Quick Release Rack Screw is indeed the name of the product I was trying 
to describe.  Below is another link to their web site and a view as to 
how they are used:

Unfortunately, out of stock.  A hundred piece order is pricy, but so is 
a dropped piece of equipment or medical treatment for your broken foot 
resulting from fumbling around will trying to get a rack screw started.  
Looks like they did sell in 25 and 50 piece orders.

Thanks to Bob for identifying the hardware.
