Embodiment Construction

[0025] As required, detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention which may be embodied in various and alternative forms. The figures are not necessarily to scale; some features may be exaggerated or minimized to show details of particular components. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variously employ the present invention.

[0026] In many manufacturing applications, such as automotive manufacturing operations, fasteners are used to join two or more components to form a joint between the fastener and the two or more components. A specific torque is applied to the fastener during the joining step. In certain applications, it may be difficult to apply a certain torque to the fastener. High quality torque c...

Abstract

A hybrid metal and plastic shear fastener is disclosed. A metal and plastic hybrid shear fastener bolt includes a metal body having a first end and an opposite second end, the second end including a head, and the metal body including a A threaded rod extending toward the second end. The bolt also includes a plastic torque head formed on the metal body configured to shear away from the metal body at a predetermined torque.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to metal and plastic hybrid shear fasteners, such as bolts that include a metal body and a plastic torque head. Background technique [0002] In many manufacturing applications, such as automotive manufacturing operations, fasteners are used to join two or more components to form a joint between the fastener and the two or more components. A specific torque is applied to the fastener during the joining step. In certain applications, it may be difficult to apply a certain torque to the fastener. High quality torque control drivers and recorders have been proposed to reduce the difficulty of applying the proper amount of torque to fasteners. However, these devices require substantial investment and maintenance. Applying a torque in excess of the specified torque may result in damage to the fastener, joint and / or component. Contents of the invention [0003] In a first embodiment, a hybrid metal and plastic shear faste...
