Quick assembly fastening system for plastic parts

Abstract

A fastening system for connecting plastic members to each other via a metal stud having a head and a shaft. The plastic members include a plastic member and a plastic parent member. The plastic parent member is affixed to a head of the metal stud. The shaft of the metal stud is disposed in the plastic member wherein a plastic clip is forced onto to be connected upon the threads of the shaft of the metal stud, from which connection the plastic clip is rotatively removable. Of course, the plastic clip could be formed integrally with the plastic member, and the plastic member could be adapted to carry, or have connected thereto, additional components.

1 . A fastening system comprising: 
 a. a plastic member having first and second sides and a bore therethrough;    b. a metal stud having a head and a shaft extending therefrom, the shaft having a thread formed thereon and the head being disposed on the first side having a knurl about its outer circumference, the shaft being disposed into the bore;    c. a plastic parent member affixed to the head by engagement with the knurl thereof; and    d. a plastic clip including means for being connected to the threads of the shaft by pushing the clip onto the shaft to engage the threads and allowing the clip to be rotatively removable therefrom, the plastic clip being disposed on the second side to removably engage the shaft of the stud.
