is there a name for these 'nuts'

in an item of furniture of the flat-packed variety, sometimes they have these long screws/bolts going into and through one bit of wood, say the end of a bed, into the sides

the screw fastens into the side of a sort of cylindrical 'nut' with a slot at one end for you to locate it in it's hole

what the hell are they called, and can you link me to a picture please

thanks!

edit: not the eccentric twisty things

no, the camlock thing is what I meant by 'eccentric twisty thing' wink

just like a smooth cylinder with a threaded hole through from side to side, and a slot in one end
