Default What's this fastener called?

Can anyone tell me the correct name for the fastener that's commonly
used to hold the wheels onto an axle of kids toys, or push chairs. It
looks like a domed metal cap with a captive star washer inside that
pushes onto the end of the axle and the "teeth" on the star washer
grip the end of the axle to stop the cap from coming off.

If I can find the proper name I might then be able to google to find a
source for them.


So let me see if I've got this right. You want a domed cap with a star
washer in it. Hmmm let me take a real flyer on this on this and type
"domed cap star washer" into Google. Yeah I know, I'm just a real crazy
guy but I'll give anything a whirl once.

Now that was hard wasn't it?
