ABSTRACT:
A captive panel fastener assembly comprising a stud having three splines substantially along its length, a retaining ring with inwardly extending tabs slidably riding within said splines and a plug press-fitted to a bore at the forward end of the stud. After insertion of the stud through a hole in a panel, to which the stud is to be captivated, the tabs of the retaining ring are engaged with the splines and the plug is then inserted into the bore to retain the ring on the stud. The stud is thereby captivated to the panel. The manner of installing the ring permits a more rigid and closely fitting retaining ring to be used as a captivating means and thus the ring is more resistant to accidental displacement than more flexible retaining rings.
