What is the proper name for the type of fastener that is commonly used with sheet metal screws in applications where a nut and bolt can't be used. they ware always made of spring steel and can be flat or slightly curved with different sizes for different size screws and applications, I loked at McMaster-Carr but didn't really know what to call them. Thanks.

I think that is what he is looking for, also commonly sold as speed nuts or push nuts:
