Abstract

The present invention relates to a u-bolt comprising, a shaft 10 having a curved portion 16 and two ends 20, the ends each have a threaded surface 40, the curved portion is located between the ends, at least a portion of the end has a trilobular shape, and the curved portion is shaped so that a distance between the ends is shorter than the length of the end.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a U-bolt assembly, and is particularly designed for clamping, securing or sealing one or more components. Background technique [0002] U-bolts are used in many applications, including clamping one or more components, securing one or more components, or sealing a joined area between two components. U-bolts are often used in combination with cross members and multiple nuts. [0003] In a typical application, a pair of nuts thread onto a pair of threaded ends provided on a U-bolt. When the nuts are threaded on this end, they exert a force on the cross member in the direction of the bend on the U-bolt. The nuts are threaded on the end until they reach the desired point on the end whereby the cross member is positioned the desired distance from the bend. In this way, the nut can be tightened such that the U-bolt and the cross member cooperate to secure or clamp one or more elements positioned between them. [0004] In c...
