Abstract

A torque-limiting driving socket for a nut or bolt comprises a socket portion (4) which receives the nut or bolt head and a hexagonal driving portion (6) for engagement with a spanner or wrench. The driving portion (6) is connected to the socket portion (4) by a thin-walled annular zone which breaks upon the application of a predetermined torque to separate the driving portion (6) from the socket portion (4). The socket is integrally moulded in a plastics material and the torque characteristics can be modified by modifying the thickness of the annular zone (12) by the incorporation of suitable inserts into the mould.

Description

"TIGHTENING DEVICE FOR A THREADED FASTENER"
The present invention relates to a device for tightening a threaded fastener to a prescribed torque and more particularly, but not exclusively, to a device for tightening to a prescribed torque an expansion bolt or nut of a masonry anchor.
One well known form of masonry anchor comprises a sleeve which is expanded into engagement with the wall of a hole drilled into masonry by drawing an expansion element into the sleeve upon tightening of a bolt or nut of the anchor. When an anchor of this type is used in a high stress fixing application it is necessary that the bolt or nut is tightened to a specified torque. Although this can be achieved by using a torque wrench, these are not always readily available on a building site and, furthermore, even if a torque wrench has been used, it cannot be ascertained on subsequent inspection that the fastener has been tightened to the required torque.
There has been proposed in U.S. patent 4,144,796 a masonry anchor of the type described above, in which the bolt head carries a hexagonal tightening cap which is connected to the head by shear pins which shear at a predetermined torque applied between the cap and the head. The assembly of the cap to the bolt head by means of the shear pins significantly increases the cost of the masonry anchor and also a different bolt and shear pin combination (and hence a different anchor) needs to be provided for each different required torque setting.
There has also been proposed a torque limiting socket which can be placed over a bolt head or nut and which fails by tearing of the socket portion when a predetermined torque has been exceeded. Such a socket is disclosed in U.S. patent 4,215,600. In this previously proposed socket, failure takes place by tearing of the wall of the socket portion and it is not possible to control with accuracy the precise torque at which tearing occurs.
According to the present invention there is provided a tightening device for a threaded fastener such as a bolt or nut, comprising a socket portion for co-operation with the threaded fastener, a driving portion spaced from the socket portion and shaped for engagement by torque-applying means; and a torque-transmitting zone connecting the driving portion to the socket portion, said torque-transmitting zone being integral with the body portion and socket portion and adapted to shear at the application of a predetermined torque.
Advantageously, the torque-transmitting zone is of thin walled form, preferably of annular form.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the annular torque- transmitting zone is defined by an annular land extending between the base of an annular groove opening onto the external surface of the device and an axial bore within the interior of the device whereby the torque characteristics can be varied by changing the depth of the groove and/or the diameter of the bore. The driving portion preferably completely separates from the socket portion on shearing of the torque-transmitting zone, and advantageously, the socket portion is a tamper-resistant fit on the bolt head or nut whereby to remain attached to the bolt head or nut so as to provide visual indication of removal of the socket portion therefrom after shearing of the torque-transmitting zone.
An embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a side elevation of a torque limiting tightening device in accordance with the invention;
Figure 2 is an end elevation in the direction of arrow A in Figure 1;
Figure 3 is an end elevation in the direction of arrow B in Figure 1; and Figure 4 is a longitudinal section through the device. There is shown in the accompanying drawings a tightening device for a bolt or nut and more particularly, but not exclusively, for a bolt or nut of a masonry anchor of the type described above incorporating an expansion sleeve which is expanded by the application of torque to the bolt or nut to draw an expansion element into the sleeve. The tightening device is in the form of a torque limiting socket 2 comprising a socket portion 4 adapted to fit over the bolt head or nut and having an internal profile to provide driving engagement with the bolt head or nut, and axially spaced from the socket portion 4, a driving portion 6 having an external profile shaped to cooperate with a wrench or spanner. In the particular form shown, the driving portion 6 is of hexagonal shape. The driving portion 6 is of hollow construction to provide a cylindrical bore 8. The body of the socket between the driving portion 6 and the socket portion 4 includes an external annular groove 10 the base of which lies adjacent to the end portion of the cylindrical bore 8 whereby the groove 10 and bore 8 define a thin-walled annular zone or land 12 between the driving portion 6 and the socket portion 4 and via which torque is transmitted from the driving portion 6 to the socket portion 4. At the application of a predetermined torque, the thin-walled annular zone 12 will break whereby the driving portion 6 separates from the socket portion 4 thereby preventing the application of further torque.
The socket is integrally formed by moulding from a suitable plastics or alloy.
In the socket described, the torque-limiting function is achieved by shearing of a thin-walled zone and the torque at which shearing occurs is accurately determinable and is repeatable from sample to sample. In the form described in which the thickness of the thin-walled zone is determined by the width of the annular land 12 remaining between the base of the external groove 10 and the cylindrical wall of the internal bore 8, the torque characteristics can be varied simply by varying the width of the land 12 and hence by altering the depth of the groove 10 and/or the diameter of the bore 8. The depth of the groove 10 and the diameter of the bore 8 can be altered simply, by using a different insert in the relevant section of the mould. Accordingly a range of torque limiting sockets to suit different torque conditions can easily be achieved without effecting any significant redesign.
The socket portion 4 is so constructed as to remain attached to the bolt head or nut after the annular zone 12 has sheared and the driving portion 6 has separated from the socket portion 4 in order to provide a visual indication that the bolt or nut has been driven to the prescribed torque and hence that the masonry anchor has been correctly set. The external surface of the socket portion 4 is also of a profile (as shown a cylindrical profile), which ensures that it cannot easily be gripped by a wrench in order to apply additional torque directly to the socket portion 4 after shearing of the driving portion 6. In order to provide attachment of the socket portion 4 to the bolt head or nut so as to prevent easy removal after separation of the driving portion, the socket portion 4 may be sized to be a tight fit on the bolt head or nut, and/ or the socket portion 4 may include at its outer end lugs which snap into engagement over the remote edge of the bolt head or nut. Although neither or these measures will act to prevent removal of the socket portion 4 if sufficient force is applied, the application of force to remove the socket portion 4 will result either in marking of the socket portion 4 or breakage of the lugs so that if an operator attempts to remove the socket portion 4 to permit the application of additional torque directly to the bolt head or nut and then reapplies the sheared socket portion, there will be a visual indication that the socket portion 4 has been tampered with.
In the embodiment shown the retention of the socket portion 4 is achieved by shaping the internal profile of the socket portion 4 to provide a hexagonal profile with the sides of the hexagon being somewhat convex to provide high contact pressure with the flats of the bolt head or nut. Torque limiting driving sockets as described herein can be provided separately from the masonry anchors (or other components) with which they are to be used and no modification is required to the anchor itself. A range of sockets can be provided to suit different torque conditions and the individual sockets within the range can be colour-coded in order to permit ease of identification.
In an alternative, the torque limiting socket can be moulded around the head of a bolt whereby the head of the bolt is embedded within the socket portion 4 during manufacture.
The embodiment has been described by way of example only and modifications are possible within the scope of the invention.
