DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments for carrying out the present invention shown in the drawings.

According to a first embodiment for carrying out the present invention shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 11, reference number 1 represents a thrust nut of the present invention that can be thrust onto a bolt 2 to a predetermined position, and screwed together with a right screw portion 3 of the bolt 2, thereby being fastened and fixed, by being rotated in a fastening direction from the predetermined position. The thrust nut 1 is configured by: a nut main body 7 of which an outer wall 4 has a polygonal shape that is hexagonal according to the first embodiment, the nut main body 7 having a slanted hole 6 of which the inner diameter becomes successively smaller and a small-diameter end portion is formed into two or more stepped portions that are three stepped portions 5, 5A, and 5B according to the first embodiment of the present invention; three nut segments 8, 8, and 8 that are slidable within the slanted hole 6 of the nut main body 7, of which small-diameter side end portions 8a, 8a, and 8a are in contact with the stepped portions 5, 5A, and 5B, and pressing projection pieces 11, 11, and 11 are formed in center portions of large-diameter side end portions 8b, 8b, and 8b; right screw portions 9, 9, and 9 that are formed on the inner wall surfaces of the three nut segments 8, 8, and 8 such as to be continuous with the nut segments 8 that are in contact with the stepped portion 5 having the smallest diameter; guide pieces 10, 10, and 10 that are formed in an axial-center direction on the inner wall surfaces at end portion positions of the stepped portions 5, 5A, and 5B in the slanted hole 6 of the nut main body 7, between the nut segments 8, 8, and 8; a washer 26 that is disposed above the pressing projection pieces 11, 11, and 11 of the nut segments 8, 8, and 8; a bias spring 12 that uses a coil spring attached within the nut main body 7 such as to urge the nut segments 8, 8, and 8 towards the small-diameter side at all times with the washer 26, and the pressing projection pieces 11, 11, and 11 therebetween; a washer-shaped stopper piece 15 that holds the bias spring 12 within the nut main body 7, in which a bolt insertion hole 13 is formed, and is prevented from falling out by a rivet 14 in an end portion of the nut main body 7; a ring-shaped washer insertion piece 16 that is formed in an end portion on the small-diameter side of the nut main body 7; and a washer 19 into which the washer insertion piece 16 is inserted, that has screw insertion holes 18 and 18, and of which the tip portion is rotatably attached by a rivet 17.

In the thrust nut 1 configured as described above, the nut segments 8, 8, and 8 are set within the slanted hole 6 of the nut main body 7. The pressing projection pieces 11, 11, and 11 of the nut segments 8, 8, and 8 are pressed by the biasing force of the bias spring 12 with the washer 26 therebetween. The end portions 8a, 8a, and 8a on the small-diameter side of the nut segments 8, 8, and 8 are set such as to be pressed into the stepped portions 5, 5A and 5B. As a result, the nut segments 8, 8, and 8 are automatically disposed by the stepped portions 5, 5A, and 5B such that right screw portions 9, 9, and 9 of the nut segments 8, 8, and 8 are screwed with the right screw portion 3 of the bolt 2 in a continuous state.

In the thrust nut 1 assembled as described above, the bolt 2 is inserted into bolt holes 21 and 21 formed in wood members 20 and 20 that are fastening members to be connected as shown in FIG. 8. A washer 22 having screw insertion holes 18 and 18 is fixed to a head portion 2a of the bolt 2 by welding or the like. Screws 23 and 23 are inserted into the screw insertion holes 18 and 18 of the washer 22 and driven into the wood member 20, thereby fixing the washer 22 to the wood member 20. Thereafter, the thrust nut I is thrust onto the tip portion of the bolt 2 that projects from the bolt insertion hole 21. The screws 23 and 23 are inserted into the screw insertion holes 18 and 18 in the washer 19 as shown in FIG. 9 and driven into the wood member 20, thereby fixing the washer 19 to the wood member 20.

At this time, the nut segments 8, 8, and 8 within the nut main body 7 are pressed back against the biasing force of the bias spring 12 by the right screw portion 3 of the bolt 2. When the nut segments 8, 8, and 8 spread open, the bolt 2 smoothly passes through, and the thrusting of the thrust nut 1 is stopped, the biasing force of the bias spring 12 urges the nut segments 8, 8, and 8 towards the direction of the end portions 8a, 8a, and 8a on the small-diameter side, with the washer 26 and the pressing projection pieces 11, 11, and 11 of the nut segments 8, 8, and 8 therebetween. As a result, the nut segments 8, 8, and 8 are pressed back, with certainty, into to a position at which the right screw portion 3 of the bolt 2 and the right screw portions 9, 9, and 9 of the nut segments 8, 8, and 8 are screwed together.

