Low cost fasteners aid quick assembly for displays
Anixter
Components (formerly Heyco) has added three new ranges of low cost fasteners
to its comprehensive catalogue. Viking and Ratchet Screws, Snap and Ratchet
Rivets, and Swatch Fasteners are ideal for quick and easy assembly of displays
and panels.
The Viking and Ratchet Screws are a range of male / female threaded fasteners
that provide a simple method of securing lightweight materials such as Foamex,
Correx, cardboard and other popular display materials. The unique thread
and nut design enables the nuts to be simply pushed on, instead of having
to turn them like conventional nuts. They can also be removed and reused
easily. Available in clear, black or white, they blend in with display colours.
Snap and Ratchet Rivets provide a more secure method of fastening. They
are easy to install and can simply be pushed together under fingertip pressure.
Both rivets feature a low profile head, providing a neat finish.
There are two designs of Ratchet Rivet that can accommodate panel sizes
from 3.0mm to 20.6mm. One is based on a threaded fastener design that can
be pushed together and unscrewed and re-used, and the other consists of
two sets of ratchets that simply ‘click’ together. The Snap
Rivets are designed to be a permanent fixing and accommodate panel sizes
from 4.3mm to 19.5mm thick.
Swatch fasteners are a two-part fastener ideal for securing swatches of
paper, card and cloth. Available in black or white, they are offered in
permanent and removable formats and can accommodate thicknesses from 5.0mm
to 63.5mm.
“These new fasteners are a neat and simple solution for lightweight
materials,” says Andrew Fletcher, Technical Director, Anixter Components.
“They compliment our existing range of products and accessories for
display and point of sale applications, and I am delighted that we can now
include as part of our offering.”
