ABSTRACT:
A fastener for securing a first component to a second component in a device is disclosed. The fastener includes an elongated body and a head. The elongated body has a portion thereof having a cross section perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the body. The portion of the body has an arcuate connecting surface on an external periphery thereof. The body cooperates with the first component to permit the portion of the body to freely pass through a first component opening in the first component. The body cooperates with the second component to permit the portion of the body to freely pass through a second component opening in the second component when the body is oriented in a first position with respect to the second component opening. The body cooperates with the second component to permit the arcuate connecting surface to engage with the second component when the body is oriented in a second position with respect to the second component opening. The head is attached to one end of the elongated body. The head and the arcuate connecting surface cooperate to secure the first component and the second component to each other.
