Terminology question - threaded boss
Terminology question - threaded boss
(OP)
This is a terminology question. See attached. This is a threaded piece with a rounded upper surface which can be threaded in and out of the plate shown. The plate is the base of a larger structure. There are four of these threaded pieces, which allow the angle of the base to be slightly adjustable. What would you call the threaded piece? One of my coworkers called it a "threaded boss", which was terminology I am not familiar with. Any ideas? I know this is a pretty trivial question, but humor me :)

The boss would be milled flat (optional, I guess) and then drilled and tapped.
This is an example showing typical "threaded bosses" in my opinion.
There are 8 "threaded bosses" in this picture. Each one is an inch or so directly below an assembled valve/spring

Then a threaded component (rocker stud in this case) is wound into the "thraded boss"
