Abstract
A threaded fastener assembly for use with a nut includes a shaft head and a separate shaft. The shaft head includes a head, and an internally-threaded portion. The shaft has a first externally-threaded portion for cooperation with the internally-threaded portion of the shaft head to selectively secure the shaft to the shaft head, a second externally-threaded portion for cooperation with the nut, and an integrated nut or wrenching portion for tightening the shaft to the shaft head.
Claims19
A threaded fastener assembly for use with a nut, said threaded fastener assembly comprising, in combination:
- a shaft head including a head, and an internally-threaded portion;
- and
- a shaft separate from the shaft head and including a first externally-threaded portion for cooperation with the internally-threaded portion of the shaft head to selectively secure the shaft to the shaft head, and a second externally-threaded portion for cooperation with the nut.
A threaded fastener assembly for use with a nut, said threaded fastener assembly comprising, in combination:
- a shaft head including a head, and a fixing segment extending from the head, wherein at least a portion of the fixing segment includes an internally-threaded portion;
- wherein the shaft head includes a spline on an external surface of the fixing segment;
- and
- a shaft separate from the shaft head and including a first externally-threaded portion for cooperation with the internally-threaded portion of the shaft head to selectively secure the shaft to the shaft head, a second externally-threaded portion for cooperation with the nut, and an integrated nut portion for tightening the first externally-threaded portion of the shaft with the internally-threaded portion of the shaft head.
