PRESS-FIT NUT FOR ASSEMBLY, PRESS-FIT NUT-BOLT ASSEMBLY, AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING STEEL-CONCRETE COMPOSITE STRUCTURE USING SAME
20220003259 · 2022-01-06 ·

The present invention relates to a press-fit nut for an assembly, a press-fit nut-bolt assembly, and a method of constructing a steel-concrete composite structure using same, wherein a process is simple and a base material does not become deformed during an installation process. The press-fit nut-bolt assembly of the present invention includes a press-fit nut, a stud bolt, a counter nut, and a washer. The press-fit nut includes: a head part formed in a typical nut shape; and a press-fitting part that is formed extending from one of the two surfaces of the head part so as to have an outer diameter less than that of the head part, and that is inserted, through press-fitting, into a base material (M) that is an object requiring fastening. A hollow having threads is continuously formed in the head part and the press-fitting part. The stud bolt includes a body part that is coupled to the press-fit nut by passing therethrough, and a pin tail which is formed extending from an end of the body part and to which a mechanism for rotating the body part is coupled. The body part includes a first threaded portion and a second threaded portion which are formed on the outer surface of the body part along the lengthwise direction of the body part and spaced apart from each other.

A disclosed tolerance compensator system reduces or avoids bending of components when the components are fastened to each other, thereby increasing the reliability of the components. The limited number of parts of the tolerance compensator system simplifies manufacturing and reduces costs. A disclosed method for fastening components together using the tolerance compensator system reduces or avoids bending of components, increases the reliability of the components, reduces fastening times, and simplifies fastening procedures.

Tank retro-fitting collar with square o-rings
20210324975 · 2021-10-21 ·

A collar for use on a water filtration tank adapter. The collar is formed as a ring adapted to thread onto the tank connection end of the adapter and abut the nut portion between the tank connection end and the pipe end of adapter. An o-ring, square in cross-section, is disposed on a top surface of the collar, offset medially towards the center. This top o-ring is adapted to abut the nut portion of the adapter. Another o-ring, square in cross-section, is disposed on the bottom surface, offset medially away from the center. This bottom o-ring is adapted to abut the tank head upon use. Accordingly, a water-tight seal is formed at the tank connection end and tank head, the collar functioning as both a positive stop and as a substitute for pipe tape.
