Default toggle nut/speed nut

Thanks everyone. I even found a drawing of one in an old text so I am off
and running.

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)
