Patent ID: 8235634

Claim:
A cage nut assembly comprising: a. a first nut capture region adapted to retain an object, said first nut capture region defined by: i. a first base, wherein said base comprises a perimeter and a hole disposed substantially in the center of said first base; ii. a first lateral truss integral with the perimeter of said first base; iii, a second lateral truss integral with the perimeter of said first base and disposed substantially opposite relative to said first lateral truss; iv. a first pair of upwardly extending arms, further comprising: 1. a first upwardly extending arm integral with the perimeter of said first base, disposed substantially perpendicular to said first and second lateral truss; and 2. a second upwardly extending arm integral with the perimeter of said first base, disposed substantially perpendicular to said first and second lateral truss and opposite said first upwardly extending arm; b. at least one second nut capture region adapted to retain an object, said second nut capture region defined by: i. a second base, wherein said second base comprises a perimeter and a hole disposed substantially in the center of said second base; ii. a third lateral truss integral with the perimeter of said second base; iii. a fourth lateral truss integral with the perimeter of said second base and disposed substantially opposite relative to said third lateral truss; iv. a second pair of upwardly extending arms, further comprising: 1. a third upwardly extending arm integral with the perimeter of said second base, disposed substantially perpendicular to said third and fourth lateral truss; and 2. a fourth upwardly extending arm integral with the perimeter of said base, disposed substantially perpendicular to said third and fourth lateral truss and substantially opposite said third upwardly extending arm; c. wherein the first base and second base are defined by a single, continuous structure and said first nut capture region further comprises a pair of C-shaped members extending at least in part above a portion of said first nut capture region and from said first pair of upwardly extending arms, the pair of C-shaped members comprising: i. a first C-shaped member having a first bearing surface extending generally perpendicularly from the first upwardly extending arm, a first vertical extent extending generally perpendicularly from the first bearing surface, and a first capture arm extending generally perpendicularly from an upper end of the first vertical extent; and ii. a second C-shaped member defined by a second bearing surface extending generally perpendicularly from the second upwardly extending arm, a second vertical extent extending generally perpendicularly from the second bearing surface, and a second capture arm extending generally perpendicularly from an upper end of the second vertical extent.
