ABSTRACT:
A fastener assembly for securing first and second members (12, 14) to one another includes a cylindrical body (16) to be received and secured within a sheath (40). The cylindrical body includes a pair of longitudinal recesses (30, 32) extending in its external surface, and a spherical member (24) extending from the end thereof. The sheath includes a cylindrical bore (42) for receiving the body with a pair of ribs (44, 46) extending into the bore for alignment with the recesses. The spherical member extends from the sheath and is slotted (26) for retention against an outer surface (14a) of the second member. The ribs taper from an enlarged end (58) to be frictionally secured within the recesses for axial retention and anti-rotation.
