ABSTRACT:
An adjustable nut is disclosed which has a body with an axial passageway therethrough for receiving a threaded shaft and a transverse bore communicating with the axial bore. A button is disposed in the transverse bore which has an elongate aperture passing radially therethrough. The elongate aperture intersects with the axial passageway such that said threaded shaft can pass through the elongate aperture. The button is urged out of the transverse bore by the biasing means but is secured within the transverse bore by the restrictive means to form an operative position and an inoperative position. The operative position mechanically interconnects mating threads on a distal end of the elongate aperture with threads on the threaded shaft. The adjustable nut can then be rotated to loosen or tighten the adjustable nut. The inoperative position is assumed when the button is depressed which moves the mating threads in the elongate aperture away from the threads on said threaded shaft. In doing so, substantially all mechanical restriction to motion with respect to the bolt have been removed and the adjustable nut can be slid off the threaded shaft quickly and easily.
