| 20110182689 | Blind Fastener System - A fastener system attaches a structural member to a workpiece, the structural member and workpiece each having an aperture for insertion of the fastener system. The fastener system has a nut member having a threaded axial opening, a stud member having threads which mate with the threads of the nut member, and a collet member which is retained on the end of the stud member. The collet member has an unexpanded diameter smaller than the diameter of the aperture in the workpiece so the collet member may be inserted completely through the workpiece. Once on the opposite side of the workpiece, rotation of the stud member with respect to the nut member, achieved either by rotation of the stud member while preventing rotation of the nut member or vice-versa, causes the collet member to expand to a diameter larger than the diameter of the aperture in the workpiece. Further rotation of stud member with respect to the nut member increases the clamp-up load of the anchor, thus anchoring the structural member to the workpiece. Rotation of the stud member with respect to the nut member in the opposite direction causes the collet member to return to its unexpanded diameter, allowing removal of the collet member from the workpiece. | 07-28-2011 |
