Image screws.jpg thumb 275px Typical fasteners coin shown for scale refimprove date February 2009 A fastener is a hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together. Fasteners can also be used to close a container such as a bag, a box, or an envelope or they may involve keeping together the sides of an opening of flexible material, attaching a Lid container lid to a container, etc. There are also special purpose closing devices, e.g. a bread clip . Fasteners used in these manners are often temporary, in that they may be fastened and unfastened repeatedly. Some types of woodworking joints make use of separate internal reinforcements, such as dowels or biscuits, which in a sense can be considered fasteners within the scope of the joint system, although on their own they are not general purpose fasteners. Furniture supplied in flat pack form often uses cam dowel s locked by cam lock s, also known as conformat fasteners. Items like a rope , string, wire e.g. metal wire, possibly coated with plastic, or multiple parallel wires kept together by a plastic strip coating , cable , Link chain chain , or plastic wrap may be used to mechanically join objects but are not generally ... that the United States fastener industry runs 350 manufacturing plants and employs 40,000 ... fastener industry The industry today url http www.industrial fasteners.org industry.html accessdate ... bolt DIN 6914 with DIN 6916 washer and UNI 5587 nut. batten brass fastener buckle button Captive fastener Clamp tool clamp or cramp clasp Bocklebee clasp Cleko clip circlip paper clip clutch pin fastener ... rubber band or bands of other materials screw anchor Self clinching Snap fastener snap staple fastener staple sewing stitches Strap Binding straps strap thumbtack tack threaded fastener captive threaded ...

Image Split Pins.png thumb 250px Some brass fasteners. Note the two legs of different length. refimprove date August 2007 A brass fastener , brad , or split pin is a stationery item used for securing multiple sheets of paper together. The fastener is inserted into hole puncher punched holes in the stack of paper and the leaves, or tines , of the legs are separated and bent over to secure the paper. This holds the pin in place and the sheets of paper together. For few sheets of paper, holes can be made using the sharp end of the fastener. A split pin may be used in place of Staple fastener staple s, but is more commonly used in situations where rotation around the joint is desirable. This lends split pins to use in mobile paper and Paperboard cardboard models. It is shaped somewhat like a nail with a round head and flat, split length. Brass fasteners are made of a soft metal such as brass and the tines are typically of two slightly different lengths. This allows easy separation of the tines. A brass fastener is similar in design and function to the mechanical counterpart cotter pin s. Brass fasteners are also an industry standard in binding the screenplay s in the film industries across the globe. Brass fasteners are often used as modern scrapbooking embellishments and in Duo Tang brand paper folders.

Captive fasteners are an engineered class of fastener designed for a permanent hold captivation within a target assembly or housing, including upon servicing. They provide a secure joining, and avoid fastener loss or damage that might be caused by a loose part. Many captive fasteners use thread locking, press fitting, or Broaching metalworking broaching to accomplish their anchor hold within the larger assembly housing. However, some captive fasteners meld with the material into which they are joined, either through cold forming or welding . ref cite web title Machinery s Handbook url http en.wikipedia.org wiki Machinery s Handbook publisher industrialpress.com ref ref cite web title Industrial Fasteners Institute IFI url http www.indfast.org publisher indfast.org ref References reflist External links commons Captive Fastener http www.accuratescrew.com Captive Screws.aspx Accurate Screw Machine http www.alcoa.com fastening systems aerospace en product category.asp?cat id 215 Alcoa Fastening Systems http www.captive fastener.com Captive Fastener.com http www.southco.com browse captive screws 7340.html Southco Category Fasteners ... more details

A pyrotechnic fastener also called an explosive bolt , or pyro , within context is a fastener , usually a nut or bolt, that incorporates a Explosive material pyrotechnic charge that can be initiated remotely. One or more explosive charges embedded within the bolt are typically activated by an Electricity electric current, and the charge breaks the bolt into two or more pieces. The bolt is typically scored around its circumference at the point s where the severance should occur. ref AMCP 706 179 pg 108 ref Such bolts are often used in space applications to ensure separation between rocket stages, because they are lighter and much more reliable than mechanical Latch hardware latches . The term explosive bolt is sometimes used colloquially to describe pyrotechnic fasteners in general, regardless of the actual fastener employed. For example, it has been stated that the Space Shuttle was held to the launch pad with explosive bolts, Citation needed date November 2011 when frangible nut s were actually used. For safety and reliability, exploding bridgewire detonator s and slapper detonator s are often used in aerospace technology instead of classical blasting cap s. More recent developments have used pulsed laser diode s to detonate pyrotechnic initiator initiator s through fiber optic cable s, which subsequently fire the main charge. Gas generator s are close cousins of pyrotechnic fasteners. They are used to generate large amounts of gas, as for turbopumps, to inflate balloons, especially airbags to eject parachutes and for similar applications. Compositions used Various pyrotechnic compositions can be used, depending on the desired burn rate and required amount of energy and volume of gas produced. Some materials, such as RDX , Sublimation chemistry sublimate in vacuum, which limits their usefulness in aerospace applications. Composition with the character of bipropellant s and flash powder s are often used. Fact date April 2008 Standard pyrotechnic mixtures used by NASA ... more details
