Chassis "Caged" Nuts?

What is the correct term for the Chassis "Caged" Nuts?

Used for securing the chassis to the cabinet with the chassis mounting screws?

Example: Peavey Session 400 chassis

Thanks

Jamie

A friend sent this link to Mojo.

I took a shot in the dark as to defining the term. Yep, that's a Caged Nut.

"Caged nut" is a common term, but they're also referred to sometimes as "floating nuts" or "captive nuts". In any of them, the design is used to permit some "slop", so that the mating fastener location doesn't have to be perfect.
