We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Threaded Fastener",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release A locking fastener that can be reused from
Spiralock, which we summarised at the time by saying "Kevin Peacock, Application Engineer for Spiralock, describes a screw thread fastening solution that is both self locking and reusable".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Access hardware comes together in HGV applications from
Southco: "Southco is bringing expertise honed in the automotive industry to offer a one-stop-shop solution for key touch points both inside and outside the cab of heavy goods vehicles".
In January 2006, we covered the news from Stock Drive Products/Sterling Instrument
concerning its A 9A45 and A 9B45 Series
- take a look at Oval handles come in aluminium or brass
which says: "A new series of oval shaped handles are stocked in both aluminium and brass".
Take a look also at the news release from Fastening Solutions, Automotive fasteners join the show,
as well as Self-locking fasteners answer medical demands from Spiralock,
and Open and shut case for quarter-turn locks from Emka UK.
