  • Patent number: 6751851
    Abstract: A fastener structure for fastening a first member and a second member using a taper implant having a threaded hole therein. The taper implant has a frusto-conical outer surface, a projecting portion connected to a larger diameter end and a threaded hole passing therethrough. The first member has a wall portion with a tapered hole extending therethrough and a counterbored portion adjacent a larger diameter end to receive the projection portion of the taper implant. The taper implant is inserted into the hole of the first member and held therein by frictional contact. The second member has a wall portion with a hole therethrough. The second member is positioned in contact with the first member and the two members are fastened together by inserting a male screw through the hole of the second member and threading the male screw into engagement with the threaded hole of the taper implant.

  • Publication number: 20030194289
    Abstract: A taper implant of the invention comprises a taper portion having an outer surface being frustconical in shape, a flange portion formed at an outermost end of the taper portion on the larger-diameter side to project outward with respect to the taper portion and having a flat surface lying perpendicularly to the axial direction of the taper portion, and female threads serving as a fit portion extending in the axial direction of said taper portion. A hole taper portion and a hole step portion are drilled at the same time to bore a hole in one of members to be fastened, and the taper implant is driven into the hole, thereby providing a screw-fastening structure for the fastened members. The taper implant ensuring good working efficiency is achieved.

  • Patent number: 6591475
    Abstract: A method of fixing a taper implant to a receiving member includes providing a taper implant having a frusto-conical outer surface, a projecting portion connected to a larger diameter end and a smaller diameter end. A receiving member is provided which has a wall portion with a passing-through hole therein with at least a portion of the passing-through hole being tapered to form a frusto-conical shape whereby the taper portion has a larger diameter end and a smaller diameter end and the passing through hole has a cylindrical counterbored portion adjacent to the larger diameter end in which the projecting portion of the taper implant is received. A taper rate of the taper portion of the passing through hole is the same as a taper rate of the taper portion of the taper implant.

  • Patent number: 6488458
    Abstract: A taper implant includes a taper portion having an outer surface frust-conical in shape. A flange portion is formed at an outermost end of the taper portion on the larger-diameter side to project outwardly with respect to the taper portion and having a flat surface situated perpendicularly to the axial direction of the taper portion, and female threads serving as a fit portion extending in the axial direction of the taper portion. A hole taper portion and a hole step portion are drilled at the same time to bore a hole in one of the members to be fastened, and the taper implant is driven into the hole, thereby providing a screw fastening structure for the fastened members.
