Abstract

A method of forming a radially expandable externally grooved tubular fastener from metal, comprising the steps of providing a suitable tubular blank 11 having a tubular wall and squeezing the tubular wall between an internal member 17 with a surface which engages the internal tubular wall face of the blank and a plurality of external members 18 provided with suitably shaped surfaces engaging the external tubular wall face of the blank thereby to form grooves on the external tubular wall face of the blank.

Description

SPLIT DIE GROOVE MAKER
The invention relates to a method of fomming a tubular fastener, and more particularly to a method of fomming a radially expandable externally grooved tubular 5 fastener from metal.
Such fasteners are used to fasten together two or more workplaces by inserting a fastener in a suitable aperture through the workpieces, and radially expanding at least part of the tubular fastener so as to engage the workpieces. Commonly the 10 tubular fastener is provided with a radially enlarged head at one end which contacts the face of the nearer workpiece. In this case the fastener may engage all of the workpieces, or only the workpiece most remote from the head. Radial expansion of the tubular fastener may be achieved by pushing or pulling through its bore the head of a mandrel.
Such fasteners and their method of installation are well-known in the mechanical assembly industry.
The present invention aims to provide an improved and simplified method of forming 20 such fasteners, needing few manufacturing operations.
The invention provides, in one of its aspects, a method of forming a radially expandable externally grooved tubular fastener from metal, as defined in claim 1 of the accompanying claims. Further preferred features of the present invention are 25 set out in claims 2 to 16. The invention includes a fastener manufactured by a method according to the invention.
Some specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described by way of example and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figures 1A to 1N illustrate a first method; Figures 2A to 2K illustrate a second method; 35 Figures 3A to 3M illustrate a third method; and
Figures 4A and 4B, 5A and 5B, and 6A and 6B illustrate possible alternative groove configurations for a formed tubular fastener.
In Figures 1, 2 and 3, the individual figures suffixed "A",","C" etc. through to "K" 5 are, in general, corresponding views respectively on the three example methods.
Referring first to the method illustrated in Figures 1A to 1 N. Figures 1A and 1B show the blank used, Figure 1A being an axial section on the line 1A-1A of Figure 1B, and Figure 1B being a cross-section on the line 1B-1B of Figure 1A. (Most of the 10 remainder of the figures are also in such pairs, one of which is an axial section and the other of which is a cross-section, as is common in engineering drawing practice.
Since the reader will be familiar with this, this relationship between the figures of each pair will not be further referred to). The blank 11 has an elongated tubular body wall 12 with a radially enlarged head 13 (in a so-called "pan heads shape at 15 one end). The blank has a cylindrical bore 14 extending throughout its entire length, to provide an internal tubular wall surface 15. The tubular wall 12 has a cylindrical outer surface wall 16.
It will be appreciated that the bore 14 and/or walls 12 and 15 may have non 20 cylindrical shapes such as tri-roundular or hexagonal shapes.
The internal wall face 15 of the blank is supported on a cylindrical support pin 17 (Figures 1C and 1D) which is a close fit in the bore 14.
25 Outside the tubular wall 12 there are then provided four external die members 18 in the form of a split die. The blank is inserted between them so that (as shown in Figure 1 C) the underside of the head 13 abuts one set of end faces of the members 18, the other ends of which project beyond the tail end of the tubular wall 12 of the blank. The inner face of each member 18, which faces towards the external wall 16 30 of the body 12, is formed with grooves 19. The members 18 are initially spaced slightly apart, to provide a space 21 into which the body wall 12 of the blank can be introduced with clearance, as shown in Figures 1 C and 1 D. There is a radial gap 22 between adjacent die members 18.
35 The tubular wall 12 of the blank is then radially squeezed, as illustrated in Figures 1 E and 1 F. by forcing the four die members 18 radially inwardly towards the support
pin 17, in the directions indicated by the arrows A in Figure 1 F. The grooved faces of the die members engage the external wall surface 16 of the tubular body wall 12 of the blank, to deform it. The internal wall 15 of the blank is prevented from moving radially inwardly by the contact with the rigid support pin 17. The radially outer part 5 of the body wall 12 is deformed so that it becomes substantially complementary in shape to the shape of the grooves 19 in the die members 18, so that the external surface wall 16 of the tubular body is fommed with circumferential grooves 23 (see Figure 1G). As shown in Figure 1F, the four die members 18 are closed together only so far as to leave a reduced radial gap 22 between each and the next. These 10 gaps accommodate, and help to form, protrusions 24 which project radially outwardly from the thread formed on the blank. These arise due to the squeezing action on the metal of the tubular wall 12, and are shown in Figure 1F. They are shown on an enlarged scale in Figure 1M (which is an enlargement of the part of Figure 1 F indicated), and also in Figure 1 L, which is an enlarged partial section on 15 the line X-X of Figure 1F. The protrusions 24 are formed in the valleys of the grooves 23 on the wall of the blank and extend radially outwardly to slightly beyond the crests of the grooves. It will be appreciated that the protrusions 24 need not extend beyond the crests of the grooves 23.
20 An alternative arrangement is illustrated in Figure 1N, which is an enlargement corresponding to Figure 1 M. In this altemative, side walls of each die 18 are further apart, so that when the grooves 23 on the blank are fully formed, the adjacent walls of the dies 18 are in contact with each other, as illustrated in Figure 1 N. However, a suitable space 25 is left adjacent the grooved faces of the dies, to accommodate the 25 protrusions 24.
