Cover hold down mechanism

In combination, first and second members (16 and 10) designed to be secured together, said first member having an accessible face and an inaccessible face, said first member having a triangular opening (26) extending between the two faces, said second member having an opening (27) extending therethrough;

• a connector device comprising a scew (24) having an enlarged accessible head (30) and a threaded shank extending through the opening in the second member toward the first member, a nut (22) threaded on the shank, said nut having a triangular perimetrical configuration that is slightly smaller dimension than said triangular opening whereby the nut can be extended through the triangular opening without disconnecting the nut from the screw, said nut having a cutaway area (20) whose length measured about the axis of the screw is approximately sixty degrees, and a motion-limiting member (18) extending from the second member into the cutaway area of the nut so that after the nut has been passed through the triangular opening in the first member the screw can be turned to initially produce limited rotary movement of the nut approximately sixty degrees into a position of axial overlapment with the inaccessible surface of said first member, said screw being further turnable to cause the nut to move axially along the screw into tightened engagement with the inaccessible face of said first member;
• said motion-limiting member acting to prevent rotation of the nut while said nut is undergoing said last-mentioned axial motion toward the inaccessible face of said first member.
