Content

In one embodiment, the pair of opposed arms 702 extend in opposite directions from each other. In one embodiment, the pair of opposed arms 702 may be in the shape of a delta shape, like a delta wing. In this manner, given the placement and orientation of the recess 120, rotatable structure 112, and the screw opening(s) 106, a single pair of opposed arms 702 can engage two screws 104 positioned within a pair of screw openings 106 when the rotatable structure 112 is in a locked orientation. The arm 114 serves to restrict back-out of the screw 104. The rotatable structures 112 also include a drive feature 118 that can receive torque from a driver to rotate the rotatable structure 112 between the locked orientation and an unlocked orientation.
