Abstract

A frangible fastener system configured to secure a second retained member to a first retained member until the frangible fastener system receives a breaking force is described. The frangible fastener system comprises a first fastener and a second fastener. The first fastener comprises a flange configured to cause retention of the first retained member toward a base member. The first fastener is configured to engage the base member and to receive the second fastener along a first axis of the frangible faster system. The second fastener comprises a frangible portion configured to separate responsive to receiving the breaking force, and a head portion connected to the frangible portion. The head portion is configured to cause retention of the second retained member toward the first retained member until the frangible portion separates responsive to receiving the breaking force.

Claims (28)

1. A frangible fastener system comprising a first fastener configured to secure a first retained member to a base member, and a second fastener configured to couple with the first fastener along a first axis of the fastener system and secure a second retained member to the first retained member until receiving a breaking force such that a first end of the second fastener separates from the first fastener, and the second retained member separates from the first retained member responsive to the fastener system receiving the breaking force, wherein the second fastener comprises:

a frangible portion located toward the first end of the second fastener configured to separate responsive to receiving the breaking force; and

a tool engagement portion configured to engage a tightening tool, the tool engagement portion located adjacent to the frangible portion toward a second end of the second fastener along the first axis, the tool engagement portion and the second end of the second fastener remaining coupled with the first fastener after the first end of the second fastener separates from the first fastener;

wherein the first fastener comprises:

a first head portion located at a first end of the first fastener, the first head portion comprising:

a first threaded portion located at the first end of the first fastener and extending along the first axis toward a second end of the first fastener, the first threaded portion configured to receive the second end of the second fastener; and

a flange configured to abut the first retained member;

a body located adjacent to the first head portion toward the second end of the first fastener along the first axis; and

a second threaded portion located adjacent to the body at the second end of the first fastener along the first axis configured to pass through an orifice in the first retained member and engage corresponding threads in the base member along the first axis such that the flange causes retention of the first retained member toward the base member.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the flange is located between the first retained member and the second retained member when the first fastener secures the first retained member to the base member and the second fastener secures the second retained member to the first retained member.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the flange has a first side toward the first end of the first fastener and a second side toward the second end of the first fastener, the second side of the flange configured to abut the first retained member.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first threaded portion forms an internal recess in the first head portion.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second fastener further comprises:

a second head portion located at the first end of the second fastener; wherein the frangible portion is located adjacent to the second head portion toward the second end of the second fastener along the first axis; and

a third threaded portion located adjacent to the tool engagement portion at the second end of the second fastener along the first axis configured to engage the first threaded portion of the first fastener and cause retention of the second retained member toward the first retained member to secure the second retained member to the first retained member.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein the third threaded portion is configured to cause retention of the second retained member toward the first retained member to secure the second retained member to the first retained member until the frangible portion separates responsive to receiving the breaking force.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the second head portion forms a channel configured to receive the tightening tool, and wherein the frangible portion is configured to conduct the tightening tool from the channel in the second head portion to the to the tool engagement portion through a conduit formed by the frangible portion to facilitate tightening the third threaded portion in the first threaded portion.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the second fastener is configured such that the tool engagement portion and the third threaded portion are removable from the first fastener via engagement with the tightening tool before and after separation of the first end of the second fastener from the first fastener.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein a length of the first fastener along the first axis is longer than a length of the second faster along the first axis.

10. A frangible fastener system configured to secure a second retained member to a first retained member until the frangible fastener system receives a breaking force, the frangible fastener system comprising a first fastener and a second fastener, wherein

the first fastener comprises a flange configured to cause retention of the first retained member toward a base member and is configured to engage the base member and to receive the second fastener along a first axis of the frangible faster system; and wherein

the second fastener comprises:

a frangible portion configured to separate responsive to receiving the breaking force; and

a head portion connected to the frangible portion and configured to cause retention of the second retained member toward the first retained member until the frangible portion separates responsive to receiving the breaking force.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the second fastener further comprises a tool engagement portion configured to engage a tightening tool, the tool engagement portion located adjacent to the frangible portion toward an end of the second fastener located toward the first fastener along the first axis which remains coupled with the first fastener after the frangible portion of the second fastener separates.

12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the second fastener is configured such that the tool engagement portion and the end of the second fastener located toward the first fastener are removable from the first fastener via engagement with the tightening tool before and after separation of the head portion of the second fastener from the first fastener.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first fastener receives the second fastener via corresponding threads on the first fastener and the second fastener.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the first retained member comprises a container and a girt, and the second retained member comprises a cover.
