Abstract
A self-punching fastener (10), which in a way is safe against rotation and pressing out and which can be pressed into a metal sheet member (40) having an annular body, the side of which facing the metal sheet has radially disposed projections (15, 25), which, during the pressing-in, are pressed into the metal sheet member (40) and thereby secure the fastener (10) against rotation, wherein in the center an interior thread (11) is positioned and, wherein on the side facing the metal sheet member (40) in the set state there is provided an annular depression (12) into which the material displaced during the setting is pressed.
Description
- The present invention relates to a self-punching fastener, which in a way safe against rotation and pressing out can be pressed into a metal sheet having an annular body, the side of which facing the metal sheet is having radially positioned projections, which are pressed into the surface thereof during the setting in the centre of which an interior thread being provided and which on the side of the annular body facing the metal sheet in the set state is having a surrounding annular depression into which the metal sheet material displaced during the setting is pressed.
- It is the task to be solved by the present invention to improve such a fastener in such a way that with the same geometry in a maximal range of gauges of the metal sheet can be used with a high safety against rotation and pressing out without a previous punching or a special preparation of the holes into which the fastener is to be set being necessary.
- According to the prior art, the known solutions were based on the assumption that an optimal safety against rotation and pressing out and a broad range of use of the fastener is achieved if for the locking against rotation continuous ridges are provided within the annular depression and if the bottom of the annular depression is parallel to the surface of the metal sheets to be worked.
- Contrary to this, the present invention is based on the fact that for achieving an optimal safety against rotation burl-shaped locking elements are provided in a maximal distance to the central axis to make use of the most effective lever against the rotational momentum at the utmost supporting collar of the annular depression.
- A further advantage of the solution according to the invention is consisting in the fact that by the above described displacing of the security against rotation and the inclined formation of the bottom of the annular depression at the innermost limit of the annular depression—the punching collar—there is more space for the penetration of the cutting ring of the punching die available, which means it is possible to work with larger thicknesses of the metal sheets or larger gauge ranges with the solution according to the invention.
- The coordination between the punching die geometry and the shape of the annular depression and the kind of security against rotation according to the invention is ensuring that after the pressing-in of the metal sheet material a jamming on the punching die is prevented and therefore a high working safety is secured.
- Into the undercuts formed during the production of the parts as well at the inner punching collar as on the supporting collar of the annular depression during the pressing-in of the parts the material of the metal sheet is shaped into said undercuts ensuring that even with the working in thin metal sheets a high safety against rotation and pressing out of the fastener is achieved.
- The shape of the projections or burls can be arched as well as with sharp edges (triangular).
- In the following, the invention is more detailly described with reference to the attached drawings.
- FIG. 1 is showing a fastener according to the invention in the shape of a nut consisting of an annular
basic body 10. In the centre of thecylindrical fastener 10 there is a through-bore which at least over a part of the height of thefastener 10 is formed as athread 11. - On the bottom side, the
fastener 10 according to the invention is provided with anannular depression 12, the bottom face of which starting from its inner limitation—thepunching collar 13—is inclined to its outer limitation, i.e. the supportingcollar 14. Within thisannular depression 12 at the outer supportingcollar 14 there are provided evenly distributed burl-shaped locking elements 15 in an annular array. Thepunching collar 13 is having anundercut 16 towards theaxis 20 of thefastener 10 according to the invention and the supportingcollar 14 is having anundercut 17 in the direction of the exterior envelopingface 18 of thefastener 10 according to the invention. Thepunching collar 13 is having acutting edge 19. - FIG. 2 shows the
fastener 10 according to the invention of FIG. 1 in a bottom view. The shape and the position of the burl-shaped locking elements 15 are clearly shown. The burl-shaped locking elements 15 are positioned at the outer supportingcollar 14 and are forming a free-space towards thepunching collar 13. In this representation (FIG. 2) the variant with annularly shaped burl-shaped locking elements 15 is shown. - FIG. 3 shows the
fastener 10 according to the invention in an embodiment having sharp-edged (triangular) burl-shaped locking elements 25. - FIG. 4 shows the
fastener 10 according to the invention in accordance to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 as well as the punching die 30 and themetal sheet member 40. From this representation it can be learnt that themetal sheet member 40 does not have a prefabricated hole and does not need any further preparation. The punching die 30 is having acutting edge 31 and aswaging ring 32 having aspecial geometry 33. The exterior envelopingface 34 of theswaging ring 32 is running conically towards thecentral axis 20 of the punching die 30. This is ensuring that after the punching and pressing-in of themetal sheet member 40 into the annular depression 12 a jamming of theswaging ring 32 in themetal sheet member 40 is avoided. - FIG. 5 shows the
fastener 10 according to the invention of FIG. 1 to 3 shortly after the finalization of the setting procedure. By thepunching collar 13 in corporation with thecutting edge 31 of thepunching die 30, a disk 41 has been punched out of themetal sheet member 40 and the material of themetal sheet member 40 has been swaged into theannular depression 12 by theswaging ring 32 enclosing the burl-shapedlocking elements - FIG. 6 is showing the
fastener 10 according to the invention completely set in ametal sheet member 40. The action of the undercut 16, 17 at thepunching collar 13 and at the supportingcollar 14 is clearly shown. Theannular depression 12 is filled with the material of themetal sheet member 40. The burl-shaped locking elements metal sheet member 40. The positive action of the bottom face of theannular depression 12 inclined to the exterior for enlarging the active length of thepunching collar 13 and therefore for increasing the range of useable gauge ranges of the metal sheets for thefastener 10 according to the invention can be clearly noticed.
