  • Screwed connection
    Patent number: 7716805
    Abstract: The invention relates to a screwed connection, particularly designed for screwing together housing parts. A tight-fitting neck (2) is provided with a tangent continuous transition (37) between the cone (2) and the bolt head (3), in order to ensure the tightness of the screwed connection and the tightening torque in the instance of temperature fluctuations and different materials with different coefficients of expansion. This is achieved due to the special design of the tight-fitting neck.

  • Attachment device for attaching a first component to a second component
    Publication number: 20040258466
    Abstract: To attach a first component to a second component, a sleeve (10) is inserted in the first component and axially fixed in the first component. A bolt (20) is driven into the sleeve (10) which has a thread (205) on its front end for screwing into a mating thread of the second component. The bolt (20) has a recess (206) in which a spring lock washer (30) is inserted. As the bolt (20) is driven into the sleeve (10), the spring lock washer (30) is pressed radially into the recess (206). In the inserted state of the bolt, the spring lock washer (30) engages behind an inner shoulder (104) of the sleeve (10), so that the bolt (20) is axially supported positively in the sleeve (10) via the spring lock washer (30).
