Abstract: A sealable fastener for insertion into an fastener opening in a receiving structure includes a fastener shank with a shank first end having a shank first end wall and a shank second end having a shank second end wall, a shank side wall extending between the shank first end wall and the shank second end wall and a circumferential channel recessed into the shank side wall; and a sealant delivery groove in the shank side wall having a delivery groove entry port in the shank second end and extending to a delivery groove exit port opening into the circumferential channel; so that a flowable sealant placed in the fastener opening is drivable into the sealant delivery groove and around the circumferential channel as the fastener shank is inserted into th fastener opening, creating a circumferential seal between the fastener shank and the receiving structure fastener opening.

Abstract: A substantially cylindrical washer having two arch-shaped channels 7, on a face on the bore hole side of the washer, wherein said channels connect an opening 2 with a through passage 3. The opening 2 is configured for the passage of an anchor rod and the through passage 3 is configured for filling a mortar mass into the bore hole. The channels 7 open relative to the bore hole and include a substantially semi-circular cross-section to assure the high tensile strength of the washer.

Abstract: A sealable fastener for insertion into a fastener opening bore in a receiving structure includes a fastener shank including a shank first end having a shank first end wall and a shank second end having a shank second end wall, a shank side wall extend between the shank first end wall and the shank second end wall and a circumferential channel recessed into the shank side wall; and a sealant delivery passageway having a passageway entry port in the shank first end and extending to a passageway exit port opening into the circumferential channel; so that a flowable sealant injected into the passageway entry port flows through the sealant delivery passageway and exits through the passageway exit port and flows into and around the circumferential channel, creating a circumferential seal between the fastener shank and the fastener opening in the receiving structure.

Abstract: A seal structure between a first member that has a recessed section and a second member that has a protruding section on its rear surface and is provided on its front surface with an elastomer covering layer so that the protruding section is inserted into the recessed section. The second member is provided with a through-hole that passes through the second member and is formed in positions located at a circumferential edge of the protruding section of the second member. The second member is further provided with a tubular covering layer of an elastomer, the tubular covering layer being formed on the outer circumference of the protruding section so that the tubular cover layer is continuous of the covering formed on the front surface of the second member via the through-hole.

Abstract: A concrete anchor bolt formed of an axially extending fixing member (1) having a first axially extending section (5) fixable in a tapped blind borehole (3) in a first solid body (4) secured by a temporarily fluid fixing agent (2) and an axially protruding second axially extending section (7) embeddable in a subsequently settable second solid body (6), wherein a conically shaped section sleeve (8) is present on the second section (7).

Abstract: A sealable fastener for insertion into a fastener opening bore in a receiving structure includes a fastener shank including a shank first end having a shank first end wall and a shank second end having a shank second end wall, a shank side wall extend between the shank first end wall and the shank second end wall and a circumferential channel recessed into the shank side wall; and a sealant delivery passageway having a passageway entry port in the shank first end and extending to a passageway exit port opening into the circumferential channel; so that a flowable sealant injected into the passageway entry port flows through the sealant delivery passageway and exits through the passageway exit port and flows into and around the circumferential channel, creating a circumferential seal between the fastener shank and the fastener opening in the receiving structure.

Abstract: A pin for Z-pinning at least two composite material layers to each other which comprises generally circular first and second ends of first and second diameters, respectively. Extending between the first and second ends is a central portion defining at least two radially extending flange sections which are each of a diameter exceeding the larger of the first and second diameters. In an alternative embodiment, the pin comprises generally circular first and second ends which are of first and second diameters, respectively. Extending between the first and second ends in the second embodiment is a central portion defining a generally hyperboloidal outer surface having a maximum diameter which does not exceed the smaller of the first and second diameters.

Abstract: A fastening element including a cylindrical body (1) having, in its end portion remote from an end facing in a setting direction, a longitudinal bore (22) for receiving a mortar mass, and having, at it end facing in the setting direction, at least one through-opening (5) connecting the longitudinal bore (22) with an outer surface of the body (1), and a mixing device (8) located in the longitudinal bore (22) between the mortar mass and the through-opening (5).

Abstract: An adhesive anchor system having a ribbed anchor member with a threaded opening therein, a tube member having a first end portion connected to an end of the anchor member in alignment with the opening thereof, and a cap covering the opening at another opposite end of the anchor member. In some embodiments the tube member includes measurement indicia thereon for accurate depth placement, and may include a severable portion protruding beyond the work surface and/or a removable tube cover to prevent contamination of the threaded opening of the anchor member.

Abstract: An electrically insulated anchor device is described, comprising a rigid elongated metal sleeve including an external surface that leads from an open top end to a bottom end. A longitudinal internal bore is formed within the sleeve with a bore wall spaced from the external surface by a sleeve wall thickness dimension. An electrically insulative polymer insert with an external surface engages the bore wall within the sleeve. The insert further includes a fastener receiving bore defined by a fastener receiving wall spaced from the external insert surface by an insert wall thickness dimension. The sleeve wall thickness dimension is substantially greater than the insert wall thickness dimension.

Abstract: A honeycomb panel fixing device includes a honeycomb panel having a through-hole formed through a honeycomb core thereof in its thickness direction, a bushing inserted into the through-hole, and a fixing bolt for fixing the honeycomb panel to a target object by the bushing. The bushing includes a first cylindrical member inserted into the through-hole from the front of the honeycomb panel and having a first hole at a bottom thereof, the fixing bolt being inserted into the first hole, a second cylindrical member inserted into the through-hole from behind the honeycomb panel and having a second hole at a bottom thereof, the fixing bolt being inserted into the second hole, and a detach-prevention member fixed to the fixing bolt in the second cylindrical member and thus engaged with the second cylindrical member.
