Abstract: Hexagonal washers are formed by the following steps: at least two through holes are provided in the middle of a belt of material, which are also used for positioning and advancing the belt; a first residual slot is formed between every two adjacent through holes; a second residual slot and a third residual slot are formed at the two sides of every first residual slot, thereby forming a hexagonal ring around each through hole; six wedge planes are forged around the bottom surface of each ring, and at least a V-shaped groove or a ridge is forged on the top surface of each ring; a larger through hole as the inner hole of a washer is produced at the center of each ring; the major shape of each washers is then formed without separating the washers from the belt; and the washers are fine-tuned to obtain the precise form factor and dimension before they separated from the belt.

Abstract: A novel plastic fastening device is provided herein, which mainly contains a bolt, a nut, and at least a washer. On the surface of the washer that interfaces with the object being fastened, a number of small wedges are arranged radially with equal spacing therebetween. Inside at least one of the small wedges, a plate is embedded vertically with a saw-toothed edge facing towards the object being fastened. When the bolt and nut are screwed together and the small wedges on the washer are pressed against the object, the pointed edges of the small wedges are deformed, and the saw teeth of the embedded plate is exposed and driven into the object for a superior fastening effect.

Abstract: Circular washers are formed by the following steps: at least two through holes are provided in the middle of a belt of material, which are also used for positioning and advancing the belt; a residual slot is formed between every two adjacent through holes, thereby forming a circular ring around each through hole; six wedge planes are forged around the bottom surface of each ring, and at least a V-shaped groove or a ridge is forged on the top surface of each ring; a larger through hole as the inner hole of a washer is produced at the center of each ring; the major shape of each washers is then formed without separating the washers from the belt; and the washers are fined-tuned to obtain the precise form factor and dimension before they separated from the belt.
