20160375563 | APPARATUS FOR TIGHTENING THREADED FASTENERS - The present invention seeks to protect Applicant's HYTORC Z System which involves: tools having multi-speed/multi-torque modes with torque multiplication and vibration mechanisms without use of external reaction abutments; a force transfer means to yield in-line co-axial action and reaction for use with such tools; driving means and shitting means capable of attaching to washers under the nut for use with such tools and force transfer means; associated washers for use with such tools, force transfer means and driving means; and related accessories for use with such tools, force transfer means, driving means and washers. HYTORC® Z® Washers located under nuts or bolt heads of various types having engageable perimeters of multiple shapes, sizes, geometries and serrations, such as washer/fastener radius engagement differentials, and frictionally biased faces with relatively higher friction against the flange surface and relatively lower friction against the nut, such as friction coefficient increasing treatment means of various types, sizes and locations. HYTORC® Z® Guns incorporating a powerful impact mechanism and a precise torque multiplier in the same tool combining rapid run-down with calibrated torque. HYTORC® Z® Sockets with dual drive coaxial action and reaction having outer sleeves to react on Z® Washers and an inner sleeves to turn nuts or boll heads. HYTORC® Z® Spline Adapters and Reaction Plates for backwards compatibility with HYTORC®'s torque/tension systems including the AVANTI® square drive system, the STEALTH® limited clearance system, the pneumatic jGUN® series, the FLASH® Gun electric multiplier and more. HYTORC® Z® Washer and HYTORC® Friction Washer™ combination including a dual friction-enhanced face washer for counter-torque under a nut or bolt head on the other side of the joint; and HYTORC® Z® Dual Drive Offset Links for light clearances while using HYTORC®'s torque/tension systems. | 2016-12-29 |
