  • Apparatus for making self-locking internally threaded fasteners with ring-like locking elements
    Patent number: 4070724
    Abstract: A self-locking internally threaded fastener in which the self-locking characteristic is derived from a ring-like plastic patch having a circumferential extent of greater than 180.degree. adhered to the thread-defining surface of the fastener. A method for making the fastener includes seating a fastener upon a pin having a configuration which establishes a cavity between the pin and the fastener, placing an initial deposit of plastic powder in the cavity and then re-distributing the plastic powder, as by blowing, to form a ring-like deposit which can be heated until fused to establish the desired ring-like patch. An apparatus includes a pin having a seating shoulder and a frusto-conical tapered portion for receiving the fastener and establishing the cavity.
