Method of forming a sealing sleeve joint construction

摘要

A sleeve member for positioning between the fastener and work pieces within aligned holes through the work pieces. The sleeve member has a tubular side wall with outwardly directed bends formed therein which are partially flattened out during the assembly of the fastener in the work pieces so that the natural resiliency of the sleeve member compensates for discrepancies in the holes and fastener and which may be coated with a sealant prior to assembly so that the bends act as reservoirs for the sealant to insure sealing of the fastener joint.
