ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a bolt fastener adapted to rotatably or non-rotatably secure a bolt to a frame through an aperture therethrough. The fastener is provided with a base member having a slot therethrough and a resilient arm that extends upwardly from an edge of the base member and, in spaced relationship, across the side thereof that is to face away from the side of the frame against which the base member is to be laid and then downwardly past an opposite edge of the base member and then inwardly towards a plane generally transverse to the plane of the base member to a free-end thereof disposed in the side of the base member facing towards the frame against which the base member is to be laid to provide an open-ended clip. The space between the base member and resilient arm is adapted to receive the head of the bolt and, dependent upon the relationship between the shape of the slot and the shape of the bolt shank portion, either rotatably or non-rotatably secure the bolt to the fastener, when the bolt shank portion is inserted into the slot with the open ended clip being adapted such that it is able to be urged towards the frame and snapped about an edge thereof to releasably secure the fastener to the frame when the bolt shank portion is inserted into the frame aperture with the base member laid thereagainst.
