20140079511 | Mounting Fastener for Securing Loads to Surfaces - A mounting fastener comprises a piston having an extendable and retractable piston head. The piston head is mounted in a through bore defined by a first surface to allow slidable movement of the piston head in relation to the first surface along an axis of the through bore. A second surface is configured to overlie and mate with the first surface. The second surface defines a through opening disposed along the second surface such that the through opening is brought into registration with the through bore when the second surface is mated with said first surface. The through opening is sized to receive and engage the piston head. Thus, mating of the first and second surfaces and engagement of the piston head by the second surface secures the second surface against movement along the piston central axis and along the first surface. | 03-20-2014 |
