Tech/Engineering - Engineering (general)
English term or phrase: cage nut
In a list:

-cage nuts, screws.

Fant et bilde på Wikipedia. Ser ut som et firkantet "bur" med hull i med en eller annen mekanisme i.
Har noen en ide om hva dette heter på norsk?

Explanation:
At hyperlinesystems.com they use "firkantmutter" on their Norwegian pages, and I get 77 hits for that term on Google.

("Møtrik" is the Danish word for what is called "mutter" in Norwegian, but "rackmutter" or "klemmemutter" only gives a few Google-hits.)

By the way, this is posted under Norwegian into English. Shouldn't it have been English into Norweigan? ;-)

På dansk er det en rack møtrik eller klemme møtrik.
