A Stud Mounting for Withstanding Transverse Forces and Method for Mounting a Stud.
Abstract:
A stud mounting includes a stud fixed at a first end to a plate, the stud having a threaded post portion and a base portion, the base portion being disposed at the first end of the stud. The mounting further includes a flanged nut for disposition on the stud, the nut comprising a first annular flange portion at a first end thereof, a housing portion upstanding from the first flange portion for covering the base portion of the stud, and a cylindrical tubular portion upstanding from the housing portion and having internal threads complementary to the threaded post portion of the stud. The tubular portion of the nut is threadedly engageable with the post port ion of the stud such that the nut is threadedly movable on the stud until the flange portion of the nut engages the plate. The invention further provides a mounting as described above and comprising a second annular flange extending from a second end of the nut, and an elastomeric bushing filling an annular groove defined by the first annular flange, the housing portion, the tubular portion, and the second annular flange.
