CAPTIVE BOLT MECHANISM AND PROCESS FOR STRUCTURAL ASSEMBLY OF PLANAR COMPONENTS

A captive bolt mechanism joins planar structural members. In an exemplary embodiment, a first structural member has an opening defined there through. The head of a bolt is captured in a fastener slot within a second member, such that the threaded shaft of the bolt protrudes, in-plane, beyond the end...

Zusammenfassung:	A captive bolt mechanism joins planar structural members. In an exemplary embodiment, a first structural member has an opening defined there through. The head of a bolt is captured in a fastener slot within a second member, such that the threaded shaft of the bolt protrudes, in-plane, beyond the end of the second member. The threaded shaft is then passed through the opening in the first member and secured with a nut. As the nut is tightened, the underside of the bolt head is drawn against the interior surface of the fastener slot, binding the end of the second member against the surface of the first member. In an alternate embodiment, a nut is similarly confined within the fastener slot, and a bolt or screw is extended through the hole in the first member and the slot in the second member, and is then fastened to the nut.
