Abstract
A captive fastener having multiple components selectively biased to improve durability, including a primary body, an actuator, a plurality of locking pins, a biasing system, a bushing, and an actuator biasing member. Application of a predetermined force to an actuator proximal end longitudinally displaces the actuator from an actuator first position to an actuator second position and forces a cam leading edge against a biasing member to retract a pin from an extended position to a retracted position that does not interfere with a thread pattern formed in the fastener. The actuator biasing member returns the actuator to the actuator first position upon removal of the predetermined force allowing the biasing member to bias the pin away from the retracted position.
