ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for joining a molded part to a mating part by use of a self-retained, press-in-place nut that accepts transverse loading. The loaded part is defined to have ribs, each presenting pairs of planar locking surfaces and a side shoulder for transferring side loads. A nut element is formed having a supporting plate and a threaded member; the plate has opposed shoulders to mate with the shoulders of the ribs. Pairs of fingers project from the plane of the plate and toward each other within a pair; the tips of opposed fingers are spaced to be resiliently sprung by the planar surfaces of the rib when the element is wedged thereover. When the nut is pressed-in-place by said wedging with the mating shoulders interengaged, the mating part is fitted to the molded part and a threaded member in the mating part is threadably engaged with the nut permitting transverse loads to be transferred between the parts.
