4 Claims. (Cl. 189-36) Matter enclosed in heavy brackets appears in the original patent but forms no part of this reissue speculcatlon; matter printed in italics indicates the additions made by reissue. I
This invention relates to improvements in thread couplings, and more particularly to an extruded thread coupling structure.
The primary object of the invention is to provide [for channel-shaped] members which may be bolted together without regard to the exact longitudinal alignment of one member with the other.
in this connection, it is an object of the invention to provide a [channel] member which comprises a [parallel] thread coupling structure integral therewith, and along any point of which the threaded portion of a predetermined form of bolt or like fastener may be engaged. By reason of this structure, a threaded bolt may be interconnected with the member at any point along its length. Accordingly,.the necessity for aligning bolt holesin one of said members with tapped holes in the other of said members is eliminated. A bolt passed through a bolt hole of one [channel] member will be in automatic alignment with [a complementary threaded portion] the thread coupling structure of the other [channel] member. a
A particular object of the invention is to provide this [threaded] thread coupling structure by the process of extrusion wherebythe entire [channel] member having [the] spaced parallel [threads] walls with longitudinally extending thread engaging ribs thereon, may be shaped in one extruding operation. I
Other objects and advantages of the invention wil 'be more apparent to one skilled in the art upon an As best shown in Fig. 2, [channel-shaped] members indicated generally as 5 and 6, and which are desirably of extrndable metal such as aluminum, may be mated and coupled as is best shown in Fig. l. The particular form of the shapes is variable depending on the purpose 'for which they are to be used.
[Channel] Member 5 is desirably provided with [on gitudinally spaced bolt apertures 7, and [channel] membet 6 is provided with spaced parallel walls 8 which have a slot therebetween for receiving a'prcdetermined form of bolt. I
Said walLr have their edges lying in a common plane and are provided, on their facing surfaces with spaced parallel rectilinear [threads 9] ribs and grooves allel to the edges of said walls.
which are equally spaced and contiguous so as to form serrations 9 which extend longitudinally of the slot par- The serrations on one of said facing surfaces are located intermediate and in complementary opposed relation with respect to the ser rations on the other of said facing surfaces whereby the ribs and grooves on one surface are positioned opposite the grooves and ribs respectively on the other surface. However, since the ribs extend longitudinally of the slot parallel to the edges of the spaced walls, they have no inclination in a direction lengthwise of the thread coupling structure. Nevertheless, the ribs as extruded are formed and spaced apart to correspond to the shape and pitch of the thread of a predetermined size and type of bolt with which the thread coupling structure is to be used.
The connecting web of [channel] member 6 is indicated by the reference character 10 and serves to hold the parallel walls in rigid spaced relation. [Channelshaped] Member 6 may also comprise out-flanges or wings 11 and [ribs] projections 12 which constitute extensions of the walls 8 beyond the junction 13 of the walls 8 and the wings 11. I
l n the preferred embodiment of the invention [channel] member 6 is'an extruded shape wherein the walls 8, web
I 10, wings ll, [ribs] projections 12, and [threads] the ribs and grooves which make up the serrations 9 are formed in a single die by the process of extrusion so that upon issuance from the die, the [channel] member is in substantially finished condition.
[Channel] Member 5 is also desirably an extruded shape and is formed with paired outboard positioning flanges or abutments 16, comprising fianged side margins of the [channel] member, and with paired inboard positioning flanges or abutments 17 comprising spaced walls which embrace the [ribs] projections 12 of [channel] member 6 when the respective [channels] members are mated. The ends of the abutments 16 and 17 are co-planar whereby to define the mated position of [channel] memher 5 against the Wings 11 of [channel] member 6. By reason of the embrace of the [ribs] projections 12 by the walls 17 of [channel] member 5, the [thread] serrated structure 9 is braced against spreading when the threaded shank l8'ot bolt 19 is engaged through one of apertures 7 in the [channel] members and with the [threads] ribs or serrations 9 of [channel] member 6. Bolt 19 is desirably of the type in which each thread on shank 18 is of the same diameter to insure maximum threaded connection with the [threads] rectilinear ribs 9 of walls 8, and to insure against wedging apart the walls 8.
The web 20 of [channel] member S-is of substantial thickness in the vicinity of the bolt apertures 7 to guide the bolt shank 18 on its axis and restrain the bolt from bodily swinging in the plane of the [threads 9 to cut 1 the threads] slot between walls 8 to cut the serrations 9, although this is not a serious problem unless great tightening pressure is applied.
As before stated, in the present invention critical longitudinal alignment of one member with the other is not necessary. Bolt 19 will always engage the portion of the thread coupling structure opposite the selected bolt hole 7. .By fabricating the respective [channels] members and particularly [channel] member 6, by the extrusion process, the shapes are rapidly produded in substantially finished condition and at a relatively small cost. By provision for a bolt having a thread disposed on a cylindrical helical path the walls 8 are not wedged apart during the coupling of the [channels] members.
With this construction the bolt is secured in a fixed position normal to the thread coupling structure by angu- Iar engagement of a plurality of turns of the inclined thread on the bolt with a plurality of the rectilinear ribs on the facing surfaces of the wallsof the slot. The bolt is restrained against transverse tilting movement by engagement of the portion thereof located within the slot with the side walls of the slot. Further, the bolt is restrained against longitudinal tilting movement by engagement of the helical threads with the rectilinear ribs at multiple points on opposite sides of the bolt throughout that portion of the bolt located in the slot. As the bolt apertures 7 have walls of substantial thickness, the bolts further will be restrained from [laterally swinging] any swinging movement which might tend to cut or strip the rectilinear threads 9.
