Abstract:
The self-locking collar comprises a sleeve having a thick wall portion and a thin wall portion which has a thinner wall than the thick wall portion and a step portion between the thick wall portion and the thin wall portion; and a flange adjacent the thick wall portion of the sleeve. A through hole penetrates through the flange and the sleeve. The sleeve is inserted into a mounting hole of a resin component, the thin wall portion is collapsed to form a collapsed portion, and the resin component is sandwiched between the flange and the collapsed portion. The outer diameter of the thin wall portion is D, the wall thickness is t, the length is L, the Poisson ratio is γ, and: r = ( D - t ) / 2 ; m = L π 4 r 2 t 2 12 ( 1 - γ 2 ) ; and 1.2

Abstract:
The nut is usually fixed by the axial force generated with the bolt fastening. However, the loosening force, which is larger than the axial stress, acts on the nut by the repetitive vibration or shock, whereby the loosening phenomenon of the nut generates. So it is necessary to prevent the loosening, the present invention threads an outer screw as the direction of an inner screw of the nut on an outer periphery of the flange or the shank of nut and screws together an lock nut with the flange or the shank. In doing so, it is possible to constantly prevent the loosening of the nut.
Abstract:
In order to improve a securing nut comprising a base member which is provided around its circumference with a key face contour, a threaded bolt receptacle which is provided with an internal thread and passes through the base member in the direction of a central axis as well as at least one clamping element which is provided on the base member, in such a manner that it is, on the one hand, simple to produce and, on the other hand, allows reliable clamping without damaging the threaded bolt it is suggested that the clamping element be a collar which is arranged on one side of the base member and in which the internal thread is continued, and that the collar extend around the threaded bolt receptacle in an essentially closed manner in circumferential direction with respect to the central axis.
Abstract:
A fastening method for fastening a nut to a bolt by screwing includes preparing a nut including a tool mounting portion formed on a seat surface, and an annular thin portion formed on the tool mounting portion opposite to the seat surface, swaging a plurality of places of the thin portion with punches from an outer circumferential direction, and flowing a thickness of the thin portion so as to extend to a front end of the bolt partially in a circumferential direction to be closely adhered to a screw portion of the bolt.
Abstract:
A swage collar and an internal sealing insert form a swage collar assembly used in combination with a structural fastener to prevent leakage through a connection of workpieces fastened together by the structural fastener. The swage collar has a hollow, generally cylindrical main body portion with a main central bore, and a base portion with an internal shoulder formed in the main central bore so as to form a seal receiving guide. The shaft of the fastener typically includes a threaded section and an unthreaded section, and the internal sealing insert interfaces with the threaded section and the unthreaded section of the shaft of the pin. In an alternate embodiment, the internal sealing insert interfaces with the unthreaded section of shaft of the pin. The swage collar assembly is fitted over the fastener, a swaging tool is fitted over the swage collar assembly, and the swaging tool is forced over the swage collar assembly with sufficient force to cause plastic deformation in the swaging collar to force the swaging collar and internal sealing insert into engagement with the shaft of the fastener.
Abstract:
A fastener adapted to pass through aligned holes through workpieces is disclosed. The fastener includes a pin member having a transition portion wherein the diameter of the transition portion decreases radially as it extends from the smooth cylindrical shank portion to the threaded portion. The fastener may also comprise a sleeve member and a clamping means. The clamping means includes a collar, a nut, or any other possible clamping means. In exemplary embodiments, the workpieces can be formed with a plurality of materials, the materials including composite, metallic, or composite/metallic structures, any combination thereof. In particular embodiments, the fastener has interference capability of 0.0005 to 0.0100 inches in composite structures without risk of composite delamination or damage. As a result of the fastener interference, gaps between the fastener and the structure are eliminated thereby providing good electrical conductivity between components. As a result, the potential for electrical sparks is reduced, providing a safer fastener for use with aerospace applications

Abstract:
A method facilitates assembling a gas turbine engine assembly including at least a first member and a second member. The method comprises inserting a threaded fastener through an opening formed in a flange, and providing at least one shank nut including a flanged mating end, an opposite non-mating end, and a body extending therebetween. The body includes an internal surface, an external surface, and a centerline extending between the body ends. The flanged mating end includes a substantially planar exterior surface that is aligned perpendicularly to the centerline and an annular groove that extends from the exterior surface at least partially towards the non-mating end. The method also comprises securing the assembly together such that the mating end is positioned flush against the flange and such that the threaded fastener extends at least partially into a bore extending through the shank nut and defined by the shank nut internal surface.
Abstract:
A captive fastener assembly for non-releasable securement to a subassembly formed at least in part of a soft, ductile material and for operatively connecting such subassemblies to other members. A retainer cup has a set of projecting undercuts on its sidewall for grasping the ductile material of the subassembly through welding to prevent the captive fastener from being pulled out or away from the subassembly. A fastener member is journalled through an opening in the retainer cup to secure the subassembly to the other member, thereby forming an integral structure that resists loosening or falling apart. The captive fasteners of the present invention are simple and economical to manufacture and greatly increase the structural integrity and safety of structures that utilize them.
Abstract:
A safety joint for a threaded fitting, such as a valve. A deformable lip is formed on one end of the fitting around an adapter threaded into the respective end of the fitting. The lip is deformed against the wrench flats on the adapter to lock the adapter to the fitting.
