A capped fastener is provided with two outer flanges and a groove therebetween. The cap is crimped around the first outer flange without covering the second outer flange. The end of the cap is crimped in a groove between the first and second outer flanges. A crimping tool and method of crimping are also provided for crimping the end of a cap into a groove between two outer flanges.

A molding die structure for forming oblique teeth on a rivet nut includes a mold seat, a first forging die, a second forging die, and a retaining member. The mold seat is provided with a mold cavity and a threaded portion. The first forging die is inserted into the mold cavity and provided with a die cavity and a nut cavity. The second forging die is inserted into the die cavity and has an inner face provided with an oblique toothed portion and a guide hole. The oblique toothed portion includes a plurality of oblique teeth. The retaining member is screwed into the threaded portion and limits the first forging die and the second forging die in the mold cavity. The second forging die and the die cavity of the first forging die form a low friction contact.

A nut integrated with a bracket and a method of manufacturing the same is provided. The method includes a pre-drawing operation that forms a reference aperture and a processing cross section in the plate material supplied between the punch and the die, forming a beading portion and piercing a center of the beading portion. A forging operation forms a pipe portion having a tube shape and processes an exterior circumferential surface of the pipe portion. A precision forging process adjusts dimensions of the pipe portion formed in the tube shape, forms a protruding end that extends on a tip surface of the pipe portion and compresses the pipe portion to remove residual burrs on a surface. A post-processing operation cuts the processing cross section to a final product shape, and forms a threaded tap on an interior circumferential surface of the pipe portion.

A method of manufacturing a nut integrated with a bracket forms the nut formed integrally with the bracket or a slab base nut by using a plate material supplied between a punch and a die. The slab base nut includes a base plate and a boss extending from the base plate and including female-threads. The base plate and the boss are integrated into a single piece without welding trace.
