(54) Title: FASTENER ASSEMBLIES FOR DETACHABLY COUPLING STRUCTURES TOGETHER (57) : A fastener assembly includes various features that work in conjunction to compress one structure against anoth- er structure thereby detachably coupling the structures together. The features may include one or more of a stud, a lever, a body, a fastener, etc.. Some of these features may be pivotable, rotatable, etc. between positions to assist in coupling the structures togeth- er. Other example fastener assemblies and systems including one or more fastener assemblies are also disclosed.
