Connector element anchoring kit with thermoplastic sleeve for mounting holes
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11919248B2) discloses a connector element anchoring kit designed to be anchored in a receiving object. The kit includes a connector element made of a non-thermoplastic material with a body featuring a distal end for insertion into a mounting hole and a proximal end with a connector interface. The kit also comprises a sleeve made of a thermoplastic material to enclose the connector element, with a perforated distal end collar to enhance the flow of liquefied thermoplastic material.
Furthermore, the sleeve of the connector element anchoring kit includes features such as axially separated shoulder portions for engaging with support faces, an inner cross-section smaller than the distal end collar, and a proximal end liquefaction collar. The connector element is pre-mounted in the sleeve to form a friction-bondable assembly, allowing for interlocking engagement in a bonding start position. Additionally, the sleeve is designed with an expansion slot for radial expansion and is substantially circular in a section perpendicular to the insertion axis, aligning with the first connector interface being a female connector interface with an internal thread for screw engagement.
