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?


Dave, not everyone has our engineering background. Give him some slack and
tell him what he wants.

Thank you for being polite, you're so right, not many people know how to ask
because they don't know how to describe what they're asking for.
