Abstract
A threadless nut including radially inwardly extending translational retention lugs circumferentially spaced apart and positionable behind lugs of a stud when the nut is coupled to the stud, and radially inwardly extending rotational retention lugs circumferentially spaced apart and positioned adjacent to the translational retention lugs, and positionable adjacent to the stud lugs such that the rotational retention lugs are axially overlappable with respect to the stud lugs when the nut is coupled to the stud, wherein the translational and rotational retention lugs define seats to receive the translational retention lugs and define passages circumferentially between the seats to allow passage of the stud lugs, the rotational retention lugs being axially movable with respect to the stud lugs, and rotatably movable with respect to the stud lugs when the rotational retention lugs are axially moved with respect to the stud lugs so as to axially clear the stud lugs.
