    摘要: A cap system for enclosing a metallic fastener assembly extending through a structure, which includes a first securement mechanism positioned about a periphery of a washer of the metallic fastener assembly wherein the first securement mechanism includes a first tab member extending in a direction transverse to a plane of a surface of the washer and a second tab member extending in a direction transverse to the plane of the surface of the washer spaced apart from the first tab member about the periphery of the washer. Cap system further includes a cap member which includes a sidewall having an inner surface which defines a cavity dimensioned to receive the washer and defines a second securement mechanism complementary configured to engage the first securement mechanism; and an end of the sidewall of the cap member defines an opening which provides the washer to have access into the cavity.

    摘要: A fastener assembly includes a first lock member including a plurality of radially extending ratchet teeth and a second lock member including a base portion and at least one tab extending axially from the base portion. The at least one tab has a proximal end joined to the base portion and a free end opposite the proximal end. The second lock member further includes a plurality of radially extending teeth on an inner side of the free end of the at least one tab. The second lock member is positionable between a locked configuration in which the plurality of radially extending teeth are configured to engage the plurality of radially extending ratchet teeth and an unlocked configuration in which the plurality of radially extending teeth are spaced from the plurality of radially extending ratchet teeth. The base portion and the at least one tab are a single piece.

    摘要: A multifunctional fastener is provided which is easy to install and combines a screw, and a washer and/or a wing assembly. The multifunctional fastener may include a fastener head. A threaded portion may extend longitudinally and distally of the fastener head. A fastener washer may be disposed between the fastener head and the threaded portion, and may extend radially outward of the fastener head. The wing assembly may include at least one fastener wing extending radially outward from the fastener head, and preferably radially outward of the fastener washer. A torque-applying tool connector may be provided in the fastener head. The torque-applying tool connector may be configured for engagement with a torque-applying tool such as a manual screwdriver or electric drill screwdriver to facilitate rotation of the threaded portion via the fastener head.

    摘要: A variable flow rate valve mechanism includes a valve, a lock member, a valve attachment member and a spring washer. The valve includes a valve body and a valve shaft. The lock member is fixed to the valve shaft. The valve attachment member is attached to the valve shaft. The spring washer is disposed adjacent the valve attachment member. The spring washer is formed into an annular shape around an axis of the spring washer. The spring washer includes a support portion, a deformable portion and a protrusion portion. The support portion includes a seat surface and an open surface. The deformable portion is connected to the support portion and extends in an inclined manner. The deformable portion includes a contact surface and an opposite surface. The protrusion portion protrudes from at least one of the open surface of the support portion and the opposite surface of the deformable portion.

    摘要: The disclosure relates to an anti-loosing bolt component capable of presetting torque and controlling disassembly, including: a nut, a bolt and a tab washer that match each other. The nut is provided with a ratchet structure, the bolt is provided with an axial groove, and the tab washer is provided with a elastic pawl matched with the ratchet structure, and a horizontal protrusion provided with a prefabricated notch and matched with the axial groove. The ratchet structure adopts a matching mode that the difference between the number of ratchets and the number of the elastic pawls is 1, so that the nut can be engaged by a very small rotation angle. The preset torque of the prefabricated notch can be set according to a safety factor. The bolt component can be accurately prevented from loosening.

    摘要: A reaction washer is optimized for lock-on, optional stiction ring and for a predetermined indentation depth of bidirectional serrations for secure reaction torque transfer during initial and full actuation of respective nut or bolt heads resting on it. An optional lock-on ring embedded around the reaction socket is ergonomically actuated to latch on and off underneath the reaction washer. Axial offset of the peak stress areas away from the actuation socket edges provides for reduced actuation socket diameter and consequently for the entire tool and system remaining substantially within radial assembly limits established for prior art actuation sockets alone. A coupling unit is attached to and tightened on a power torque wrench via a clamp tool utilizing the power wrench's own torque. A hand hold groove and a lock able snap release button offset from the coupling castle snap connection contribute to safe and ergonomic operation and system peak performance.

    摘要: A washer includes a first washer piece formed in a circular arc shape and formed with a first fitting portion that protrudes from one end in a circular arc direction; and a fourth washer piece formed with a second fitting portion that is recessed from one end in the circular arc direction and fitted with the first fitting portion. The first fitting portion and the second fitting portion are fitted in a state where approach and separation therebetween in the circular arc direction is controlled. One of the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion includes a crimped portion that is formed in a state where a side surface of the one of the fitting portions is pushed into a side surface of the other of the fitting portions, the one of the fitting portions being fixed to the other of the fitting portions by the crimped portion.
