Abstract:
A stud for interconnecting a pair of components that each include a stud-receiving aperture, said stud comprising:a generally cylindrical shank including a first external thread adjacent a first longitudinal end, and a second external thread adjacent a second longitudinal end opposite from the first end, wherein the first and second threads each terminate at respective inner end points spaced from each other and inwardly of the respective ends to define an unthreaded region between the first and second threads, at least one longitudinal end of the shank including a stud rotation formation to allow rotational orientation of the stud; and an external formation carried by the shank in the unthreaded region between the inner end points of the threads and extending radially outwardly from the shank, the external formation having a peripheral surface that is engaged with a complementary anti-rotation member to prevent unintended rotation of the stud relative to the anti-rotation member.
