A NUT AND TAIL ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF SAID TAIL INCLUDING A RIGID OUTER SLEEVE

摘要

A nut and tail assembly (10) and method of manufacture including a nut (12) having a first end and an inward flange (24) at the other end, a longitudina l cylindrical hollow body (14) having a first end and a second end at which is located an outstanding flange (40) and a circular longitudinal sleeve (16). The sleeve (16) extends along said sliding surface and has a flange (44) at a first end abutting against the body flange (24). A stop (34) is located between the ends of the body (14) and defines a cavity sliding surface generally parallel to the longitudinal body between the stop (34) and flange (44). The nut inward flange (24) extends into the body cavity and is of a large enough diameter to be able to slide on said body sliding surface but small enough to be held within said cavity defined between said stop (34) an d sleeve flange (44). Projections (50) on the sleeve flange (44) assist in locating the sleeve (16) relative to the nut (12) during the moulding proces s.
