Abstract
A swivel nut assembly consists of a nut formed of a pair of pivotally interconnected U-shaped disks each forming a U-shaped recess. The disks can be pivoted from an open position with the U-shaped recesses disposed in spaced relation to a closed position where the disks overlap and a portion of each of the recesses combine to provide the threaded opening through the nut. Each disk has an extension projecting from it toward the other disk. In the closed position the disks can be locked together.
