Abstract: A system for and method of mounting a machine to a base. A mounting bolt is provided for extending through the base, the mounting bolt includes a shaft having a first end and a second end, and an enlarged head attached to the second end of the shaft. A grommet having an aperture for receiving the shaft of the mounting bolt and having a groove for receiving the machine is provided. A nut attaches to the shaft of the mounting bolt adjacent the first end thereof to secure the grommet to the mounting bolt.

Abstract: A tamper proof draw band bolt apparatus and method including a bolt for extending through the apertures in the first and second lugs of a draw band, the bolt including a shaft having a first end and a second end, the shaft of the bolt having a threaded portion and a fettered portion with no angular pitch; a nut having a threaded aperture for screwably receiving the threaded portion of the shaft of the bolt and for allowing the bolt and the nut to coact with one another to draw the first and second lugs of the draw band toward one another; and a sleeve for crimping to the lettered portion of the shaft of the bolt after the first and second lugs of the draw band have been drawn together by the coaction between the bolt and the nut and for preventing undetected subsequent separation of the first and second lugs of the draw band.

Abstract: A sub-assembly comprising a bolt/screw member and a spacer sleeve member which jointly resemble a shoulder bolt/screw. The sub-assembly is particularly beneficial to act as a mount point or support for a rubber or synthetic grommet which in turn can support air compressor or motor power units used in various appliances, e.g., washers, dryers, refrigerators, and air-conditioners.
