摘要： A coupling apparatus for spanning a gap between a first structure and a second structure and fixedly coupling the first and second structures together. The coupling apparatus includes first and second coupling structures, an attachment member and a coupling member. The first coupling structure has an internally threaded cavity and is fixedly coupled to the first structure. The second coupling structure has an externally threaded body and an abutting flange. The externally threaded body threadably engages the internally threaded cavity, permitting the first and second coupling structures to cooperate to span the gap between the first and second structures such that the abutting flange abuts the second structure. The attachment member includes a threaded portion which extends through the first and second coupling structures and threadably engages the coupling member. The attachment member and the coupling member cooperate to generate a clamping force which is transmitted between the first structure, the first and second coupling structures and the second structure to thereby fixedly couple the first and second structures together. A method for fixedly coupling a first structure to a second structure is also provided.
