  • Patent number: 9027216
    Abstract: A swage collar and an internal sealing insert form a swage collar assembly used in combination with a structural fastener to prevent leakage through a connection of workpieces fastened together by the structural fastener. The swage collar has a hollow, generally cylindrical main body portion with a main central bore, and a base portion with an internal shoulder formed in the main central bore so as to form a seal receiving guide. The shaft of the fastener typically includes a threaded section and an unthreaded section, and the internal sealing insert interfaces with the threaded section and the unthreaded section of the shaft of the pin. In an alternate embodiment, the internal sealing insert interfaces with the unthreaded section of shaft of the pin.

  • Publication number: 20080145185
    Abstract: A threaded fastener having a two-piece nut member and a bolt with the nut member having a threaded nut member and a base member is disclosed. The threaded nut member has a body portion and a neck portion, the neck portion engaging with a transition beginning engagement on the base member. The base member includes a transition portion, the diameter of the transition portion increasing radially as it extends axially from the cylindrical through bore portion to an increased diameter at the outer planar surface of the base member. Movement of the neck potion into the based member results in the threaded form having a compressive engagement with engaged threads of the bolt to provide the prevailing torque structure. The threaded nut member and base member may be made of dissimilar materials and is more flexible in use with varying bearing surfaces.

  • Patent number: 4316798
    Abstract: A separating chamber for a magnetic separator is disclosed, which separating chamber includes a canister having at least one inlet and at least one outlet and a fluid-permeable magnetisable packing material within the canister. When feed material from which magnetisable particles are to be separated is supplied to the inlet(s), it passes into the packing material by way of a fluid-permeable partition which serves to distribute the feed material over a large area within the packing material. By virtue of an externally applied magnetic field, magnetisable particles within the feed material are magnetically attracted to collecting sites within the packing material. So as to mitigate the effect of fluid passing through apertures in the partition which tends to produce high velocity jets, thereby prejudicing the separation efficiency, the partition is double-walled, the two walls being spaced slightly apart and being apertured.