In this state, when the nut main body 7 is rotated in the fastening direction as shown in FIG. 10, the nut segments 8, 8, and 8 are each urged towards the direction of the end portions 8a, 8a, and 8a on the small-diameter side with certainty by the biasing force of the bias spring 12, as shown in FIG. 11. The right screw portion 3 of the bolt 2 and the right screw portions 9, 9, and 9 of the nut segments 8, 8, and 8 are screwed together such as to be continuous, and the nut main body 7 can be fastened and fixed.

In an instance in which the wood members 20 and 20 that are fastening members contract during fastening and fixing, the nut main body 7 moves in the contracting direction via the washer 19. Therefore, the biasing force of the bias spring 12 is transmitted to the pressing projection pieces 11, 11, and 11 of the nut segments 8, 8, and 8 via the washer 26. The nut segments 8, 8, and 8 can be moved in the fastening direction with certainty, and automatically tightened.

[Other Embodiments for Carrying out the Invention]

Next, other embodiments for carrying out the present invention, shown in FIG. 12 to FIG. 20, will be described. In the description of the other embodiments for carrying out the present invention, constituent components that are the same as those according to the first embodiment for carrying out the present invention are given the same reference numbers. Redundant descriptions are omitted.

According to a second embodiment for carrying out the present invention shown in FIG. 12 to FIG. 14, the main difference with the first embodiment for carrying out the present invention is that nut-segments 8, 8A, and 8B, and wedge-shaped guide pieces 10A, 10A, and 10A are used. The upper end portions of the nut-segments 8, 8A, and 8B are on substantially the same plane in a state in which the nut segments 8, 8A, and 8B are housed within the slanted hole 6 of the nut main body 7. The guide pieces 10A, 10A, and 10A reduce the allowance of the nut segments 8, 8A, and 8B. A thrust nut 1A that is configured using the nut segments 8, 8A, and 8B, formed as described above, achieves working effects similar to those according to the first embodiment for carrying out the present invention. In addition, the biasing force of the bias spring 12 can he evenly transmitted to the nut segments 8, 8A, and 8B.

According to a third embodiment for carrying out the present invention shown in FIG. 15 to FIG. 17, the main difference with the first embodiment for carrying out the present invention is that a ring-shaped groove 24 is formed in an outer circumferential portion of the nut main body 7 on the small-diameter side, and a washer 19A is used in which reverse L-shaped engaging pieces 25 and 25 are formed. The engaging pieces 25 and 25 are engaged with the nut main body 7 in areas opposing the ring-shaped groove 24. A thrust nut 1B that is configured using the nut main body 7 in which the ring-shaped groove 24 is formed and the wisher 19A, formed as described above, can also achieve working effects similar to those according to the first it for carrying out the present invention.

According to a fourth embodiment for carrying out the present invention shown in FIG. 18 to FIG. 20, the main difference with the first embodiment for carrying out the present invention is that two stepped portions 5 and SA are formed in the small-diameter end portion of the slanted hole 6 of the nut main body 7, and pressing projection pieces 11 and 11A are formed that have differing heights, of which the lower end portions come into contact with the two stepped portions 5 and 5A, and the upper surfaces are on a same plane in the center portions of the large-diameter end portions 8b and 8b. In addition, two nut segments 8C and 8C are used that rotate integrally with the nut main body 7. A thrust nut 1C that is configured using the two nut segments 8C and 8D in this way can also achieve working effects similar to those according to the first embodiment for carrying out the present invention.

The stopper piece may be formed into a cylindrical shape as in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No 2012-47244. The stopper piece may be fitted and fixed such as to cover the nut main body 7, or may be fixed to the nut main body 7 by an adhesive or by welding.

In addition, although use of the bolt 2 in which the right screw portion 3 is formed is described, the present invention is not limited thereto. The thrust nut may be configured such that a bolt on which a left screw portion is formed can be used, by using nut segments in which left screw portions are formed that can be screwed together with the left screw portion of the bolt.

According to the embodiments of the present invention, a thrust nut in which the nut main body is integrally formed is described. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Similar working effects can be achieved even with a nut main body configured by an inner cylinder member of which the inner diameter becomes successively smaller and in which two or more stepped portions are formed in the small-diameter end portion, and an outer cylinder member of which the outer wall is formed into a polygonal shape, as disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2012-47244.

In addition, according to the embodiments of the present invention, materials of the components are not specified. However, materials that can be used for a nut, such as an iron material, various alloys, synthetic resin materials, carbon fiber materials, are selectively used.

Industrial Applicability

The present invention is used in an industry for manufacturing a thrust nut that is screwed together with a screw portion of a bolt by being rotated in a fastening direction after the bolt is inserted to a predetermined position.
