  • Patent number: 11448251
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a bolt connector that enables a bolt to be inserted into a high nut, and is capable of easily maintaining a connection state between the bolt and the nut. The bolt connector connects two bolts and is configured by: a high nut that has a female screw portion; and a spring that is partially inserted into the female screw portion. The female screw portion is formed having a larger diameter than an outer diameter of the bolt. The spring is formed into a shape in which the spring is in contact with threads of the female screw portion and a male screw portion of the bolt, in a state in which the bolt or the high nut is rotated and fastened.

  • Patent number: 9163655
    Abstract: A nut main body has a slanted hole with a smaller inner end portion having a plurality of stepped portions of differing height. This gives the slanted hole a differing depth relative to a large-diameter end portion of the slanted hole at a plurality of locations about a circumference of the slanted hole. A plurality of nut segments are slidable within the slanted hole and come into contact with at least one of the stepped portions. The nut segments have screw threads at an inner wall surface. A washer is provided at a large-diameter side of the plurality of nut segments. A bias spring is attached within the nut main body so as to urge the plurality of nut segments towards the small-diameter side of the nut main body with the washer therebetween. A stopper piece holds the bias spring within the nut main body.

  • Patent number: 8939693
    Abstract: The present invention is configured by a wood screw main body, and a truncated cone-shaped washer that is rotatable in relation to a head of the wood screw main body such that a top surface of the head and a top surface of the truncated cone-shaped washer are substantially on the same plane, and attached so as not to detach from the head. When a retainer element is secured by the wood screw to a wood material to be supported, frictional heat can be prevented from occurring in the retainer element, and the retainer element can be secured by only the fastening force of the wood screw. The retainer element can be efficiently prevented from breaking, and attached such that the head of the wood screw and the surface of the retainer element are on the same plane.

  • Nut
    Patent number: 7744322
    Abstract: A nut having a nut body, a spring case, a washer, and a nut body urging spring. The nut body has received in it at least three or more nut segments and a nut segment urging spring, where the nut segments are, when rotated in the tightening direction after a bolt is inserted into the nut segments, screwed on to the thread of the bolt inserted. The spring case is attached at its upper end to the outer circumferential surface other than the upper part of the nut body so that the spring case is rotatable together with the nut body. The washer is rotatably attached to the lower part of the spring case. The urging spring is installed such that its one end received in the spring case is connected to the spring case or to the nut body and the other end to the washer, so that the urging spring can constantly urge the nut body in the tightening direction when the nut body is screwed on the bolt.
