ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for retaining a threaded device in association with an article when the article is disengaged from another. The apparatus is intended for mounting on the article and has a center section formed with a center aperture sized for receiving the threaded device. A pair of elongated arm members each extend from opposite edges of the center section and are formed over onto a surface of the center section with an inner edge thereof configured to extend into the center aperture and engage the threaded device when the threaded device is inserted into the center aperture. The elongated arms are in compressed engagement with the surface of the center section when the threaded device secures the article to another article and expand when the threaded device is disengaged from the other article to cooperate with each other in securing the threaded device to the article.
