ABSTRACT:
A fastener assembly which includes a nut held loosely by a cage secured to an inaccessible surface of a panel. Serrations in the facing surfaces of the cage and the nut cause them to mutually interlock when pressed together by a tightened bolt passing through aligned apertures in the panel being fastened and the cage. The mutual interlocking of the nut and the cage, either directly or through an intermediate element, causes the assembly to transfer shear loads imposed by the bolt from the bolt aperture in the inner panel to the points where the cage holding the nut is attached to that panel.
