Problems solved by technology

However, such self-aligning fasteners can still be problematic
[0005] Additionally, the various brake components may inadvertently deform during shipping causing further misalignment between the mechanical fasteners and the brake components
As a result, the initial engagement between fastening components may not be optimal, leading to wasted and scrapped braking components due to cross-thread connections

Abstract

The present invention provides a brake-line fastener adapted for secure engagement of a vehicle braking component with a tubular member, the brake-line fastener including an operator interface and a directional surface associated with one end of the brake-line fastener for rapid manual engagement between the brake-line fastener and the braking component utilizing a complementary threaded receiver.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to mechanical fasteners for vehicle braking systems. More particularly, the present invention relates to an improved tubular fastener and method of connecting a brake line to a brake module associated with a vehicle braking system. Background technique [0002] Vehicle brake line fasteners are well known and subject to various industry specifications. Many of these known fasteners include bores adapted to receive various brake components, including enlarged end brake lines. Generally, to receive these brake components, brake line fasteners are provided to press the enlarged ends of these brake components against the elongated tapered ends of adjacent mating components, thereby securing the respective components in an environmentally-tight manner. [0003] However, many of these brake line fasteners suffer from disadvantages that are addressed by the present invention. For example, some brake line fasteners are connected across...
