Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A threaded insert arrangement for securing a threaded insert to a plate having a high directional stress therein, for later holding at attachment thereto comprising: a plate having a directional stress therein parallel to the surface of said plate; a cylindrical opening through said plate; an insert having a cylindrical body, an internal longitudinally extending threaded bore, and a shoulder extending radially beyond said cylindrical body for abutment with said plate; a restraining recess in said plate contiguous with said cylindrical opening and centered about a line which intersects the central axis parallel to said directional stress; and a portion of said insert located so as to be deformable into said restraining recess.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
A threaded insert arrangement for securing a threaded insert to a plate having a high directional stress therein, for later holding at attachment thereto comprising: a plate having a directional stress therein parallel to the surface of said plate; a cylindrical opening through said plate; an insert having a cylindrical body, an internal longitudinally extending threaded bore, and a shoulder extending radially beyond said cylindrical body for abutment with said plate; a restraining recess in said plate contiguous with said cylindrical opening and centered about a line which intersects the central axis parallel to said directional stress; and a portion of said insert located so as to be deformable into said restraining recess.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A threaded insert arrangement as in claim 1: said restraining recess comprising a recess only partly through the thickness of said plate, and having an edge in the form of a partial cylinder.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
52 words
A threaded insert arrangement as in claim 1: said insert having an unthreaded extension extending beyond said threads at the end opposite said shoulder; said extension located adjacent said retaining recess when said insert is placed within said cylindrical opening; and at least a portion of said extension deformed into said recess.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
A threaded insert arrangement as in claim 3: said unthreaded extension comprising a cylindrical extension.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
A threaded insert arrangement as in claim 1: a second restraining recess contiguous with said cylindrical opening located 180 degrees from the other restraining recess, whereby both recesses are and centered about a line which intersects the central axis parallel to said directional stress.