The four dies are then drawn apart again, as illustrated in Figures 1G and 1H, with directions indicated by the arrows B in Figure 1H. This releases the grooves 23 which have been formed on the external surface of the tubular body 11 from inter 30 engagement with the grooves 19 in the die members. The support pin 17 can then be withdrawn axially from between the dies, carrying the blank with it. The blank can then be pushed off the pin, to leave the formed blank as shown in Figures 1J and 1K.
35 The term "blanks is used at this stage, as a matter of consistency and convenience.
It may be that the tubular fastener has been fully manufactured at this stage.
Altematively it may be that the grooved blank is subject to further manufacturing stages, for example heat treatment and/or surface treatment.
A second example of the method according to the invention is illustrated in Figures 5 2A to 2K, which as previously mentioned correspond to Figures 1A to 1K respectively, like parts being indicated by like reference numerals. This second method is generally similar to the first method, and may be considered as a modification thereof. Accordingly the second method will be described in detail only where it differs from the first.
As shown in Figure 2A, the head 13 of the blank 11 is formed with a counterbore 26.
The end face 34 of support pin 17 (Figure 2C) is in contact with the end face 35 of expander pin 36 which is formed with expander part 27 or larger diameter, merging with the diameter of the support pin by a conical taper 28. The four dies 18 are 15 initially closed together so that there are no radial gaps between their side faces, and their radially inner grooved surfaces provide a small gap with the external wall 16 of the tubular body wall 12 of the blank, as illustrated in Figures 2C and 2D. The support pin 17 is then pulled with respect to the blank, in the direction towards the head 13 of the blank, i.e. upwards as sown in Figure 2C. The taper 28 and then the 20 expander portion 27 progressively enter the bore 14 of the blank. The blank is prevented from moving axially upwards by a support tool 29 which contacts the blank head 13 and which takes up the reaction force. The tubular body wall 12 is thus radially expanded, so that its outer part is squeezed into the grooves 19 in the die members, thus forming external circumferential grooves in the tubular wall. The 25 counterbore 26 within the head 13 of the blank accommodates the expander portion 27, so that the head 13 is not radially expanded. This is the position illustrated in Figures 2E and 2F. Since there are no radial gaps between the dies 18, no protrusions from the grooved external face of the blank are formed. The dies 18 are then withdrawn radially, as shown in Figures 2G and 2H, and the externally grooved 30 blank is pushed off the expander section 27 to provide the result illustrated in Figures 2J and 2K. Protrusions may be formed by leaving radial gaps between the dies as for the first method described above.
The third example method shown in Figures 3A to 3M may be considered as 35 combining features of the first two methods, in that it combines an effective
decrease in the diameter of engagement of the external die surfaces and an increase in the diameter of engagement of the internal support.
As shown in Figures 3A and 3B, the blank 11 is identical with that shown in Figures 5 2A and 2B and used on the second example method. Likewise the support pin 17 is joined by a taper 28 to an expander position 27 of enlarged diameter. As shown in Figures 3C and 3D, initially the blank is placed on the support pin 17 and inserted between the grooved inner walls of the dies 18. The dies are then advanced radially inwardly to the position shown In Figures BE and OF, in which the ridges between 10 the grooves in the dies partially enter the outer surface wall 16, as shown in Figures BE and OF, and more clearly in the enlargement in Figure 3L. The body wall 12 is supported against inward deformation by the support pin 17. The support pin 17 is then pushed axially upwards into the tubular blank, against the reaction of a support tool 29 contacting the head 13 of the blank, so that the expander portion 27 enters 15 the bore of the tubular wall 12 and radially expands it. The outer part of the wall material is thus forced into the grooves in the dies, as illustrated in Figures 3G and 3H. As shown in enlargement Figure 3M, the material may not completely fill the grooves in the dies.
20 The dies are then withdrawn radially to release engagement with the blank, which is then pushed off the expander portion 27 to provide the result illustrated in Figures 3J and 3K. As shown in Figure 3H, when the dies 18 are together, there are radial gaps 22 between them, so that as shown in Figures 3J and 3K protrusions 24 are thrown up.
In the foregoing examples, the material of the blank is aluminium 5052, containing 2.5% magnesium. After forming, the length of the tubular body or shank is 7.0mm, its external diameter is 3.4mm, the internal diameter of its bore is 1.6mm, the diameter of the head of 6.0mm, and the thickness of the head is O.9mm. It will be 30 noted that other materials and/or dimensions may be used.
The invention is not restricted to the details of the foregoing examples. For instance, by providing grooves 19 of suitable form on the inner faces of the die members 18, external grooves of the other desired configurations may be formed on the external 35 tubular wall of the blank. Thus, Figures 4A and 4B illustrate a fastener with a helical groove 31, which provides a screw-thread (which could be considered as comprising
a number of circumferential or near-circumferential grooves joined together to form a helical groove). There may be an unthreaded portion 33 at one or both ends of the threaded portion. If such a helical thread were formed by the method of the first foregoing example, radial protrusions would be formed, which would provide 5 resistance to unscrewing the installed fastener. This is illustrated in Figures 5A and 5BFigures 6A and 6B illustrate a fastener with longitudinal grooves 32. The method of the present invention provides for the formation of a tubular fastener with grooves of all these, and other, configurations.
