ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a fastener assembly for use with a machine table having a work supporting surface and at least one elongated T-slot formed in the table and opened to the surface. The fastener assembly includes an elongated stud threaded at one end and a cross member secured transversely across its other end. This cross member is dimensioned to that it is insertable into the T-slot and thereafter rotatable within the wider portion of the T-slot. The fastener assembly further includes a U-shaped collar having an opening in its base through which the stud is slidably received. The collar is slid over the stud and into the T-slot whereupon the legs of the collar are positioned on opposite sides of the cross member and thus prevent rotation of the cross member. In a second embodiment, a square shoulder is formed above the cross member which fits within the narrow portion of the T-slot to prevent rotation of the stud while a spring carried by the cross member urges the shoulder upwardly and into the narrower portion of the slot.
