Fastener-component sub-assembly
Abstract:
A fastener-component sub-assembly has a body, a retaining member, and a fastener. The component has an interior surface, an exterior surface, and one or more openings extending from the interior surface to the exterior surface. A first opening of the one or more openings has an inlet and outlet, with an axis extending therethrough. The retaining member is disposed in the first opening of the one or more openings between the inlet and the outlet. The fastener is disposed in the first opening, and the fastener includes a narrow portion and a wide portion. The width of the narrow portion is less than the width of the wide portion. The fastener is movable in the first opening between an extended position and a recessed position. The narrow portion of the fastener is sized such the fastener is able to freely move along the axis and through the retaining member. The wide portion of the fastener is sized such that the fastener is prevented from moving toward the inlet of the first opening when the wide portion engages the retaining member.
