  • Patent number: 5152948
    Abstract: A method for casting polymer threads (32) in a nut cavity (14) complementary to the threads (44) of a casting screw (42) to minimize the formation of air pockets and air bubbles in the polymer threads. The cavity (14) of the nut (12) has a diameter larger than the diameter of the casting screw (42). The threads (32) of the nut (12) are formed in a polymer (30) which is dispensed into the nut cavity (14) and which cures around the threads (44) of the casting screw (42) after the screw is inserted into the cavity of the nut. The method for casting the threads (32) includes the steps of closing the bottom of the nut cavity (14), thereafter filling the nut cavity with polymer (30), and thereafter inserting the casting screw (42) slowly down into the polymer.
