I'm sure you mean socket head????
Decker gave the links.

Those ones appear to screw into a threaded frame, I was under the impression they came in a male/female set like pivot pins that screwed into each other. Is this the case?

Ahhh...socket-cap sex bolts. I'm not sure if "sex bolts" is the proper name, but that's what I've always heard them called.
