Abstract
A through bolted connection hardware includes first and second nut-bolt-washer connectors each having a base portion and a bolt portion extending through the base portion. A threaded rod and a pair of threaded connectors bridge between the first and second nut-bolt-washer connectors. Specifically, a first bolt portion of a first nut-bolt-washer connector threadingly mates with a first threaded connector, and a second bolt portion of a second nut-bolt-washer connector threadingly mates with a second threaded connector. The threaded rod threadingly mates with the first and second threaded connectors. The assembly passed through an opening in materials to be joined and the assembly is tightened to secure the joint.
Claims20
A through bolted connection hardware, comprising:
- a first nut-bolt-washer connector including a first base portion and a first bolt portion extending through the first base portion;
- a second nut-bolt-washer connector including a second base portion and a second bolt portion extending through the second base portion;
- and
- a threaded connector having an axially extending central threaded bore configured to matingly receive the first bolt portion at a first end of the central threaded bore and matingly receive the second bolt portion at a second end of the central threaded bore.
A through bolted connection hardware, comprising:
- a first nut-bolt-washer connector including a first base portion and a first bolt portion extending through the first base portion;
