Wingnut (hardware)

[3] ASME B18.6.9 classifies wing nuts first by manufacturing method and then by style.

Before the development of quick release skewers, bicycle wheels were held in place with wingnuts.

In drum hardware, memory refers to any system that preserves the adjustment of a stand, boom or bracket when the kit is disassembled.

Most commonly this takes the form of a collar on a tube, fixed in place by a screw operated by a drum key.

This collar mates with a fitting that receives the tube and secures it by means of a wingnut or wingbolt.
