Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An external surface for a fastener insert to be embedded in a component includes a plurality of spaced rings surrounding a embeddable shank of the insert. The rings define a plurality of waves. The ring height can be increased progressively from a distal end of the insert to the rings nearest the head of the insert, thereby providing a generally tapered outer configuration for the insert.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A fastener insert, comprising: a monolithic body having: a head and a distal end; an embeddable shank having an external surface and an axial opening from said head through said distal end, said shank configured to be inserted, embedded, and locked into a mating component; a plurality of discrete, non-threaded, non-expanding spaced apart rings projecting from said external surface and extending around said shank; and each said ring defining a pluralit…
