Abstract
A fastener assembly includes a plunger, a grommet, and a lever arm. The plunger may include a head, a tip portion, and a longitudinal centerline axis. The grommet may be configured to receive the tip portion of the plunger. The tip portion of the plunger may be axially movable relative to the grommet between a latched state and an unlatched state. The lever arm may be coupled to the plunger between the head and the tip portion. The lever arm extends from the plunger at an angle relative to the longitudinal centerline axis, with the lever arm being actuatable to switch the fastener assembly from the latched state to the unlatched state, according to various embodiments.
