Abstract
A toilet fastening system includes a bolt, a nut, and a cap, the bolt and nut each configured with ratchet or ratchet-like portions that define a ratchet or ratchet-like constructs between the bolt and nut to provide controlled tightening (rotation) of the nut onto the bolt, audible confirmation of nut tightening, and tactile user feedback while aiding in preventing back off of the nut relative to the bolt, the cap joining with the nut such that the cap becomes the tightening and loosening tool for the nut as well as the finished beauty cap for the toilet fastening system. The bolt has an offset foot with curved inner and outer surfaces for positive orientation and seating of the bolt into the toilet flange.
