International Classification:

F16B 19/00

US Classification:

Abstract:

A swage collar and an internal sealing insert form a swage collar assembly used in combination with a structural fastener to prevent leakage through a connection of workpieces fastened together by the structural fastener. The swage collar has a hollow, generally cylindrical main body portion with a main central bore, and a base portion with an internal shoulder formed in the main central bore so as to form a seal receiving guide. The shaft of the fastener typically includes a threaded section and an unthreaded section, and the internal sealing insert interfaces with the threaded section and the unthreaded section of the shaft of the pin. In an alternate embodiment, the internal sealing insert interfaces with the unthreaded section of shaft of the pin. The swage collar assembly is fitted over the fastener, a swaging tool is fitted over the swage collar assembly, and the swaging tool is forced over the swage collar assembly with sufficient force to cause plastic deformation in the swaging collar to force the swaging collar and internal sealing insert into engagement with the shaft of the fastener.

Appl. No.:

13/586834

Inventors:

International Classification:

A01G 9/16

US Classification:

Abstract:

A suspended, portable, tilting garden on a frame with a greenhouse and nutrient capturing capabilities solves the issues of poor soil, limited gardening space, portability, limited sunlight and cool temperatures, excess water usage and handicap accessibility. The garden also solves issues of flooding, loss of nutrients, ground pests and rodents. The medium is controlled because there is no walking space needed, allowing growing in the entire surface of the garden. The garden is on wheels so it is fully portable. The garden tilts to take full advantage of the sun and it has a greenhouse cover with passive and active solar heat distribution. Since the garden is raised, it is wheelchair accessible and makes it easy for elderly to stand and garden.
