Fastening systems are commonly used to retain an object in a desired location. Fastening systems are often designed to preclude movement in all three dimensions or directions. When the environment in which the object is to be retained is subject to severe forces and impacts, fastening systems often include bolts, screws, welds, or other semi-permanent or permanent fastening methods configured to withstand such forces and impacts.
Interchangeability of objects is limited or encumbered by fastening methods noted above as the systems usually require multiple fasteners (e.g., a bolt in each of four corners) and the removal of each fastener often requires tools. Retaining an object in an obscure or hard-to-reach location may be precluded by the need to access the location with tools of sufficient size and strength to remove the fasteners to remove the object. Further, installing or retaining an object within a location may be difficult due to the lack of ability to see the fasteners or fastener recess in the object that is to be fastened. Interchangability of objects may be a slow and detailed task that requires a high degree of accuracy and time. It is desirable to have a retaining system that allows for simple and fast installation and removal of an object without requiring multiple fasteners, large tools, or line-of-sight access to the retaining system.
