The T-head is adapted to non-rotatably engage an appropriately sized aperture. Intermediate the collar and sleeve, and located about the bolt, is a bias spring which biases the collar towards the T-head to hold the bolt in engaging relation with the aperture in which the T-head is inserted. The connection between the aperture and bolt may be secured by rotating the nut apparatus in a predetermined direction. A hollow connector ball, having a plurality of apertures adapted to receive and be engaged by the T-head of the bolt, is also provided to allow the structural members to be interconnected at various angles.Field of SearchLugged member, rotary engagementBayonet joint Terminal, rod-attached retainer engages distal side Inserted into rod Utilizing internal rod structure Inserted, blind-side-engaging, retaining portion on rod Bolted through member Polyhedral Unilateral of plane Polyhedral Releasably captive nut or bolt Means to lock bolt or nut when other is turned Related to joint component | |
