ABSTRACT:
A fastener unit for use on a composite nonmetallic surface which includes a channel of composite nonmetallic material, which may be bonded or riveted to the supporting surface, and has at least one opening through it, and a fastener assembly which includes a basket having an opening in its center and slotted deflectable end walls, a retainer member, including a flat portion with tabs projecting into openings in the side flanges of the channel and a tubular portion extending into the opening in the central web of the channel, and a nut having a base portion with tabs received in the openings in the end walls of the basket. Clearances are provided so that the nut has limited lateral floating movement. The nut is removable from the remainder of the unit by deflecting the end walls of the basket, which permits the nut to be replaced.
