ABSTRACT:
A locking stud for securing a plate to a support member includes a single post connected to and disposed outwardly from the plate. A single locking blade is connected to and disposed outwardly from the post on one side of and spaced from the axial center line of the post. The stud is completely open in the space opposite the locking blade. The locking blade includes an outwardly disposed arcuate surface which terminates in a crest edge and functions as a wedge lock when disposed against the edge of a hole in the support member. An inwardly disposed arcuate surface extends from the crest edge. The blade is deflectable at the inwardly disposed arcuate surface so that the inwardly disposed arcuate surface functions as a cam during insertion of the blade into the support member hole. When fully inserted the outwardly disposed arcuate surface is wedged against the hole to effectively prevent removal of the stud from the hole.
