More Information
Summary:A panel fastener is comprised of two separately formed interacting parts: a panel retainer (13) and an actuator pin (11). The retainer is fashioned from sheet metal using progressive stamping technology. The retainer and pin work together to create a fastener for securing two panels together that can semi- permanently snap into the first panel (32) and then be clamped onto and then selectively removed from the second panel ( 41 ). Attachment to the second panel is obtained by expanding and later released by contracting the legs (21) of the retainer by rotating a cammed expander pin between self-locking positions. A head (9) of the expander pin can be configured for hand actuation, tool-only actuation, or both. The retainer is fashioned from sheet metal using progressive stamping technology. Fig 1
