A fastener including a pin member having a shank portion, a threaded portion having a thread, a lock portion having at least one lock groove, and a pull portion located having at least one pull groove. The threaded portion is adapted to be engaged threadedly with a threaded hole of a workpiece to install the pin member therein. The fastener includes a swage collar adapted to be installed into the at least one lock groove of the lock portion to secure a plurality of workpieces. The pull portion is adapted to break off when the fastener is installed.
1. A fastener, comprising:
a pin member including
an elongated shank portion having
a first end,
a second end opposite the first end,
a smooth cylindrical shank portion having a first end and a second end opposite the first end of the smooth cylindrical shank portion,
a threaded portion located adjacent to the first end of the smooth cylindrical shank portion and proximate to the first end of the elongated shank portion and having a thread,
a pull portion located at the second end of the elongated shank portion and having at least one pull groove, and
a lock portion located adjacent to the second end of the smooth cylindrical shank portion,
wherein the lock portion includes
at least one lock groove,
a first end,
a second end opposite the first end of the lock portion, and
a first width longitudinally extending from the first end of the
lock portion to the second end of the lock portion; and
a collar,
wherein the collar includes
a first end,
a second end opposite the first end of the collar, and
a second width longitudinally extending from the first end of the collar to the second end of the collar,
wherein the second width of the collar is equal to or greater than the first width of the lock portion.
2. The fastener of claim 1 , wherein the collar is a swage collar configured to be swaged into the at least one lock groove of the lock portion of the pin member.
3. The fastener of claim 2 , wherein the at least one lock groove of the lock portion of the pin member includes a plurality of lock grooves.
4. The fastener of claim 1 , wherein the elongated shank portion of the pin member includes a breakneck groove located between the lock portion and the pull portion.
5. The fastener of claim 4 , wherein the pull portion is configured to break off from the pin member at the breakneck groove.
6. The fastener of claim 5 , wherein a remainder of the breakneck groove of the pull portion after the pull portion is broken off from the pin member is configured to be flush or substantially flush with the first end of the collar.
7. The fastener of claim 1 , wherein the at least one pull groove of the pull portion of the pin member includes a plurality of pull grooves.
8. The fastener of claim 1 , wherein the fastener is configured to secure at least first and second workpieces to one another, wherein the first workpiece includes a hole extending from a first side thereof to a second side thereof opposite the first side, the hole being sized and shaped to receive the pin member therethrough, and wherein the second workpiece includes a threaded hole extending within a first side thereof, the threaded hole being sized and shaped and configured to receive threadedly the thread of the threaded portion of the pin member when the pin member is in an installed position.
9. The fastener of claim 8 , wherein the lock portion of the pin member is configured to protrude from the first side of the first workpiece and the collar is configured to be positioned on the lock portion of the pin member and adjacent to the first side of the first workpiece when the pin member is in its installed position.
