STRUCTURAL BLIND SLEEVES AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CLAMPING A FIRST STRUCTURE RELATIVE TO A SECOND STRUCTURE TO YIELD A CLAMPED-UP STRUCTURE
Abstract:
A structural blind sleeve includes a monolithic body. The monolithic body has a sleeve shank having an elongated tubular structure defining a proximal portion and a distal portion, the sleeve shank having a structural portion proximate the proximal portion, a threaded portion proximate the distal portion, and a softened portion between the structural portion and the threaded portion. The structural portion is capable of carrying a clamp-up structural load. The monolithic body further includes a sleeve head connected to the proximal portion of the sleeve shank.
