Abstract

A mounting structure apparatus for dynamically loaded structure joints is disclosed. The apparatus includes a first member having an aperture through a first surface and communicating with a counterbore in a second surface. A second member is included having a blind bore coaxial with the first member aperture. An insert is engageable with the counter bore, and a fastener is disclosed insertable into the first member aperture and interactive with the second member to join the first member to the second member.

Claims

1. A mounting structure apparatus, comprising:

A first member having an aperture through a first surface and communicating with a counterbore in a second surface;

a second member having a blind bore coaxial with said first member aperture;

an insert engageable with said counter bore, and

a fastener insertable into said first member aperture and interactive with said second member blind bore to join said first member to said second member.

2. The mounting apparatus of claim 1, wherein said insert is a projection from a surface of the second member interactive with said counter bore in said first member, said insert having internal threads interactive with threads on said fastener.

3. The mounting apparatus of claim 1, wherein said insert is equipped with internal threads and external threads, said external insert threads engagable with threads in a blind aperture in said second member, and said blind bore is threaded to engage said fastener;

said insert further including shoulder portions to engage said first member counterbore.

4. The mounting apparatus of claim 1, wherein said counterbore is substantially circular.

5. The mounting apparatus of claim 1, wherein said counterbore is oblong.

6. The mounting apparatus of claim 1, wherein said counterbore has a first dimension to accommodate said insert, and a second dimension smaller than said first dimension;

said second dimension separated from said first dimension by a length L;

said counterbore tapered from said first dimension to said second dimension.

7. The mounting apparatus of claim 1, wherein said second member has a counterbore complimentary with said blind bore;

said insert engageable with said second member counterbore and said first member counterbore.

8. The mounting apparatus of claim 7, wherein said second member has a counterbore concentric with said blind bore.
