ABSTRACT:
A threaded fastener quick-fastening clip member is adapted to be slidably lockably engaged in a slotted channel adjacent a lug which is formed with an unthreaded borehole communicating the front face of the structure with the channel. A first leg portion of the clip member is inserted in slot means formed in the channel and is provided with generally rigid but resilient detent means for lockable engagement therein. A second leg portion, intersecting the first leg at an obtuse angle, extends into the channel and is formed with an aperture for registering with the borehole and engaging a threaded fastener. A canopy may cover a portion of the slotted channel adjacent the lug for providing stop means to prevent over-excursion of the second leg portion of the clip member. A threaded fastener is fastened in the borehole by initially being manually thrust endwise into the borehole without turning, thereby deflecting the second leg portion and engaging two generally opposed edges of the aperture for ratchet-like insertion. The fastener may thereafter be tightened by turning against the aforesaid edges of the aperture and may be unfastened only by reverse turning of the fastener in conventional manner.
