F) SCOPE OF THE INVENTION: 12. The invention may be used along with a quarter turn nut(s) or like embodied by designing a plastic adaptor for usage in manufacturing Medical Equipments like Ultrasound devices or any other like medical device components. The advantage(s) of this invention is to provide a simple but effective solution for fastening problem. As the primary object of the invention being to invent an adaptor for a new process of using the plastic components or like in a sheet metal assembly component the invention is novel and carries wide public utility in the field of manufacturing of medical devices. 13. Although the invention has been described with reference to specific embodiments, this invention is not to be construed in limiting sense. Various modification(s) of the disclosed embodiments, as well as alternate embodiments of the invention, will become apparent to persons skilled in the art upon reference to the description of the invention. It is therefore contemplated that such modifications can be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention as defined. G) BEST METHOD OF PERFORMANCE 14. The invention presented herein is implemented by designing a plastic adaptor and used along with quarter turn nuts or like for usage in devises like Ultrasound scanner or any other like medical device components to enable the inserts to use in sheet metal or machined components. H) WE CLAIM: 15. The assembly of plastic adaptor, which enables the inserts to use in sheet metal or machined components, which achieves fitting to metal sheet components as well as plastic sheets or any like wall is claimed. What is claimed is: 1. An assembly or plastic molded adaptor for quarter turn nut/ threaded insert or like, which enables the inserts to use in sheet metal or machined components or any other plastic part surface, and the said adaptor comprising of: i) an plastic molded or like adaptor body; ii) said adaptor body for inserting thermal insertion thread; iii) said adaptor body comprising a head end for insertion of threaded insert; iv) said adaptor body having a base threaded to a wall of metal sheet or like to the wall; 2. The adaptor of claim 1, wherein said base containing holes to be attached to said wall of any metal sheet or plastic wall. 3. The adaptor of claim 1, wherein body containing the appropriate thermal insert with thread suitable for a inserting nut. 4. The adaptor of claim 1, wherein the use of such adaptor in a component wherein no integral threaded parts to be constructed. Dated this the 22nd day of August 2005.
