Abstract:
1. A fastener assembly comprising: a panel defining an opening; an object having a receptacle; a first threaded stud having an upper shaft secured within the receptacle of the object and having a threaded lower shaft extending through the opening, the first threaded stud having a first collar intermediate the upper and lower shafts and which extends through the opening; a clip secured over the first collar and extending through the opening, the clip inhibiting rotation of the first threaded stud relative to the panel and retaining the object on the panel when the upper shaft is secured within the receptacle; a second stud having a lower threaded shaft and defining an upper threaded bore that receives the lower shaft of the first threaded stud, a second collar between the threaded shaft of the second stud and the threaded bore, and a grounding stop protruding from and below the second collar; a support defining a slot that receives the threaded shaft of the second stud; and a torque nut assembled to the threaded shaft of the second stud that, when rotated at a first level of torque, rotates the stud to extend the threaded stud from the threaded bore until the grounding stop is received in the slot and prevents rotation of the second stud relative to the support, and wherein continued rotation of the nut at a second higher level of torque draws the stud through the slot until the second collar contacts the support.
