Title:
FASTENERS WITH REDUCED BACTERIAL HARBORAGE POINTS, SEALING CAPABILITIES, AND COMPONENT PROTECTION FEATURES
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2023055860
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide fasteners.SOLUTION: Exemplary embodiments relate to a fastener (200) suitable for industrial tasks. Some embodiments include a sealing surface (208) sized such that an outer surface of a sealing ring (202) is located at approximately a same diameter as the fastener head, thus reducing an ingress risk for foreign contaminants. Further embodiments provide a centering pilot (210) to improve sealing consistency and quality. Some embodiments provide an angled flange (206) on the fastener head to lift tightening tools away from the surface to which the fastener is being applied, and to shed liquids readily. The portion of the head that receives the tightening tools may be relatively small (with approximately the same diameter as the fastener's threaded shaft) to reduce the risk of over-torquing.SELECTED DRAWING: None
