Abstract:
A temporary fastener a plunger having a distal portion including a plurality of plunger fingers, where depressing the plunger causes axial translation of a collet body to place the temporary fastener in an activated state where a plurality of flexible fingers in the collet body radially converge and where releasing the plunger places the temporary fastener in a clamped state in which the plurality of flexible fingers in the collet body are outwardly displaced. The temporary fastener further includes a web element positioned at a proximal end of a rod and including a plurality of opening permitting the plurality of plunger fingers to axially translate there through during depression and release of the plunger. The temporary fastener further includes a spring positioned within a case and exerting a restorative force on the collet body and the plunger in response to depression of the plunger.

Claim (Index 7):
A fastener removably coupling two work pieces, the fastener comprising:\n a collet body having a distal portion including a plurality of flexible fingers having gripping portions extending radially from outer surfaces of the plurality of flexible fingers; a case having an inner surface at least partially surrounding the collet body, a work piece contacting portion, and a distal end; a rod at least partially surrounded by the case and having a distal end and a proximal end, where the distal end of the rod interacts with the plurality of flexible fingers to radially expand the plurality of flexible fingers when the fastener is in a clamped state; a plunger having a distal portion including a plurality of plunger fingers, where the distal portion includes a plurality of slots and where depressing the plunger causes axial translation of the collet body; a web element positioned at the proximal end of the rod and including a plurality of openings permitting the plurality of plunger fingers to axially translate there through when the plunger is depressed and released; and a spring positioned within the case and exerting a restorative force on the collet body and the plunger when the plunger is depressed to place the fastener in an activated state.
