ABSTRACT:
A key bolt fastener has a shank with a locking key-receiving adaptation at one end. The locking key is shaped like a tweezers, having a first end that joins two arms in a resilient fashion, and a bifurcate second end in which the ends of the two arms are normally in spaced apart relationship. When the locking key is retained to the key-receiving adaptation by a pin transversely disposed in the shank and passing through slots in the arms at substantially right angles, the locking key is slidable within the adaptation to an unlocked position where the first end of the locking key extends directly outwardly of the shank and forms an extension thereof. The locking key is also slidable to a locked position wherein the locking key is substantially perpendicular to the shank and a key lock abuts the bolt shank to retain the locking key in locked position. The locking key is yieldable at the bifurcate second end to enable the key lock abutment to be moved from locked position to unlocked position. In one embodiment, the key-receiving adaptation is a bolt slot; in a second embodiment, the key-receiving adaptation is a shelf-type recess.
