Tack Fastener

View page
US Patent:
60562838, May 2, 2000
Filed:
Feb 8, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/246068
Inventors:
Roger A. Gage - Marysville WA
Laurence N. Hazlehurst - Seattle WA
Milton R. Jack - Everett WA
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Seattle WA
International Classification:
B23Q 300
US Classification:
269 49
Abstract:
A tack fastener temporarily holds two or more parts together. An elongate tubular body of the tack fastener includes a longitudinal center cavity formed therein along a longitudinal center axis. A threaded hub is provided at a first end of the body and a plurality of tangs at a second end. Each of the tangs includes an enlarged tip having an inner shoulder that lies orthogonal to the longitudinal center axis. Each of the tangs has an outer surface which tapers inwardly toward the longitudinal axis in a direction toward the tip. A compression nut is mounted on the threaded hub. A stem is slidably mounted in the longitudinal center cavity. The stem includes a cone-shaped spreader with a distal end and having a contact surface with a gradually enlarging diameter in a direction toward the distal end. The spreader is movable between a position out of alignment with and a position in alignment with the enlarged tips. When in the position in alignment with the enlarged tips, the spreader spreads the tips outwardly equidistant from the longitudinal center axis.

US Patent:
49348850, Jun 19, 1990
Filed:
Feb 25, 1985
Appl. No.:
6/705219
Inventors:
Quentin T. Woods - Redmond WA
Milton R. Jack - Everett WA
James S. Tallman - Seattle WA
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Seattle WA
International Classification:
F16B 1306
US Classification:
411 44
Abstract:
A tack fastener comprising an elongate, tubular body (51), a stem (53) slidable in the body and a compression nut (91) is disclosed. The body (51) has an enlarged threaded hub (55) at one end, which supports the compression nut (91). The other end of the body is slit longitudinally to create a plurality of tangs (57)--preferably four. The tips (61) of the tangs (57) are enlarged and include an inner shoulder (63) that lies orthogonal to the axis of the body (51). The tangs (57) are heat treated to cause them to converge toward one another, resulting in the diameter of the enlarged tang tips (61) being the same or less than the diameter of the main part of the elongate, tubular body (51). When the slidable stem (53) is slid into the body (51), it forces the tangs (57) outwardly, positioning the tang shoulders (63) to impinge on the blind side of parts (105, 107) to be tack fastened together. Tack fastening is accomplished by pulling the tack fastener away from the parts after the tangs have been spread to cause the diverging tangs to wedge against the wall of the holes through which the tangs are inserted.
