Abstract
A floating fastener mounting structure includes a metal panel member defining a convex wall portion and a mounting through hole at the convex wall portion, a mounting socket including an axially extended center hole, an annular step and a stop flange extended around the periphery at different elevations and an annular locating groove defined between the annular step and the stop flange. The mounting socket is riveted to the metal panel member to force the annular locating groove into engagement with the convex wall portion, enabling the convex wall portion to be tightly stopped between the annular step and the stop flange. The annular step defines a downwardly and outwardly sloping top surface for guiding the convex wall portion of the metal panel member into engagement with the annular locating groove of the mounting socket in the rivet operation.
