Independent Claim
129 words
THE METHOD OF INSTALLING WITHIN A CARRIER PART AN ELEMENT HAVING AN EXTERNAL THREAD AND HAVING AT LEAST ONE AXIALL OUTWARDLY FACING ROTARY DRIVE RECESS; SAID METHOD INCLUDING ENGAGING WITH SAID ELEMENT A TOOL HAVING A DRIVE PROJECTING EXTENDING INTO SAID RECESS IN ROTARY DRIVING RELATION, TURNING THE TOOL AND THEREBY TURNING SAID ELEMENT AND SCREWING IT INTO THE CARRIER PARY BY ENGAGEMENT OF THE DRIVE PROJECTION WITH THE ELEMENT WITHIN SAID RECESS, THEN DISPLACING SAID TOOL AND SAID DRIVE PROJECTION THEREOF AXIALLY RELATIVE TO THE ELEMENT AND CARRIER PART, AND THEREBY DEEPENING SAID RECESS BY SAID PROJECTION AND LOCALLY DISPLACING AXIALLY A PREDETERMINED PORTION OF A TURN OF SAID EXTERNAL THREAD RELATIVE TO A CIRCULARLY OFFSET PORTION OF THE SAME TURN TO LOCK THE ELEMENT AGAINST UNSCREWING ROTATION.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
129 words
THE METHOD OF INSTALLING WITHIN A CARRIER PART AN ELEMENT HAVING AN EXTERNAL THREAD AND HAVING AT LEAST ONE AXIALL OUTWARDLY FACING ROTARY DRIVE RECESS; SAID METHOD INCLUDING ENGAGING WITH SAID ELEMENT A TOOL HAVING A DRIVE PROJECTING EXTENDING INTO SAID RECESS IN ROTARY DRIVING RELATION, TURNING THE TOOL AND THEREBY TURNING SAID ELEMENT AND SCREWING IT INTO THE CARRIER PARY BY ENGAGEMENT OF THE DRIVE PROJECTION WITH THE ELEMENT WITHIN SAID RECESS, THEN DISPLACING SAID TOOL AND SAID DRIVE PROJECTION THEREOF AXIALLY RELATIVE TO THE ELEMENT AND CARRIER PART, AND THEREBY DEEPENING SAID RECESS BY SAID PROJECTION AND LOCALLY DISPLACING AXIALLY A PREDETERMINED PORTION OF A TURN OF SAID EXTERNAL THREAD RELATIVE TO A CIRCULARLY OFFSET PORTION OF THE SAME TURN TO LOCK THE ELEMENT AGAINST UNSCREWING ROTATION.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
155 words
A TOOL FOR INSTALLING WITHIN A CARRIER PART AND ELEMENT HAVING AN EXTERNAL THREAD AND CONTAINING A ROTARY DRIVE RECESS SAID TOOL INCLUDING SAID ELEMENT AND THEREMOVABLE TOOLL BODY ADAPTED TO TURN SAID ELEMENT AND THEREBY SCREW IT INTO SAID CARRIER PART AND ADAPTED TO THEN BE DRIVEN AXIALLY RELATIVE TO SAID ELEMENT, A ROTARY DRIVE PROJECTION ON SAID BODY RECEIVABLE WITHIN SAID RECESS TO TRANSMIT ROTARY MOTION FORM SAID BODY TO THE ELEMEN, AND A SECOND PROJECTION ON SAID BODY PROJECING AXIALLY TOWARD SAID ELEMENT ENGAGEABLE AXIALLY AGAINST SAID ELEMENT AT A LOCATION OFFSET DRIVE PROJECTION EXTENDING AXIALLY TOWARD TION, SAID ROTARY DRIVE PROJECTION EXTENDING AXIALLY TOWARD SAID ELEMENT FARTHER THAN SAID SECOND PROJECTION, AT LEAST ONE OF SAID PROJECTIONS BEING POSITIONED ADJACENT SAID EXTERNAL THREAD AT A LOCATION TO LOCALLY DISPLACE A PORTION OF SAID THREAD AXIALLY RELATIVE TO ANOTHER PORTION OF THE SAME TURN UPON SAID AXIAL DRIVING OF THE TOOL BODY.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
155 words
A TOOL FOR INSTALLING WITHIN A CARRIER PART AND ELEMENT HAVING AN EXTERNAL THREAD AND CONTAINING A ROTARY DRIVE RECESS SAID TOOL INCLUDING SAID ELEMENT AND THEREMOVABLE TOOLL BODY ADAPTED TO TURN SAID ELEMENT AND THEREBY SCREW IT INTO SAID CARRIER PART AND ADAPTED TO THEN BE DRIVEN AXIALLY RELATIVE TO SAID ELEMENT, A ROTARY DRIVE PROJECTION ON SAID BODY RECEIVABLE WITHIN SAID RECESS TO TRANSMIT ROTARY MOTION FORM SAID BODY TO THE ELEMEN, AND A SECOND PROJECTION ON SAID BODY PROJECING AXIALLY TOWARD SAID ELEMENT ENGAGEABLE AXIALLY AGAINST SAID ELEMENT AT A LOCATION OFFSET DRIVE PROJECTION EXTENDING AXIALLY TOWARD TION, SAID ROTARY DRIVE PROJECTION EXTENDING AXIALLY TOWARD SAID ELEMENT FARTHER THAN SAID SECOND PROJECTION, AT LEAST ONE OF SAID PROJECTIONS BEING POSITIONED ADJACENT SAID EXTERNAL THREAD AT A LOCATION TO LOCALLY DISPLACE A PORTION OF SAID THREAD AXIALLY RELATIVE TO ANOTHER PORTION OF THE SAME TURN UPON SAID AXIAL DRIVING OF THE TOOL BODY.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
