DEFINITION

Classification: 411/182

Nonmetallic nut, resiliently deformable during assembly:

(under subclass 177) Device wherein the nut is formed of other than metallic material (e.g., of an elastomeric composition) and is elastically distorted, momentarily or otherwise, while being joined to the substructure.

(1) Note. The joining frequently involves the forcing of a mounting portion of the nut into an opening in the substructure which is somewhat smaller than the overall dimensions, radially, of that portion.
