ABSTRACT:
A fastening device including a plug section that is readily manipulated to quickly engage and disengage a socket section. The plug section is provided with a forwardmost elongated plug that is insertable into a bore in the socket section. Guidance and locking together of the two sections or components is achieved through a pin which extends radially from the elongated plug and which is received by a multi-directional slot arrangement associated with the socket section. Short of achieving a fully assembled condition, an axially disposed, compressible member may extend from the face end of the elongated plug to engage a stop or an end wall within the bore of the socket section and thereafter produce a constant biasing force that in addition to assuring a rigid rattle-free attachment and maintain the components in a locked position. Removal of the fastening device requires a positive forward displacement of the plug relative the socket section against the force of the compressible member prior to a compound angular and axial movement between the components. A knurled lock-nut may be used in combination with or independent of a compressible member to provide a constant biasing force as well. The lock-nut is threadably engageable with the plug element and is displaceable to frictionally engages the socket section and present against cooperatively engaging guide and catch elements.
