==Original Abstract Submitted==

A device may include a pivot nut including a first bore, a first pivot member, a second pivot member opposite the first pivot member, and one or more embossments. The first pivot member and the second pivot member define a pivot axis. A device may include a retainer including a first portion, a second portion, a central portion, a first groove at the first portion, and a second groove at the second portion. The first portion and the second portion perpendicularly extend from opposing sides of the central portion in a common direction. The first pivot member extends into the first groove and the second pivot member extends into the second groove and the pivot nut is configured to move about the pivot axis to move the first bore between a first horizontally aligned position and a second vertically aligned position.
