'Hinged' studding or bolts - source wanted
 

I seem to remember having used/seen long bolts (or studs) which are
'hinged', i.e. they poke through a slot and when the nut (usually a
wing nut) has been loosened you can swing the stud aside and and
release what they are holding.

Can anyone suggest a source of such things?

Heavy duty of the same are used on various items of machinery - metal
benders etc. for quick release. I've got a large tube cutter which uses
one. Possibly many other uses but no idea of a source for the heavy duty
items.

That's the type of thing, the Screwfix one might be robust enough for
what I'm after, thanks.
