20150300533 | STACKABLE FASTENER - A hybrid stackable fastener is provided for mounting to a substrate having a threaded hole. The hybrid stackable fastener is constructed to support stackable fasteners not having a threaded element. The hybrid stackable fastener has a body having a central bore defining a central axis. The central bore is tapered so as to have a diameter smaller at the bore's proximal end than toward its distal end. The hybrid stackable fastener further includes a bolt having a screw thread which extends distally from the body's central bore. Preferably, the fastener includes a plurality of spokes which radially project from the body so as to support a concentric ring. | 10-22-2015 |
20150300532 | STACKABLE FASTENER - A stackable fastener is provided for mounting to a substrate having a non-threaded hole or for affixing to similar fasteners. The stackable fastener includes a body having a central bore, and a force member rotatable within the body's central bore. In addition, the fastener includes a plurality of fingers which extend axially from the fastener's body. Rotation of the force member causes the fingers to extend radially outward to lock within a substrate hole or within the central bore of a similar stackable fastener. | 10-22-2015 |
20150300396 | FASTENER ASSEMBLY FOR INSULATION BLANKET - A fastener assembly for affixing insulation blankets to a substrate is provided. The fastener assembly includes an attachment member having a construction for affixing to a substrate as well as a first fastener member preferably in the form of a male threaded stud. The fastener assembly further includes a cap fastener. The cap fastener includes a cap member and a second fastener member preferably in the form of a female threaded extension for threadably affixing to the first fastener member. The cap member has an exterior side and an interior side. The cap member's exterior side preferably has a shape for rotation by a tool. Meanwhile, the cap member's interior side has a circular recess concentric with the cap fastener's female threaded extension. When assembled, the circular recess forms a circular insulating cavity between the cap member and an insulation blanket. | 10-22-2015 |
