ABSTRACT:
A front insert receptacle for fastening two members together. The receptacle includes a housing formed with a base and a pair of opposing spaced legs adapted to receive a stud therebetween. 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. A rotational stop is on the housing to prevent rotation of the housing with respect to the one member when extended therein. A cam surface is located on the housing in the form of an inwardly extending tang on at least one of the legs. A shiftable cam follower in the form of a disc is in the housing initially positioned so that each tang initially engages with the portion of the cam member when the housing is inserted in the opening in the one member. A biasing spring in the housing engages with the cam member and initially biases the cam member against the tangs. When the disc shaped cam member is rotated with respect to the tangs, the portions in engagement with the tangs will disengage therewith whereupon the spring will direct the disengaged portions of the cam follower into engagement with the undersurface of the member in which the receptacle is positioned to lock the receptacle in position on the one member. Stud locking surfaces are located on the housing so that when a stud is engaged with the other member to be fastened and passed into the housing it will lock with the receptacle and hold the two members together.
