Actually, they are called Druz fasteners, and allow for a quick disconnect
with a 1/4 turn rotation. My company uses them to secure the side and back
panels onto the diagnostic medical equipment that I service. We've used them
for over 20 years now. Nice for larger panels, but -not- appropriate for
something like the K3. The ones I use  are fairly lagre, and require a
rectangular cutout in the instrument frame to accept the receptacle that the
fastener 'screw' locks into.
