Multi-threaded nut assembly having tilted barrel section

A nut assembly for use with a manufacturing assembly of a pair of sheet components interconnected by a threaded fastener, said sheet components being assembled in overlapping fashion, said overlapping region defining an oblique angle relative to one of a horizontal and a vertical plane, said nut assembly comprising:

• a first nut plate;
• a second nut plate;
• a base portion interconnecting said first and second nut plates;
• a cylindrical barrel portion extending from said first nut plate, wherein said first and said second nut plate define a spacing adapted to allow a first sheet component to be clamped therebetween, each of said nut plates, said cylindrical barrel portion and said first sheet component having aligned openings adapted for allowing a threaded faster to pass therethrough, and in which said cylindrical barrel portion is tilted by a predetermined angle relative to said first and second nut plates, said predetermined angle adapted to be substantially equal to the oblique angle defined by said overlapping region for allowing said threaded fastening means to be introduced through aligned openings in said barrel portion, said panel components and said nut plates, in one of a horizontal and a vertical orientation to facilitate assembly.
