ABSTRACT:
A fastening device adapted for quick attachment to a threaded rod at any point along the length of the rod, comprising a fastening element having a web and first and second generally flat flanges extending outwardly from the web in spaced-apart substantially parallel relation. Each flange has opposite side edges and an outer edge opposite the web. A pair of recesses extend inwardly from respective side edges of the flanges at opposite sides of the fastening element, the recesses having rounded generally concentric inner edges threaded to mate with the threads of the threaded rod. A retainer is provided for retaining the inner edges in threaded engagement with the rod. The fastening device is attached to a vertical threaded rod by moving the fastening element to a position in which the first and second flanges lie in generally vertical planes with the threaded rod disposed between the flanges and in general alignment with the recesses, rotating the fastening element to bring the rod into the recesses and the threaded inner edges of the recesses into mating engagement with the threads of the rod, and assembling the retainer with the fastener element to retain the threaded recess edges in engagement with the threaded rod.
