Abstract
A two piece tubular standoff bushing especially suited for use as a spacer for separating or stacking structural components that require isolation, with the bushing consisting of an anchor housing providing a central bore including internal restraining members and a two-walled locking member insertable therein with the restraining members projecting inwardly between the walls and behind a locking ring for fastening the standoff bushing to a structural member.
Claims4
A captive standoff bushing for cooperating with an apertured panel member for rigidly mounting the member in a spaced or stacked isolated relation to other like apertured panel members comprising,
- (a) a tubular anchor member, having a center bore the diameter of which is greater than the aperture formed in the panel member,
- (b) a locking member including a circular base collar,
- (c) said locking member including a pair of spaced apart legs extending laterally of one side of said circular base collar,
- (d) a locking ring connecting the extremities of said spaced apart legs together, and having a diameter less than that of said bore of said tubular anchor member so as to be capable of being freely journalled therein, and
- (e) restraining means within said tubular anchor member and extending transversely to the long axis thereof adapted to project between said spaced apart legs and behind said locking ring of said locking member when said locking ring is journalled in said anchor member for locking said locking member within said tubular anchor member.
