摘要:
A fastening element and method that utilizes a fastener or stamping which is capable of forming a fastening assembly by engagement with a self-tapping fastener is disclosed. The fastening element includes one or more indentations formed within a portion of the circumference of an unthreaded bore located within the fastening element. Each indentation has an edge that can have the same helix angle or pitch as the self-tapping fastener that it is to engage to serve as a guide to properly align the fastener within the bore. The indentations also assist formation of mating threads within the element by significantly reducing the required end load to start the tapping process.

A fastener device comprising a nut, a threaded member for receiving the nut, and visual indicator means for visually indicating if the nut has become loose on the threaded member during use of the fastener device. The visual indicator means may comprise an indicator member which is mounted on the nut, biasing means which biases the indicator member to an indicating position in which the indicator member gives a visual indication that the nut has become loose, and at least one recess into which the indicator member is moved by the biasing means consequent upon the nut becoming loose, the indicator member then being in the indicating position.
摘要:
A gutter fastener (10) having a first shank portion (14) with a head (12a) integrally formed on one end and a second shank portion (16) integrally formed with the opposite end. The first shank portion has a length (L1) substantially equal to the water collecting opening in a gutter (20), while the second shank portion has a length (L2) substantially equal to one half the length of the first shank portion. The second shank portion includes screw-like threads (50) for engaging the facial panel (24) behind a gutter arid enabling a more secure connection between the two.
摘要:
A progressive (variable) pitch, interlocking thread with a tooth cross-section that is wider at its crest than at its root which creates radial clamping action when tightened into a tapped hole that has a similar thread cross-section.

A threaded fastener is having a raised area or bump on a thread flank. The flank can be positioned on the nut thread or on the bolt thread. The bump forces the mating threads at least on one flank to have near zero tolerances along the pitchline of the threads and thereby eliminating play. A threaded repair insert having at least one raised area on a threaded surface also is provided.

In a nut disengagement prevention structure, a bolt has an external thread. A nut which is thread on the bolt has an internal thread. A thread portion which is the closest to a leading end of the bolt has a first minor diameter. Any other portion of the thread of the bolt has a second minor diameter which is smaller than the first minor diameter. The second minor diameter is substantially identical with a minor diameter of the internal thread of the nut.
摘要:
A screw member having a loosening prevention function is provided to improve a fastening power and a relative strength in thread connection. With an arrangement to provide a first crest portion and a second crest portion at the opposite ends of a thread point, a first screw member generates a loosening prevention effect due to elastic deformation of the first crest portion and the second crest portion, with the entire thread flank from the base portion to the point brought into contact with a second screw member on the both surfaces of the thread flanks. With this arrangement, a strong fastening power can be obtained, and a clamping force applied to the thread is distributed over the thread, thereby enabling improvement in the relative strength in thread connection.
摘要:
Nut with positive and micrometric locking intended to be screwed on a shaft (1)(23)(60)(70) comprising a serrated part (2)(24)(59)(72) and locking segments (15)(37)(44)(75) having each one at least one tooth (19)(41)(58)(76), and which are intended to fix in rotation the nut (4)(26)(54)(73) on the shaft (1)(23)(60)(70), said locking segments (15)(37)(44)(75) being movable between a first locked position and a second unlocked position, the locking segments (15)(37)(44)(75) being constantly and independently radially stressed by a torical spring (21)(43)(45)(78).
