Abstract
A bolt includes a main-bolt head, a threaded shaft, and a deformable-bolt head component. The main-bolt head has a recess. The threaded shaft extends from the main-bolt head. The threaded shaft has an external thread wrapped therearound. The deformable-bolt head component has an outer flange and an interior threaded bore. The outer flange of the deformable-bolt head component is coupled to the main-bolt head such that a relief space is formed between the deformable-bolt head component and the recess.
Claims10
A method of making a bolt, the method comprising:
- providing a main-bolt head with a threaded shaft extending therefrom, the main-bolt head having a recess;
- providing a deformable-bolt head component having an outer flange and an interior threaded bore;
- and
- threading the deformable-bolt head component onto the threaded shaft (i) such that a portion of the deformable-bolt head component is positioned within the recess of the main-bolt head and (ii) until the outer flange engages a front surface of the main-bolt head, thereby forming a relief space between the deformable-bolt head component and the recess.

A method of making a bolt having a reinforced head, the method comprising:
- providing a main-bolt head with a threaded shaft extending therefrom;
- positioning an angled collar about the threaded shaft such that the angled collar engages the main-bolt head, the angled collar having an angled inner surface;
- fixing the angled collar to the main-bolt head, thereby forming a recess of the reinforced head;
- and
- threading a deformable-bolt head component onto the threaded shaft (i) such that a portion of the deformable-bolt head component is positioned within the recess of the reinforced head and (ii) until an outer flange of the deformable-bolt head component engages a front surface of the angled collar, thereby forming a relief space between the deformable-bolt head component and the recess.
