Abstract
A channel nut holder includes a polymer body having a central axis, top surface, plurality of side surfaces, and a bottom surface. A channel nut opening is positioned between the side surfaces. The channel nut opening is configured to receive a channel nut. The channel nut holder further includes a spring back mechanism having a plurality of gripping flaps disposed on the top surface at an acute angle alpha (α) with respect to the central axis.

A channel nut holder comprising:
- a polymer body having a central axis, a planar top surface, a plurality of side surfaces, and a bottom surface,
- wherein the plurality of side surfaces are positioned between the bottom surface and the planar top surface;
- a channel nut opening positioned between the side surfaces;
- a spring back mechanism having a plurality of gripping flaps disposed downwards at an acute angle alpha (a) with respect to the planar top surface, wherein each gripping flap extends along an entire length of the channel nut holder;
- an opening disposed in the planar top surface and the plurality of gripping flaps,
- wherein the channel nut opening is configured to receive a channel nut, and
- wherein the opening disposed in the planar top surface and the plurality of gripping flaps is configured to provide access to the channel nut;
- and
- a pair of finger grips extending upwards from the planar top surface and spaced from the opening disposed in the planar top surface and the plurality of gripping flaps.
