Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A fastener comprising a composite core having an enlarged head portion at one end and a shank portion at the other end said head portion being of a diameter greater than that of said shank portion, and a metal sleeve encapsulating the shank portion of said core and a portion of the head portion and an outer surface of said sleeve being threaded for the acceptance of a nut, said metal sleeve being spaced axially from an axial end face of the head portion whereby said metal sleeve is electrically isolated from the end surface on the head portion of said fastener.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
A fastener comprising a composite core having an enlarged head portion at one end and a shank portion at the other end said head portion being of a diameter greater than that of said shank portion, and a metal sleeve encapsulating the shank portion of said core and a portion of the head portion and an outer surface of said sleeve being threaded for the acceptance of a nut, said metal sleeve being spaced axially from an axial end face of the head portion whereby said metal sleeve is electrically isolated from the end surface on the head portion of said fastener.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A composite core fastener in accordance with claim 1 wherein said core comprises a plurality of electrically conductive fibers electrically isolated from one another and from said metal sleeve by a nonconductive resin matrix.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
123 words
A composite core fastener comprising an inner composite core having an enlarged head portion at one end and a shank portion at the other end said head portion being of a diameter greater than that of said shank portion, a metal sleeve encapsulating the shank portion of said fastener and a portion of the head portion thereof, said metal sleeve terminating below an upper end surface of the head portion of said fastener, and a nonconductive sheath interposed between the composite shank portion and metal sleeve of said fastener to further electrically isolate said metal sleeve from the upper end surface of the head portion of said fastener and an outer surface of said sleeve being threaded for the acceptance of a nut.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
