HOLD-TOGETHER ASSEMBLY AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240318683 titled 'HOLD-TOGETHER ASSEMBLY AND METHOD
The abstract of the patent application describes a hold-together assembly and method that involves securing a working part to a mounting part using a threaded member with a shaft portion, an optional washer, and at least one deformation to axially secure the working part to the shaft portion of the threaded member.
- The working part is secured to the mounting part using a threaded member with a shaft portion.
- An optional washer can be used to hold the threaded member relative to the working part.
- At least one deformation is formed in the optional washer or the working part to axially secure the working part to the shaft portion of the threaded member.
- The deformation inhibits axial movement between the working part and the threaded member while allowing relative rotation between the shaft portion of the threaded member and the working part.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for securing components in vehicles - Construction industry for fastening structural elements - Manufacturing industry for assembly of machinery and equipment
Problems Solved: - Prevents axial movement between components - Allows for relative rotation between components - Provides a secure hold-together assembly method
Benefits: - Increased stability and security of assembled parts - Facilitates easy disassembly and reassembly of components - Reduces the risk of parts coming loose or falling apart
Commercial Applications: Hold-together assemblies can be used in various industries such as automotive, construction, and manufacturing for securing components and structures effectively.
Questions about the hold-together assembly technology: 1. How does the deformation in the optional washer or working part secure the components together? 2. What are the advantages of using a hold-together assembly method in various industries?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in hold-together assembly methods and technologies to ensure the most efficient and effective assembly processes.
Original Abstract Submitted
a hold-together assembly and method includes a working part adapted to be secured to an associated mounting part, a threaded member having a shaft portion received through an aperture in the working part, an optional washer annularly received on the shaft portion of the threaded member for holding the threaded member relative to the working part and at least one deformation formed in the optional washer or the working part to axially secure the working part to the shaft portion of the threaded member for inhibiting axial movement between the working part and the threaded member while allowing relative rotation between the shaft portion of the threaded member and the working part.
