HYBRID METAL POLYMER INTERLOCK

摘要

A mechanical coupling assembly that includes a primary substrate having at least one aperture formed therein. A secondary substrate includes at least one mechanical interlock monolithically formed with the secondary substrate. The at least one mechanical interlock extends through the aperture. The mechanical interlock includes a main body and a head portion with a transition portion connecting the main body and head portions. The main body includes a bore formed longitudinally therein about a centerline of the aperture. The mechanical interlock joins the primary substrate and secondary substrate mechanically.

1. A mechanical coupling assembly comprising:
a primary substrate having at least one aperture formed therein, the primary substrate including a first surface and opposing second surface separated by a material thickness; a secondary substrate including at least one mechanical interlock monolithically formed with the secondary substrate, the at least one mechanical interlock extending through the aperture and spanning the first and second surfaces, the mechanical interlock including a main body disposed proximate the first surface and a head portion disposed proximate the second surface and a transition portion connecting the main body and head portion; wherein the main body includes a bore formed longitudinally therein about a centerline of the aperture and the primary substrate and secondary substrate are mechanically joined.
