  • Patent number: 10941675
    Abstract: A bolt lock plate includes a plate configured with a multi-point aperture and a slot. The multi-point aperture has an axial centerline and a cross-sectional geometry with a quantity N of points arranged about the axial centerline. The slot extends circumferentially about the axial centerline a quantity M of degrees within the plate and between opposing ends of the slot. The quantity M is at least substantially equal to three-hundred and sixty divided by a product of the quantity N and a constant C. The constant C is equal to one or two.

  • Publication number: 20200109643
    Abstract: A fluid tube assembly includes a first fluid tube extending through a duct liner, a portion of the first fluid tube disposed radially outward of the duct liner and a portion of the first fluid tube disposed radially inward of the duct liner. Also included is a second fluid tube located radially inward of the duct liner. Further included is a clamp located radially inward of the duct liner and having an inner wall defining an interior space. Yet further included is a nut at least partially disposed within the interior space, the nut having an outer geometry corresponding to a geometry of a portion of the inner wall of the clamp, the first fluid tube and the second fluid tube each having a portion disposed within the nut, the clamp and the nut providing anti-rotation during assembly of the fluid tube assembly.
