Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A penetrated floating nut includes: a first retaining member including a cylindrical first cylindrical section and a first flange section provided at one end portion of the first cylindrical section; a second retaining member including a cylindrical second cylindrical section and a second flange section provided at one end portion of the second cylindrical section, the second cylindrical section being joined to the first cylindrical section of the first retaining member; and a nut housed in the first cylindrical section of the first retaining member with a gap therebetween and including a third flange section at one end portion of the nut and further including rotation stopping means between the nut and the first cylindrical section of the first retaining member, the third flange section being housed in the second cylindrical section of the second retaining member with a gap therebetween and being capable of contacting an end surface of the first cylindrical section of the first retaining member. A bolt fastened to the nut is capable of penetrating through the penetrated floating nut from the first retaining member side to the second retaining member side.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A penetrated floating nut, comprising: a first retaining member including a cylindrical first cylindrical section and a first flange section provided at one end portion of the first cylindrical section; a second retaining member including a cylindrical second cylindrical section and a second flange section provided at one end portion of the second cylindrical section, the second cylindrical section being joined to the first cylindrical section of the first retaining member; and a nut housed in the first cylindrical section of the first retaining member with a gap therebetween and including a third flange section at one end portion of the nut and further including rotation stopping means between the nut and the first cylindrical section of the first retaining member, the third flange section being housed in the second cylindrical section of the second retaining member with a gap therebetween and being capable of contacting an end surface of the first cylindrical section of the first retaining member, wherein a bolt fastened to the nut is capable of penetrating through the penetrated floating nut from the first retaining member side to the second retaining member side. 2 . The penetrated floating nut according to claim 1 , wherein the rotation stopping means permits the nut to move relative to the first retaining member in an axial direction and directions perpendicular thereto within predetermined ranges. 3 . The penetrated floating nut according to claim 1 , wherein the second flange section is formed at one end of the second cylindrical section to extend radially inward and supports the third flange section when the bolt is not fastened. 4 . The penetrated floating nut according to claim 1 , wherein a recess in which to fill an adhesive is formed in an inner wall of the first cylindrical section.
