Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
99 words
The method of setting a fastener with includes a male and female member adapted to be threaded together with one of the members having a generally uniform, cylindrical surface means for being gripped, comprising the steps of: gripping the one member on its uniform surface means with the jaw means of a tool to effect said gripping, rotating the one member to thread it relatively to the other by rotating the jaw means, and continuously moving said jaw means radially inwardly in an interreacting actuation to torque and alternately crimp said one member at its uniform cylindrical surface means.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
99 words
The method of setting a fastener with includes a male and female member adapted to be threaded together with one of the members having a generally uniform, cylindrical surface means for being gripped, comprising the steps of: gripping the one member on its uniform surface means with the jaw means of a tool to effect said gripping, rotating the one member to thread it relatively to the other by rotating the jaw means, and continuously moving said jaw means radially inwardly in an interreacting actuation to torque and alternately crimp said one member at its uniform cylindrical surface means.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
101 words
The method of providing a fastened joint which includes male and female threaded members connected together with a desired pretension and with one of the members having a generally uniform cylindrical surface means for being gripped, comprising the steps of: gripping the one member on its uniform surface means with the jaw means of a tool to effect said gripping, rotating the one member to thread it relatively to the other by rotating the jaw means, and generally continuously moving the same said jaw means radially inwardly to crimp the one member at its uniform surface and form said desired pretension.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
101 words
The method of providing a fastened joint which includes male and female threaded members connected together with a desired pretension and with one of the members having a generally uniform cylindrical surface means for being gripped, comprising the steps of: gripping the one member on its uniform surface means with the jaw means of a tool to effect said gripping, rotating the one member to thread it relatively to the other by rotating the jaw means, and generally continuously moving the same said jaw means radially inwardly to crimp the one member at its uniform surface and form said desired pretension.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 1 wherein, said jaw means are actuable for alternately gripping and crimping said one of the members.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method of claim 3 wherein, said jaw means are actuable for alternately gripping and crimping said one of the members.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 1 wherein, said jaw means are comprised of four separate jaw member elements operative to torque and finally crimp said one member.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
