Abstract
A multiple threaded fastener assembly includes at least two hingedly interconnected members, each having a threaded bore therein constituting a nut for coaction with threaded bolts. The bolts operatively engage workpiece openings. Tightening of respective sets of interengaged bolts and nuts of the fastener assembly is effected by a single wrench operation since the torque or restraining force on one member is provided through the connection to the other member. Detents and indicating indicia may be provided for positive locating action of the members.
