Italian term or phrase: Tiranti ed eccentrici
I hope the moderators will forgive me for putting two words in the question, but in the text they are always related, so it's as if they were a single term (I hope!). They appear in the list of items included in an assembly kit for an undersink cupboard. The full list reads:

spine legno
**tiranti ed eccentrici**
viti e tasselli

Other examples from the text:
Bloccare i tiranti con gli eccentrici
Infilare i due traversi nei tiranti e bloccare con gli eccentrici

Any ideas... thanks, Sarah.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Helen... "tie-rod" was actually my first thought for "tirante", but after googling it I wasn't sure if it was the right term in a furniture assembly context.
