English term

ear nut

English to Slovenian Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering fasteners
Two 1 mm thick sheet metal parts are fastened with a bolt and an "ear nut".

Note: from the drawing of the assembly it is clear that the part is not a wing nut

Discussion

the drawing of the assembly Yes, it would be better just to upload the drawing
Tomi Dobaj Aug 1, 2016:
The terminology used is often just random, especially in translated source texts, so it would be helpful to see an image, at approximate one..
Tomislav Patarčić (asker) Aug 1, 2016:
No, it is not. However I guess that the operating principle might be similar to *some* of the nuts used for earrings, i.e. this particular type of nut may be without threads. Of course, the text was not originally in English and it would be safe to assume that the expression is wrong, but there is an actual drawing attached and it definitely is not earring ear nut (nor wing nut, for that matter).

vpenjalna matica

I am not sure how the nut on the image is an "ear nut", but this is what this is - clamping nut.

ušesna matica

Res je krilna matica izraz, ki se ponavadi uporablja. Izhajam iz opombe, da to ni ustrezen izraz in iščem alternativo.

Dobeseden prevod bi bil: ušesna matica

pritrdilna matica

Na osnovi diskusije predvidevam, da ne gre za vpenjanje, ampak za samo pritrditev (z vijakom in pritrdilno matico)

According to discussion and drawing itself, I would say that it is about attaching two plates with a bolt and attachment nut.
