About Oddie® Fasteners
"Oddie®" is the registered trade mark of Oddie Quarter Turn Fasteners
The oddie fastener is a quick release, quarter turn, fastening for securing panels or components that have to be speedily and easily removed for servicing or replacement - whether once a day, or once a year.
In its simplest form it consist of a stud, held in a removable panel by a retainer, and a spring steel clip permanently mounted to the framework of the equipment.
A quarter turn of the stud opens the fastener, and to lock it again the stud is pushed home into the clip.
