A blind fastener may include a bolt. The bolt includes a head, a shank coupled to the head, and a number of external threads formed on the shank. The blind fastener may also include a mount coupled to the bolt, and a fastening block coupled to the mount. The mount may include a body, at least one arm extending from the body, and at least one pivot mount formed on and extending from the arm about which the fastening block pivots.

A tool for manipulating flexible and non-flexible fastening devices. The tool assembly has a flexible rod for insertion into the distal end of the fastening device. A handle assembly interacts with proximal end of the flexible rod and the proximal end of the fastening device to control of the fastening device by initiating rotation at the distal end of the fastening device.

A hook mounting system of a unibody structure with three platforms that face an angled hole. The hook system includes nails adapted to be particularly suitable for mounting the hook and platform deformable inserts to receive the nails. The system is adapted for a rod hanging assembly. The system includes a nail having a non-circular shank portion and a knurled head.

A fastener assembly may be configured to mount structures in a gas turbine engine. The fastener assembly may comprise a fastener and a leak resistant insert. The leak resistant insert may be configured to at least partially reduce fluid leakage between the coupling of the fastener and the leak resistant insert. The leak resistant insert may comprise an outer surface opposite an inner threaded surface. The inner threaded surface may define an insert opening through leak resistant fastener insert, configured to receive the fastener. The outer surface may define an insert end enclosing the inner threaded surface opposite the insert opening.

A fastening system is disclosed. The fastening system may have a washer and a cap. The cap may attach to the washer to protect a bolt and/or a nut disposed at least partially inside a cavity of the cap. The cap may be at least partially conical. The cap may include a channel to receive a sealant to ameliorate leakage.

A handle assembly is provided with a handle sized to be grasped manually with a slot formed along a length. A first plurality of fasteners is provided, each with a shank and a head sized to be received in the slot to fasten the handle to a drawer or a door at various fastener mounting patterns. A method to install a handle assembly inserts a shank of at least one fastener through an aperture in a drawer or a door. A handle is provided that is sized to be grasped manually with a slot formed along a length. The slot of the handle is slid along a head of the at least one fastener. The at least one fastener is tightened.

A hook mounting system of a unibody structure with three platforms that face an angled hole. The hook system includes nails adapted to be particularly suitable for mounting the hook and platform deformable inserts to receive the nails. The system is adapted for a rod hanging assembly. The system includes a nail having a non-circular shank portion and a knurled head.

A driver for inserting and removing flexible and non-flexible fastening devices. The driver has an attachment for interfacing with the proximal end of the device and a flexible driver rod for interfacing with the distal end of the device. Alternatively, the flexible driver rod can interface with both the distal and proximal ends of the fastening device. The driver further interfaces with a guide wire or other means that connect with the interior of the device.

A cultivator for an agricultural soil processing machine, which includes a base part which has a cutting element on a cutter support. The base part has at least one screw receiving area for securing to a support, in particular a tine of the agricultural soil processing machine. The screw receiving area is designed as a blind hole with an inner thread and is recessed into a cultivator support surface aligned opposite the tool advancing direction of the cultivator, or the screw receiving area is designed as a through-bore with an inner thread and is covered by at least one wear protection element in the tool advancing direction.

The present disclosure relates to a blind nut, a fastening arrangement and further to a method of fastening. The blind nut includes a cylindrical outer surface portion provided with one or more sealing elements. The sealing elements of the blind nut may seal against a cylindrical inner surface of a nut space inside which the blind nut is configured to penetrate when being tightened.
