ABSTRACT:
A device for fastening a temporary replacement heat shield tile to the strain isolation pad of a space vehicle is disclosed. An internally threaded, flanged cylinder 20 is rotatably connected to a threaded brass plug 18 through a flanged aluminum sleeve 16 to form the device. The device is adhesively attached to the replacement tile 12 before using. In using the device, the tile containing the device is placed against the strain isolation pad 14 of the space vehicle such that the flanged portion of the flanged cylinder rests against the strain isolation pad. This flanged portion, which consists of a plurality of `L` shaped blades 41-44, is then rotated into the strain isolation pad. The brass plug is then rotated with respect to the flanged stainless steel cylinder to draw the tile snuggly against isolation pad and thus complete the fastening process.
