Clevis fastener
A
clevis fastener is a three-piece fastener system consisting of a
clevis,
clevis pin, and
tang. The clevis is a U-shaped piece that has holes at the end of the prongs to accept the clevis pin. The clevis pin is similar to a
bolt, but is only partially threaded or unthreaded with a cross-hole for a
split pin. The tang is a piece that fits in the space within the clevis and is held in place by the clevis pin. The combination of a simple clevis fitted with a pin is commonly called a
shackle, although a clevis and pin is only one of the many forms a shackle may take.
