Claims27
A fastening nut, of the type used in the automobile industry for fixing panels and accessories thereto, wherein said nut is formed by a surface or base of the type having, extending downwardly therefrom, spring elements, the lateral force of which retains a fixing plate by means of their tension against openings or slits which pass through said fixing plate.
A fastening nut, configured to fix panels and accessories thereto, wherein said nut is formed by a surface or base and a means for applying a lateral force to an opening in a fixing plate to retain the fixing plate by means of tension against the opening that passes through the fixing plate.
A fastening nut configured to fix panels and accessories thereto, wherein said nut is formed by a surface or base and, extending downwardly therefrom, spring elements, lateral force of which retains a fixing plate by tension thereof owing to compressive force generated by the spring elements against sidewall(s) of opening(s) which pass through said plate.
