Abstract
A hybrid stackable fastener is provided for mounting to a substrate having a threaded hole. The hybrid stackable fastener is constructed to support stackable fasteners not having a threaded element. The hybrid stackable fastener has a body having a central bore defining a central axis. The central bore is tapered so as to have a diameter smaller at the bore's proximal end than toward its distal end. The hybrid stackable fastener further includes a bolt having a screw thread which extends distally from the body's central bore. Preferably, the fastener includes a plurality of spokes which radially project from the body so as to support a concentric ring.
