Appl. No.:

8/986425

Inventors:

Arne Henriksen - Hawthorn Woods IL

Assignee:

Seventy-Five and Associates, Ltd. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

F16B 302
F16B 4300

US Classification:

411 11

Abstract:

A self-tensioning, disc spring assembly is provided. The assembly has a circular disc spring with an outer diameter and an inner diameter defining a center hole. The disc spring has a height greater at the inner diameter than at the outer diameter. The disc spring is also resiliently compressible such that it can be flattened. A zinc element, being zinc or a zinc alloy, is provided in the form of a ring or other shape, or a surface deposit on the disc spring or nut, to prevent rusting of the lug bolt. In addition a method of fastening a rim to a hub is also provided. The method has the steps of: positioning the rim on the hub so that the at least one lug bolt passes through the at least one mounting hole of the rim; providing a tensioning disc spring assembly on the at least one lug bolt; screwing a nut onto the at least one lug bolt to a preselected torque so that the disc spring flattens when a preselected torque amount is achieved.

International Classification:

F16B 2100
F16B 3500
F16B 3704

US Classification:

411366

Abstract:

A fastener assembly including a first fastener member adapted to be inserted into a first structural component. The first fastener member includes a head portion and a generally cylindrical shank portion extending from the head portion. The fastener assembly also includes a second fastener member having a head portion and a shank portion extending therefrom. The first and second fastener members include respective internally and externally threaded portions that interengage to secure the fastener members together. One of the fastener members is provided with anti-rotation structure that prevents rotational movement of the fastener members with respect to the structural components, while permitting non-destructive axial removal of the fastener members from the structural components. In a preferred embodiment, the anti-rotational structure is provided as a plurality of longitudinal ridges disposed on an outer surface of the shank portion of one of the fastener members. The longitudinal ridges extend along the shank portion in a direction generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the shank portion.

Appl. No.:

7/989996

Inventors:

Arne Henriksen - Hoffman Estates IL

International Classification:

F16B 3704

US Classification:

411180

Abstract:

A fastener assembly to be used in the construction of semi-trailers consisting of a first fastener having a head and a shank, a mating second fastener, and a plurality of radially spaced projecting barbs formed on the shank. The barbs, which may also be spaced axially on the shank, engage in a hole for receiving the first fastener to prevent rotation and removal of the first fastener. The first fastener may also be provided with an encapsulating cover with two sealing points on its underside to seal the fastener to a surface through which the fastener is inserted.

International Classification:

F16C 11/06

Abstract:

An adjustable ball joint with a locking member and a retaining cap. The locking member is rotationally fixed relative to the housing, and the retaining cap and locking member and configured to be rotationally fixed relative to each other. The retaining cap may include a protrusion that engages a detent in the housing that prevents rotation of the locking member. The housing may include multiple detents to allow for the locking member to have multiple configurations. Threaded fasteners may secure the locking member to the retaining cap.
