Abstract: A novel fastener comprises a head (15) having a recess (34) for receiving a rotary driver, a shank (12) having knurls (18) defined by generally helical grooves (22) and intersecting generally annular grooves (26), wherein a plurality of the knurls (18) include a lateral cutting edge, and a generally pointed tip (16). Another novel fastener comprises a shank (12) having a predetermined diameter small enough so that the head (15) will break away from said shank(12) upon application of a predetermined torque

Abstract: A damper (10) includes a housing (28), a cover (20), a rotor (90) and a valve (70) relatively rotatable with respect to the rotor (90). When the rotor (90) is rotated in one direction, a space between the valve (70) and the rotor (90) is opened to increase damper fluid flow and reduce damper resistance. When rotated in an opposite direction, the space between the valve (70) and the rotor (90) is closed to decrease damper fluid flow and increase damper resistance. A shaped flange (84) on the rotor may provide a changing space between the rotor and ribs in the housing when the rotor is rotated. The cover (20) is self-centering on the housing (28) and is capable of being secured by ultrasonic welding.

Abstract translation: 阻尼器10包括相对于转子90可相对旋转的壳体28，盖20，转子90和阀70。 当转子（90）沿一个方向旋转时，阀（70）和转子（90）之间的空间打开以增加阻尼器流体流动并降低阻尼器阻力。 当在相反方向上旋转时，阀（70）和转子（90）之间的空间关闭以减小阻尼器流体流动并增加阻尼器阻力。 当转子旋转时，转子上的成形凸缘（84）可以在转子和壳体中的肋之间提供变化的空间。 盖（20）在壳体（28）上自对中并且能够通过超声波焊接固定。

Abstract: A male threaded fastening member (12) is provided with depressions (36) in at least one or several helix turns of a thread (18) adjacent its head (24), the depressions (34) extending inwardly from an edge (30) of the thread (18) at least part way toward a shank (16). In a fastening system including such a male fastening member (12), a female member (50) includes projections (56, 72) for engaging the depressions (36).

Abstract: A lock nut (10) having a body member (20) with a threaded axial bore (22) and a washer (30) having an axial opening (36) coupled to a bottom end portion thereof so that the opening (36) of the washer (30) is aligned substantially with the threaded axial bore (22). The washer (30) has one or more fingers (40) with threaded finger tip portions (44) partially defining the opening (36) thereof. The threaded finger tip portions (44) of the washer (30) are in-phase helically with the threaded axial bore (22) of the body member (20). A recess (50) is disposed between the washer (30) and the body member (20), and a protruding portion (38) of the washer (30) extends from a bottom end portion (21) of the body member (20), in use, to engage a workpiece and to deform the washer (30) to provide a locking torque. The lock nut (10) has a low installation torque since the locking torque is only provided by deformation of the washer (30).

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种锁紧螺母（10），该锁紧螺母具有带有螺纹轴向孔（22）的主体构件（20）和垫圈（30），该垫圈具有联接到其底端部分的轴向开口（36），使得 垫圈30基本上与螺纹轴向孔22对齐。 垫圈（30）具有一个或多个指状物（40），指状物（40）具有部分地限定其开口（36）的带螺纹的指尖部分（44）。 垫圈30的螺纹指尖部分44与本体构件20的带螺纹的轴向孔22同相螺旋地同相。 在垫圈30和主体部件20之间设置有凹部50，垫圈30的突出部38从主体部件20的下端部21延伸， 以在使用中接合工件并使垫圈（30）变形以提供锁定扭矩。 锁定螺母（10）由于仅通过垫圈（30）的变形来提供锁定扭矩，所以安装扭矩低。
