Abstract

A nut for interconnecting a pair of panel sheet components includes an upper and a lower nut plate. The upper nut plate includes a conical barrel portion to allow angled relative to a vertical axis of the assembly, the base plate having an axial clearance opening for accommodating a threaded fastener. The lower and upper nut plates are separated by a gap sized to accommodate one of the panel components therebetween, having a sized opening aligned with openings in the two sheets, with the barrel portion angled to facilitate assembly of the panel to a separate portion obliquely angled relative thereto. Preferably, the interconnecting portion includes a cutout portion to facilitate push-on of the assembly to a panel or sheet component with a portion of the clamping surfaces being raised with respect to the sheet component to minimize rotation of the nut during clamping.
