The present disclosure describes an anchor device for receiving and securing a shaft thereto. The device includes an outer housing within which a jaw assembly is secured. The outer housing of the device may in turn be secured to or within a support structure such as a building component. Jaw components of the jaw assembly may be threaded. Furthermore, the jaw assembly has at least two configurations. In a first configuration, at least one jaw component is positioned away from a central shaft axis against the biasing force of a biasing member. A removable or reconfigurable holding member or stop member selectively secures the at least one jaw component in this position. A second configuration is the result of the holding member being reconfigured by the inserted shaft. The shaft triggers movement of the at least one jaw component toward the central shaft axis and into contact with the shaft.

An example fastener includes a body and a clamp. The body includes a first resilient arm. The clamp is pivotably engaged with the body.

The invention relates to a nut for securing a component to a support, in particular a sanitary faucet to a countertop, comprising a first nut part and a second nut part, wherein the first nut part has at least two threaded lugs, which have a thread on their radially inner face, wherein the threaded lugs are arranged projecting radially outward at a first angle, and wherein the two nut parts are arranged in an axially displaceable manner relative to each other such that in a first position—open position—, the threaded lugs of the first nut part are arranged projecting radially outward and that in a second position—closed position—, the threaded lugs of the first nut part are pressed radially inward by means of the second nut part for engaging with a matching male thread of the component.

An adapter for mounting a cable hanger on a mounting structure includes a body having a base and a neck, the base having a hollow cavity and including a mounting hole with an overhanging rim, the neck including a threaded bore, the adapter being formed of a polymeric material.

The present disclosure provides a structural fastener includes a threaded rod coupler. The threaded rod coupler includes a split nut for coupling to the threaded rod. The threaded rod coupler further includes a housing connected to the structure coupler. The split nut may be received in the housing. The threaded rod coupler further includes first and second springs each coupled to and biasing corresponding one of first and second nut portions of the split nut toward one another. The present disclosure further provides a method of attaching a threaded rod to a structural component using a structural fastener. The method includes coupling a structural fastener to the structural component, sliding the threaded rod through a split nut of the structural component couple the rod to the structural fastener, and receiving springs secured in a nut arm of the split nut within a housing of the structural fastener.

The insert further includes a collar, wherein the segment carrying arms are interconnected via the collar, and wherein the collar surrounds a rod accommodation hole that is aligned with the cage, such that a straight threaded rod can be simultaneously positioned both within the rod accommodation hole and within the cage.

This publication describes techniques and apparatuses for releasably attaching an object (e.g., a wire tray) to a substrate. Current apparatuses generally do not enable the removal of an attached wire tray from a substrate without first removing an insert from a mounting stud extending from the substrate. The disclosed techniques and apparatuses are configured to permit the removal of an attached wire tray from a substrate without first removing an insert from a mounting stud extending from the substrate.
