Embodiment Construction

[0088] Figure 1A A cross-sectional view of an assembly according to one embodiment of the invention is shown. The assembly 10 comprises a washer 11 assembled to a fastening nut 12 .

[0089] The gasket 11 comprises an annular base 15 and a surrounding substantially cylindrical skirt 13 arranged along an axis 14 on the outer periphery of the annular base 15 .

[0090] The skirt 13 and the annular base 15 form a cavity in which the collar 16 of the fastening nut 12 is housed. The collar 16 has a substantially cylindrical shape surrounding the axis 14 . The collar 16 extends axially through a substantially frustoconical portion 17 , the diameter of which decreases the farther it is from the collar 16 along the axis 14 .

[0091] The annular base 15 has a circular aperture 18 arranged along the axis 14 . Likewise, the fastening nut 12 passes axially through the threaded hole 19 . At the collar 16 a threaded bore 19 is axially extended by a counterbore 20 having a larger diame...

Abstract

The invention provides a leak-proof fastening device and an assembly method thereof. The leak-proof fastening device comprises an annular base (15) and a washer (11) of a substantially cylindrical skirt (13) at the outer periphery of the annular base. The annular base comprising a central orifice (18) coaxial with the axis (14) of the skirt, characterized in that the annular base is at least partially covered with a layer (21) of a viscous composition capable of forming a liquid-tight coating through polymerization. When installing a nut having such a washer onto a male fastener such as a pin (33), the spreading of the viscous layer makes it possible to fill in the gaps (36) of the assembly, the polymerization of the composition ensuring its leak-tightness afterwards.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a bolt / nut type fastening device. More particularly, the present invention relates to a leak-proof fastening device. The invention is particularly applicable in the field of aeronautics. Background technique [0002] The use of pin / nut or lockbolt / collar fastenings is very common in the aerospace industry, especially for joining two structural components together. Such attachments are generally required to be impermeable to prevent liquid or gas leakage, such as in fuel tanks, or to avoid the presence of moisture, which can cause corrosion of the assembled components. [0003] To achieve this leak-tightness, a known solution is to apply a sealant between the male fastener (bolt or bolt) and the hole in which it is held. After installation of the appropriate female fastening device (nut or collar), the sealant hardens due to polymerization of its components, which ensures that the fastener / structural assembly is leak-...
