An item formed from sheet spring material into varying flat, concave, curved, or nutlike design. It has an aperture with an elliptical-shaped hole or suitable lugs or prongs designed to retain threaded or unthreaded stud like projecting memebers. When pushed on, it grips by imbedding into the material of the projecting memebers, and does not mate with a thread helix. See also ring, retaining.
