Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP4358323
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A pre-assembled workpiece (100) such as a plastic component is fastenable to a mounting surface (12) of a second workpiece (10) such as a metal automotive engine. The pre-assembled workpiece (100) includes an opening (102) extending therebetween an outer surface (101) and a mounting surface (106). A sleeve member (120) is retainably disposed in the opening (102), and a fastener (110) having a threaded shank position (112) is retainably disposed through the sleeve member (150). The fastener (110) is axially and laterally positionable relative to the pre-assembled workpiece (100), whereby the pre-assembled workpiece (100) is mountable and alignable on the mounting surface (12) of the second workpiece (10) without interference from the fastener (110). The sleeve member (120) includes a resilient first substantially radial flange member (124) whereby the sleeve member (120) is axially positionable relative to the opening (102) through the pre-assembled workpiece (100) upon fastening the pre-assembled workpiece (100) to the second workpiece (10) to compensate for misalignment tolerance and thermal expansion of the pre-assembled workpiece (100).
