| 411366100 | Headed bolt or screw with threads and complementary nut | 85 |
| 20080260492 | Threaded fasteners with ribbed shanks - A metal bolt or cap screw fastener has a head, a shank of reduced cross section and a threaded portion, which fastener is configured to be manufactured using cold forming automatic bolt making machines of concurrent configuration. The reduced cross section shank provides additional elastic stretch and reduces stress throughout the fastener upon application of external joint parting loads, as compared to conventional fasteners with nominal diameter shanks. The inventive fastener has at least three straight longitudinal ribs along the length of the reduced cross section shank. The longitudinal ribs extend laterally outward from the surface of the shank a distance substantially corresponding to the fastener nominal diameter so as to center the fastener within round holes. During cold forming, the fastener shank diameter is made to the same or somewhat larger diameter than the not yet threaded part of the bolt. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20100172717 | ADVANCED NUT AND BOLT - A vibration resistant fastening system including a high fatigue strength bolt made from a first material and a nut made from a second material that is softer than the first material of the bolt. The bolt includes bolt threads and the nut includes pre-tapped nut threads that match with the bolt threads. The fastening system utilizes a combination of unique geometry of the nut and bolt threads and a hardness differential between the nut and bolt to provide vibration resistance. When tightened, crests of the bolt threads embed into the soft bearing flanks of the nut threads. Simultaneously with the bolt crest embedment, the softer nut thread crests flow radially inward into the root radius of the bolt threads. This complete contact between the nut and the bolt restricts the nut from moving in a transverse direction relative to a longitudinal axis of the bolt. | 07-08-2010 |

| 20110280683 | SCREW OR NUT WITH A THREAD A PITCH OF WHICH VARIES AND TOOL TO PRODUCE SAID SCREW OR NUT - The distribution of load stresses on threads engaged with a standard screw or nut is very unequal. Indeed, the first threads in engagement support a large majority of the load. So if the load is too important, the threads give way and the function is not provided any more by the screw or the nut. In the prior art, threads are known whose depth or pitch varies a lot in order to cause a self-clamping. In particular, the invention aims at optimizing the resistance and the fatigue resistance of the screws by distributing the load at the very best on their threads without causing this self-clamping. It was shown that the control of the pitch variation, within a chosen pitch tolerance, makes it possible to control the stress distribution on the threads. It is possible to determine a different variation for each load case encountered. | 11-17-2011 |
