I call them spring steel U nuts or clip on floating nuts. Not sure if that's the official name but it'll usually get you what you want if you ask for them.

Do yourself a huge favor and go to McMaster Karrs website, harder to find everything online but a quick look threw their caralog and you'll be amazed at the selection and prices. I bought all of my hardware including those j nuts, very good source.
