摘要： Expandable collet bodies with sectional finger-based anti-rotation features are disclosed. The collet body comprises not only a plurality of gripping finger as a first part of a two-part anti-rotation means (ARM), but also a first part of a two part translation arresting means (TAM), which may or may not be sectional in nature. The TAM prevents over translation of a collet body within the work piece(s), and cooperates with a second part of the TAM associated with a work piece or an auxiliary structure. In this manner, a collet body inserted into a work piece or auxiliary structure will not accidentally be pushed beyond the blind side of the work piece(s) during insertion or initial clamp-up.

摘要： A fastener assembly is provided. The fastener assembly comprises a clamping unit including two clamping legs each having a shank and a clamping foot extending therefrom and a splitter bar including two extensions and a shaft extending between the two clamping legs and radially expanding and retracting the clamping feet responsive to axially translation of the clamping unit. The fastener assembly further comprises a protective sleeve partially circumferentially surrounding at least a portion of the clamping leg shanks and the splitter bar, where the protective sleeve comprises two slots having the two extensions extending there through.

摘要： A fastener including a screw configured to threadingly engage a drive sleeve and method for fastener operation. The fastener, in one example, further includes a collet body with legs that extend from a crown, where each of the legs includes a clamping foot that extends therefrom and wherein each of the clamping feet mate with a sleeve opening in the drive sleeve. The fastener further includes a housing that mates with the drive sleeve such that rotation of the drive sleeve is prevented and vertical translation is permitted.

摘要： The present invention is directed to fasteners for use in associating, preferably compressively or closely in stacked fashion, at least two work pieces from a single side of one work piece wherein each work piece has a range of possible thicknesses, and consequently each work piece defines a bore or hole of variable length. Fastener embodiments of the invention comprise a collet body (20) and a cylinder body (280, 80) that are axially matable with each other over a range of displacements.

摘要： A fastener is provided herein. The fastener includes, in one example, a block fixedly coupled to an interior spindle and mated with a slot in a threaded retaining spindle as well as a drive nut is threadingly engaged with the threaded retaining spindle and an unthreaded collet is coupled to the threaded retaining spindle. The fastener further includes a body that circumferentially surrounds the block and the threaded retaining spindle and the block, body, and threaded retaining spindle of the fastener are configured to axially translate in relation to one another and are substantially prevented from rotation in relation to one another, during different stages of fastener operation.
