Embodiment Construction

[0069] The apparatus and methods disclosed herein provide an operating system for installing fasteners. Specifically, this fastener installation system employs a quick change socket and hex key holder assembly for a fastener installation tool. In particular, this system allows threaded nuts to be mounted on threaded screw fasteners of the type having a non-circular recess at the end of the screw fastener using a male element Fittingly coupled to the non-circular recess, the male element has a complementary shaped non-circular tip.

[0070] Threaded fasteners are often used where both sides of the structure to be fastened together are difficult to machine. In this case, it is practical to use a fastener installation tool with a hex key, or any other non-round drill bit, which is inserted into the flared recess of a screw type fastener to hold the fastener stationary while using A socket attached to the fastener installation tool threads the non-circular threaded nut onto the ...

Abstract

A system, apparatus, and method for installing fasteners are disclosed involving a fastener installation tool and a socket assembly. The fastener installation tool comprises a tool component and a gear head. The gear head comprises a lever, a retaining slide, a retaining slide housing, and at least one gear. The socket assembly comprises a socket, a hex key, and a hex key retainer. An end of the drive shaft of the socket has an annular groove around the circumference of the exterior surface of the drive shaft. When the retaining slide is slid into a locked position, the retaining slide engages the annular groove of the drive shaft of the socket, thereby attaching the drive shaft of the socket to the gear head of the fastener installation tool. A socket gear of the gear head matingly engages the drive shaft of the socket to rotate the socket.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a quick change socket and hex key holder assembly for a fastener installation tool. More particularly, the present invention relates to a quick change socket and hex key holder assembly for a fastener installation tool for installing fasteners. Background technique [0002] Threaded fasteners are often used where both sides of the structure to be fastened together are difficult to machine. In this case, it is practical to use a fastener installation tool with a hex key, or any other non-round drill bit, which is inserted into the flared recess of a screw type fastener to hold the fastener stationary while using A socket attached to the fastener installation tool threads the non-circular threaded nut onto the screw fastener. The fasteners are secured while the nuts are threaded onto the screw fasteners with the fastener installation tool and the screw fasteners are restrained from rotation with the hex key to fasten th...
