Abstract
A high-speed nut having two jaws capable of taking up two positions, one in which the central tapping is not engaged with a threaded rod, and a second in which the tapping is engaged therewith. According to the invention, the nut comprises two pieces (10, 11) which are hinged to each other about an axis (13), with pivoting of the pieces being caused by the front portion (15) of the pieces coming into contact with the object to be clamped.
