ABSTRACT:
A front insert receptacle for use in fastening two members together. The receptacle including housing opened at one end to removeably receive a stud therein. A stop surface is on the housing to engage with the upper surface of one member when the receptacle is partially extended through an opening therein. Structure is on the housing to form a rotational stop to prevent the housing from rotating with respect to the one member when it is extended therein. At least one cam slot is on the housing and a corresponding cam follower is captured by the cam slot and is initially in a first position when the housing is inserted in the one member. Biasing structure is on the housing in engagement with the cam follower and responsive to engagement of the cam follower and rotation thereof along the cam slots until in alignment with a portion of the slot which permits the biasing means to direct a portion of the cam follower into engagement with the under surface of the one member to retain the receptacle in position on the one member. Finally, a stud lock is on the housing adapted to engage with a stud after a housing has been mounted on the one member and the stud has been mounted in the other member and inserted into the housing. Thereafter, relative rotation of the stud with respect to the housing in one direction will compress the biasing means, activate the stud locking means, and draw the two members into fixed interengagement and relative rotation of the stud with respect to the housing in a second direction will deactivate the stud lock and permit the stud to be removed from the housing and the two members to be separated.
