What would you call this camping chair part?

[vladcjelli]

I’ve got a nice camping chair (quest elite red commander super lite) and had it for a few years.
Intend to keep it for a few more, and with that in mind am looking for a replacement part. I’ve already contacted quest elite, who can’t help, so I thought I’d try and buy an equivalent bit from a screw/fastener website.
But what would you call a part like this?



It sits here, holding the material of the chair to the corner of the frame.



It’s a mushroom shaped bit, with the wide bottom with the screw thread the same width as the eyelet in the material.

Anyone got any idea of the correct term, if there is one, for me to search for?

Threaded button fixing?

Could the set screw be longer and have a nut on the bottom?You could drill the plastic right through and have a nut and washer. I presume the plastic thread is stripped?

Should have been clearer, the part pictured is the one from the opposite side of the chair, the one that needs replacing came undone at some point and is lost.

Push comes to shove, a bolt and appropriate washers will have to be sourced, but being a curious sort, I wanted to know what type of thing it was.

Surely it's just a plastic flanged (snigger) nut?

Set screw and threaded blind flanged plastic nut?
I suspect it will have been specially made for purpose so unlikely to find on the shelf unfortunately.

Maybe a threaded ferrule with screw?

Could a T nut with its spikes folded back flat work. Or an inter nut. Have a rummage around in any flat pack furniture you've got in the house, beds especially, there may be some thing similar. Failing that try and find a proper fixing shop in your area and try them. They may have an idea for something.

No, my nuts are like large plums wrapped in skin of a similar texture to Alan Sugars face.

They would be no good for fixing a camping chair.

Could you not just use a dome headed bolt with washer and reverse the direction? Cheap as chips.
