<p>A module (5), designed to respond to a specific compressive force, comprising: a two- part deflection ring (25) consisting of upper and lower components (10, 15); an outer casing portion (30); and a fluid-filled capsule (40) positioned between the lower component (15) of the deflection ring and the outer casing portion, placed between a force-applying component exemplified by, but not confined to, a nut, bolt, screw, rivet or cam-locking handle and the assembly it is designed to tighten. As the required force is reached the capsule ruptures, releasing the fluid.</p> |
