Abstract: A process and apparatus are provided for the application of a fluoropolymer coating to the threads of an internally threaded fastener. The fastener has a body and a threaded bore extending to opposing ends of the body to define opposing first and second openings in the fastener. The fastener is moved on a conveyor along a path of travel with its threaded bore in a predetermined orientation. As the fastener moves along its path of travel, the first opening is closed by means of an obstructing member, while an air stream carrying entrained fluoropolymer powder is directed from a nozzle through the second opening and into the threaded bore. The nozzle is stationary and is located at an axially displaced position relative to the second opening of the fastener and immediately adjacent the conveyor. Preferably, the nozzle includes a diffuser which directs the air stream and entrained fluoropolymer powder into the fastener bore in a diverging pattern. After the fluoropolymer powder is deposited onto the threads of the fastener, the conveyor moves the fastener through a heating station where the fluoropolymer powder is raised to its melting temperature causing it to melt and fuse into a generally continuous film covering the fastener's threads.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for applying locking material to an area of a fastener adapted for internal threading. The apparatus includes a support structure for moving a succession of internally threadable fasteners with support structure recesses positioning the fasteners for treatment. The fastener opening is filled with locking material and the fastener heated to soften the locking material and cause adherence to the internal walls of the fastener. A clearance pin can be used to selectively clear a passageway through the locking material either before or after the heating step. A gas pressure source directs a gas stream toward the opening of the fastener to form a passageway through the locking material attached to the fastener.

Abstract: An apparatus for applying a coating to the head-shank junction of externally threaded fasteners in an automated fashion. The fasteners are positioned, head down, on rotating part holders positioned about the periphery of a rotating disc. The part holders may be magnetic or other forms, and are adapted to maintain the fasteners in a generally fixed position during their movement. The fasteners are pre-heated at a heating station during their rotational movement on the disc. A dispenser is then used to apply the coating to the articles, in timed sequence to the movement of the articles. In this fashion, a coating can be applied to selected portions of the entire periphery of the head-shank junction. A method for applying a coating to the head-shank junction of externally threaded fasteners in an automated fashion also forms part of the present invention.
