Default toggle nut/speed nut

I am looking for a listing or description on a quick way to clamp down
material using tee nuts and threaded rods. I need a quick way to take up
slack.
I have seen pictures years ago but don't know what they are called. They
are like a coupling nut with the upper half having thread on half the
diameter then on the lower part there are threads on the opposite side of
the inside diameter. When loosened one can tip the nut over and it slides
off the threaded rod.
Anyone made them or... know a source?? ( 5/8 UNC)

It looks as if one could make a fixture to hold coupling nuts at the
right angle and run a 5/8 end mill thru them. Maybe just an angle
vise with a stop to locate the nut under the spindle. and then run
the right Ohio Brush thru to remove the burrs.
