Abstract:

This Application seeks to protect Applicant's HYTORC Z System which involves: tools having multi-speed/multi-torque modes with torque multiplication and vibration mechanisms without use of external reaction abutments; a force transfer means to yield in-line co-axial action and reaction for use with such tools; driving means and shifting means capable of attaching to washers under the nut for use with such tools and force transfer means; associated washers and fasteners for use with such tools, force transfer means and driving means; and related accessories for use with such tools, force transfer means, driving means, washers and fasteners. The HYTORC Z System includes the following: Z Washers located under nuts or bolt heads of various types having engageable perimeters of multiple shapes, sizes, geometries and serrations, such as washer/fastener radius engagement differentials, and frictionally biased faces with relatively higher friction against the flange surface and relatively lower friction against the nut, such as friction coefficient increasing treatment means of various types, sizes and locations; HYTORC Z Guns incorporating a powerful intermittent (impact, vibration, ultrasonic, etc.) mechanism, a precise torque multiplier in the same tool combining rapid run-down with calibrated torque; HYTORC Z Sockets with dual drive coaxial action and reaction having outer sleeves to react on Z Washers and an inner sleeves to turn nuts or bolt heads; HYTORC Z Spline Adapters and Reaction Plates for backwards compatibility with HYTORC's torque/tension systems including the AVANTI and ICE square drive systems, the STEALTH limited clearance system, the pneumatic jGUN series, the FLASH Gun and LITHIUM Series electric multipliers and more; the combination of HYTORC Z Washer and the HYTORC Z Dual Friction Washer™ including a dual friction-enhanced face washer and/or the HYTORC Z Nut/Bolt for counter-torque under a nut or bolt head on the other side of the joint; HYTORC Z Dual Drive Offset Links for tight clearances while using HYTORC's torque/tension systems; HYTORC Z Vibration Mechanisms applied thereof; Z-Squirter Washers; Z-DTI Washers; HYTORC Z Washer and Nut Assemblies; Anti-Loosening Z Washers; and any combinations thereof. Further disclosures include: Tapered Fastener Assemblies; Tapered Torsional Couplings; Two-Part Tapered Nut Assemblies; Two-Part Tapered Thread Nut Assemblies; HYTORC Anti-Loosening Z Washers, Nuts and SMARTSTUDS; and any combinations thereof.

B25B 23/14

Abstract:

The invention relates to a two-part tapered thread nut assembly () including: a rigid inner member () having an inner surface () threadedly engagable with the fastener and an outer surface () defined by a thread formation that forms a taper; an outer member () having an inner surface () defined by an inversely tapered thread formation () that is threadedly engagable with the tapered thread formation () of the outer surface () of the inner member (); and wherein the two-part nut assembly (), when rotated by an action portion of the torque device, applies a load to the threaded fastener.
