Abstract:
Fastener systems and methods for attaching two or more parts are disclosed. A fastener can include a nut component configured to extend into at least a portion of an aperture in a first part and at least a portion of an aperture in a second part. The fastener can further include a compression body configured to fit into an enlarged portion of the aperture in the second part, and a screw component having a head portion configured to engage with a top notch formed in the compression body and an elongated portion configured to engage with the nut component. A diameter of the head portion of the screw component can be less than a diameter of the top notch in the compression body such that the screw component can move in a radial direction relative to the compression body during placement of the fastener to attach two or more parts.
