Abstract: There is provided a caulking bolt which can be fastened by a general nut even when used to fix thin plates to each other, and which can also provide fitting strength similar to that of conventional products. The caulking bolt includes a head part and a shaft part, and has a non-circular, flat, rotation preventive protrusion formed on a seat surface of the head part. Also, the upper end of a normal complete thread part formed in the shaft part is brought close to the seat surface of the head part with a distance of 3 pitches or less, and an incomplete thread part formed at the portion of 3 pitches or less is used as a stopper part into which a metal flows when the caulking bolt is driven into a metal plate.

Abstract: There is provided a structure capable of ensuring a bearing surface pressure on an inner diameter side and an outer diameter side of a washer even if a thickness of the washer is suppressed. In a washer used at a fastening portion of a vehicle, a configuration in which a bearing surface is sectionalized into two faces, an inner abutting face and an outer abutting face, by an annular groove is adopted.

Abstract: The present invention provides a bolt that can exhibit a looseness-prevention function even though the bolt is repeatedly attached and detached. A bolt 1 includes a groove 4 that extends along a helix of a screw thread 3 and that is provided on a peak 31 of the screw thread 3. Further, the bolt is configured to include a plurality of the grooves 4 being spaced apart from each other along a helical direction of the screw thread 3.

Abstract: Provided is a case nut in which a nut that is held inside a case body so as to swing freely is not fixed as a result of electrodeposition coating treatment. The case nut is provided with a case body that is welded to a body, and a nut that is held inside the case body so as to float freely. The nut is provided with a metal nut body and a resin insulating member that is formed on the outside of the nut body and prevents contact of the upper surface, lower surface and outer surfaces of the nut body with the inner wall surfaces of the case body and with the body.

The caulking bolt includes a head part 11 and a shaft part 12, and has a non-circular, flat, rotation preventive protrusion 14 formed on a seat surface 13 of the head part. Also, the upper end of a normal complete thread part 17 formed in the shaft part 12 is brought close to the seat surface 13 of the head part with a distance of 3 pitches or less, and an incomplete thread part 18 formed at the portion of 3 pitches or less is used as a stopper part into which a metal flows when the caulking bolt is driven into a metal plate.

Abstract: Provided is a case nut in which a nut that is held inside a case body so as to swing freely is not fixed as a result of electrodeposition coating treatment. The case nut is provided with a case body 2 that is welded to a body 1, and a nut 3 that is held inside the case body 2 so as to float freely. The nut 3 is provided with a metal nut body 4 and a resin insulating member 6 that is formed on the outside of the nut body 4 and prevents contact of the upper surface, lower surface and outer surfaces of the nut body 4 with the inner wall surfaces of the case body 2 and with the body 1.

Abstract: There is provided a structure capable of ensuring a bearing surface pressure on an inner diameter side and an outer diameter side of a washer even if a thickness of the washer is suppressed. In a washer (1) used at a fastening portion of a vehicle, a configuration in which a bearing surface (5) is sectionalized into two faces, an inner abutting face (3) and an outer abutting face (4), by an annular groove (2) is adopted.

Abstract: A fastening tool according to the invention includes: a female screw member (10) having an inverse screw that is fixed to the first member (1); a collar bolt (11) that is screwed with the female screw member (10); a fastening bolt (27) that is inserted into a center hole (19) of the collar bolt (11) from the second member side (2) and rotates the collar bolt (11) through a torque transmitter (25), thereby moving the collar bolt to a position colliding with the second member (2); and a fastening nut (33) that is fixed to the first member (1). An earth claw (21) protruding toward the second member (2) is formed at an outer periphery of an end surface of the collar bolt (11) facing the second member. The earth claw (21) is configured to bite into the second member (2) in an axial direction due to axial force generated by screwing the fastening bolt (7) with the fastening nut (33), thereby breaking an insulating coating layer (3) and thus ensuring electrical conduction.

Abstract: A self-locking fastener wherein crests of respective threads of a part of a group of threads on the self-locking fastener are deformed to provide a group of lock portions so that the respective threads have a cross section of a trapezoidal-shape over an arcuate region of 10 to 40 degrees about an axis of the self-locking fastener in a cross section perpendicular to the axis. In addition a region, in which a group of the lock portions are formed in an axial direction of the self-locking fastener, is such that when the self-locking fastener is screwed into a nut, a major part of the group of lock portions are screwed into threads of the nut.
