FASTENING COLLARS, MULTI-PIECE FASTENERS, AND METHODS FOR FASTENING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240026914 titled 'FASTENING COLLARS, MULTI-PIECE FASTENERS, AND METHODS FOR FASTENING

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure is about a fastening collar that consists of two collar ends and an elongate portion in between, defining a longitudinal axis. The elongate portion has a first region adjacent to the first collar end, a second region adjacent to the second collar end with a flange, and an inner collar surface that forms a collar cavity throughout the elongate portion.

  • The fastening collar has a unique design with two collar ends and an elongate portion.
  • The elongate portion has a first region and a second region with a flange.
  • The inner collar surface forms a collar cavity throughout the elongate portion.
  • The second collar end extends away from the longitudinal axis at a first angle offset from a perpendicular angle.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Fastening collars can be used in various industries such as automotive, construction, and manufacturing.
  • They can be used to secure and fasten different components together.
  • The unique design of the fastening collar allows for easy installation and removal.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Traditional fastening methods may be time-consuming and require specialized tools.
  • The fastening collar provides a simpler and more efficient way to secure components.
  • The flange on the second region helps prevent loosening or disconnection of the collar.

Benefits of this technology:

  • The fastening collar offers a secure and reliable connection between components.
  • It can be easily installed and removed without the need for specialized tools.
  • The design of the collar cavity allows for flexibility in accommodating different sizes and shapes of components.


Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure relates to fastening collars, multi-piece fasteners, and methods for fastening. a fastening collar comprises a first collar end, a second collar end, and an elongate portion intermediate the first collar end and the second collar end and defining a longitudinal axis of the fastening collar. the elongate portion comprises a first region adjacent the first collar end, extending a first distance along the longitudinal axis; a second region adjacent to the second collar end, extending a second distance along the longitudinal axis, and comprising a flange; and an inner collar surface defining collar cavity extending through the elongate portion from the first collar end to the second collar end. the second collar end extends away from the longitudinal axis of the elongate portion at a first angle offset from an angle perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the elongate portion.
