ABSTRACT:
A fastener assembly including a stud and plate combination is disclosed for fastening a first member to a second member. The assembly comprises a stud which includes a shank having a first and a second end. A head extends from the first end of the shank, the head defining a surface which is disposed adjacent to the first end of the shank. A plate has a first and a second face, the plate defining a slot for the reception therein of the head of the stud. The arrangement is such that when the head is inserted through the slot and is rotated relative to the plate, the first face of the plate slidably cooperates with the surface of the head. The head and the plate are configured and adapted in such a manner that when the head is rotated to the plate, the stud is securely fastened to the plate, thereby allowing the first member to be attached to the second member.
