EXPANSION BOLT AND PIVOT AND SWIVEL MECHANISM THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025705 titled 'EXPANSION BOLT AND PIVOT AND SWIVEL MECHANISM THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an expansion bolt that is made of a single piece of material and includes a housing member, elongate elastic members, a central shaft member, and a biasing member. The elongate elastic members extend from the base of the housing member and terminate in spoons, with a cavity formed by the spoons for receiving the wedge member. The elongate elastic members are designed to bend outwardly when the wedge member moves into the cavity, and the biasing member biases the shaft member in the direction of increasing relative translation.

  • The expansion bolt is made of a single piece of material, simplifying its construction and assembly.
  • The elongate elastic members are thinner than the base and spoons, allowing for flexibility and bending.
  • The central shaft member terminates in a wedge member, which fits into the cavity formed by the spoons.
  • The elongate elastic members bend outwardly when the wedge member moves into the cavity, providing expansion.
  • The biasing member ensures that the shaft member is biased in the direction of increasing relative translation.

Potential Applications:

  • Construction industry: The expansion bolt can be used for securing objects to concrete or other materials.
  • Manufacturing: The bolt can be used in the assembly of various products that require secure fastening.

Problems Solved:

  • Simplified construction: The single-piece design eliminates the need for multiple components and simplifies assembly.
  • Flexibility and expansion: The elongate elastic members allow for bending and expansion, providing a secure and adjustable fastening solution.

Benefits:

  • Easy installation: The single-piece design and flexibility of the elongate elastic members make the expansion bolt easy to install.
  • Secure fastening: The expansion capability of the bolt ensures a tight and secure connection.
  • Adjustable: The bolt allows for adjustment and fine-tuning of the fastening, accommodating different requirements.


Original Abstract Submitted

an expansion bolt including a housing member integrally formed as a single piece of material, the housing member having a base, a plurality of elongate elastic members extending distally from the base, the elongate elastic members distally terminating in respective spoons, and the elongate elastic members having thicknesses that are substantially less than thicknesses of the base and the spoons, a central shaft member extending through the housing member and terminating in a wedge member, the spoons defining a cavity for receiving the wedge member, the elongate elastic members structured to bend outwardly in response to the wedge member moving into the cavity, and a biasing member for biasing the shaft member relative to the housing member in the direction of said increasing relative translation.
