Abstract
A compensation nut fastener assembly (100) includes a first nut (102), a second nut (104) that is adjustably coupled to the first nut (102), and at least one first stop member (130) that is configured to cooperate with at least one second stop member of a component to rotationally constrain the first nut (102) relative to the component.
Claims20
A compensation nut fastener assembly comprising:
- a first nut;
- a second nut that is adjustably coupled to the first nut;
- and
- at least one first stop member that is configured to cooperate with at least one second stop member of a component to rotationally constrain the first nut relative to the component.

A fastening system comprising:
- a compensation nut fastener assembly including:
- a first nut;
- a second nut that is adjustably coupled to the first nut;
- and
- at least one first stop member;
- and
- a component including at least one second stop member, wherein the at least one first stop member cooperates with the at least one second stop member to rotationally constrain the first nut relative to the component.
4 more elements
A fastening system comprising:
- a compensation nut fastener assembly including:
- a first nut including a component-abutting collar, a fastener-receiving channel that is configured to receive a portion of a fastener, and a plurality of first stop members extending outwardly from the component-abutting collar;
- a second nut that is adjustably coupled to the first nut, wherein the first nut is threadably coupled to the second nut, and wherein the first nut is configured to threadably retain a fastener;
- and
- a component including a plurality of second stop members, wherein plurality of first stop members cooperate with the plurality of second stop members to rotationally constrain the first nut relative to the component, wherein the plurality of first stop members are configured to rotate into engagement with the plurality of second stop members to rotationally constrain the first nut relative to the component.
