ABSTRACT:
A fastener assembly is shown including a cylindrical support structure with a bore provided partially therein, the bore having a wall surface with a slot, and a bushing, disposed within the bore of the cylindrical support structure, having an end and an outer surface with a slot therein. The bushing further includes a bore with a first portion having a first diameter and a second portion having a second different diameter, the bushing also having a pair of tangs extending from the end. The fastener assembly further includes a nut, partially disposed within the second portion of the bore of the bushing, the nut having an outer surface with a pair of lugs disposed on the outer surface to engage the pair of tangs of the bushing and a pin disposed juxtapositional the slot of the wall surface of the cylindrical support structure and juxtapositional the slot of the bushing. The fastener assembly still further includes a pin disposed juxtapositional the slot of the wall surface of the cylindrical support structure and juxtapositional the slot of the bushing. With such an arrangement, a fastener assembly is provided in which a forward shell section and an aft shell can be interconnected independent of the cylindrical support structure, thus maintaining circularity of airframe components and minimizing circular distortion.
