Abstract
A frangible fastener system configured to secure a second retained member to a first retained member until the frangible fastener system receives a breaking force is described. The frangible fastener system comprises a first fastener and a second fastener. The first fastener comprises a flange configured to cause retention of the first retained member toward a base member. The first fastener is configured to engage the base member and to receive the second fastener along a first axis of the frangible faster system. The second fastener comprises a frangible portion configured to separate responsive to receiving the breaking force, and a head portion connected to the frangible portion. The head portion is configured to cause retention of the second retained member toward the first retained member until the frangible portion separates responsive to receiving the breaking force.
