Installation system for a box profile (100) for a motor vehicle, wherein the installation system (1) has: —at least one carrier strip (10), which can be pushed into the box profile (100), —at least one nut element (20) for prepositioning on the carrier strip (10), wherein the nut element (20) is designed to be prepositioned in a releasable manner on the carrier strip (10), and the installation system (1) has a positioning strip (30), which can be displaced relative to the carrier strip (10) and is designed to arrange the at least one nut element (20), in the state in which the latter has been prepositioned on the carrier strip (10), on an opening (102) of the box profile (100). Installation method. Nut element.

Apparatuses and methods for facilitating fastening of a fastener are provided. In one example, the apparatus includes a body portion that extends distally from a body proximal portion to a body distal portion. A head portion extends distally from the body distal portion. A first prong that extends distally from a first prong proximal section that has a first thickness to a first prong distal section that has a second thickness that is less than the first thickness. A second prong that extends distally from a second prong proximal section that has a third thickness to a second prong distal section that has a fourth thickness that is less than the third thickness. The second prong is spaced apart from the first prong to define a gap therebetween that is configured to receive the fastener.

The present disclosure relates to a tool and, more particularly, to cup height adjustment tool and method of use. The tool includes: a first wrench comprising a handle, a shank portion and an opening extending through the handle and the shank portion; and a second wrench having a handle and a shank portion, the shank portion of the second wrench extending through the opening of the first wrench such that a tip of the shank portion of the second wrench extends beyond the shank portion of the first wrench.

A power turbine rotor locking assembly including a rotor shaft. The assembly also includes an aft rotor stage surrounding the rotor shaft. The assembly further includes a locknut torqued to the rotor shaft. The assembly yet further includes a plurality of torque resistance features located on an aft side of the aft rotor stage. The assembly also includes a tooling fixture having a plurality of corresponding torque resistance features, the corresponding torque resistance features selectively engageable with the torque resistance features of the aft rotor stage to resist circumferential movement during assembly and disassembly of the locknut with the rotor shaft.

A pre-assembled female mould arrangement for being installed on a moulding machine, the pre-assembled female mould arrangement comprising: an annular forming element, extending about an axis and delimiting a forming cavity about said axis; a plate element, which delimits the forming cavity transversely to said axis; a peripheral annular component that surrounds at least partially the annular forming element; a supporting base;
a fastening element which is so mounted as to render the annular forming element fixed relative to the plate element.

A fastener holding spanner comprises a spanner head defining an aperture capable of engaging during use with a correspondingly-sized nut or bolt head of a fastener, with a clearance there-between, and at least one arm extending from the spanner head. During use of the spanner one of the at least one arms is capable of engaging with an abutment surface adjacent to a nut or bolt head of a fastener engaged by the spanner head upon rotation of the nut or bolt head under applied torque. The aperture comprises a plurality of internal faces, at least two of which are engaging faces. The engaging faces are substantially flat and are arranged to engage with flat faces of a nut or bolt head engaged by the spanner during use. At least one of the internal faces of the aperture is non-engaging with the nut or bolt head during use, the at least one non-engaging face located in between the at least two engaging faces. The aperture further comprises at least one through passage penetrating at least one of the internal faces, the at least one through passage having a longitudinal axis and being at least partially threaded over at least part of its length. In use a threaded member having a flat end may be screwed into the at least one passage, the flat end of the threaded member to contact under pressure a face of a nut or bolt head engaged by the spanner to prevent relative rotation between the spanner and the nut or bolt head. At least two engaging faces of the aperture are distal from the threaded member and located on opposing sides of the longitudinal axis of the at least one through passage.

A method for assembling a female mould on a moulding machine, comprises the steps of: providing a pre-assembled female mould arrangement, the pre-assembled female mould arrangement comprising a plurality of components including at least a base, a forming device having a forming cavity and a fastening element which renders the forming device fixed relative to the base; placing the pre-assembled female mould arrangement on a support of the moulding machine; fixing the pre-assembled female mould arrangement to the support.

A tool and system for loosening or removing a torque resistant threaded fastener assembly. The system can be used with a bench receiver or vehicle mounted receiver and can be used to loosen “frozen” threaded fastener assemblies. The orientation of the components enables a user to place sufficient torque on a “frozen” threaded fastener. In this way the system enables the user to remove or disassemble a corroded combination (e.g.) a corroded or rusted nut and bolt.

A torque retaining device for preventing unitary rotation of a nut and a fastener extending through two parts to be connected is provided. The torque retaining device includes an engagement portion for connection to one of the nut and a fastener head and an elongated portion for rotationally catching on one of the parts that the fastener is to be extended through. The engagement portion includes a wall having an inner side that defines a cavity for placement of the fastener head or nut and is shaped rotate with the fastener head or nut. At least one flexible member extends radially inwardly from the inner side of the wall for holding the fastener head or nut in the engagement portion.

A method and fastening device for use in heavy duty machinery for fastening a lining element to a surface of a body steel plate is disclosed. An assembly, a truck and a handling tool utilizing the method and fastening device is also disclosed.
