Abstract
A fastener is provided which is adapted to be at least partially embedded within a molded workpiece. The fastener comprises a first threaded section and a second section. The second section has a first end part defining a shoulder for making contact with a first portion of a mold during formation of the workpiece and a second end part having an outer end face for making contact with a second portion of the mold during formation of the workpiece. The second section further includes a crush-boss extending outwardly from the outer end face for contacting the second portion of the mold and thereby ensuring that the second section of the fastener is compressively engaged by the first and second portions of the mold during formation of the workpiece.
