When the assembly is improved, at the same time, the reduction in weight offers a double advantage. REDUCE NUMBER OF PARTS [[IMAGE]] A single SPEED NUT takes the place of both the conventional threaded nut and the lock washer. Hence one part takes the place of two. This makes clear a 50% reduction in the number of parts in addition to that amazing reduction in the weight of those parts. ARE APPLIED FASTER [[IMAGE]] Patented SPEED NUTS are applied faster than any other fastening means on the market - patented or unpatented. No wrench is required. Many are actually "zipped" on. HOLD WITH A FIRM SPRING TENSION GRIP [[IMAGE]] SPEED NUTS are build of spring steel and designed in an arc shape. They hold assembly parts together under firm spring tension. They eliminate vibration. In fact, they possess kinetic energy. This means that the harder the pull, the firmer the SPEED NUT grips the bolt, screw or rivet. DO NOT LOOSEN WITH STRAINS AND TWISTS [[IMAGE]] Spring tension SPEED NUTS do not loosen with twists and strains of any part of the assembly. They actually absorb the give and take resulting from torsional twists. LOWER ASSEMBLY COSTS [[IMAGE]] Besides the five outstanding advantages mentioned above, the SPEED NUT System of Assembly also lowers assembly costs. It stops the drag in the assembly line, plugs profit leaks and improves the entire assembly. SPEED NUT DIVISION TINNERMAN STOVE & RANGE CO.
