Abstract
This invention provides a sealed fastener that includes a housing and a nut assembly, the housing having a base and a receptacle extending beyond the base on one side, an annular seal being positioned on the opposite side of the base and engaged by a flange of the receptacle which holds the receptacle to the base. The nut assembly includes a threaded member within the receptacle and a sleeve extending through an opening into the base and beyond the opposite side of the base. The sleeve is bendable outwardly to form a flange to cooperate with the base in holding the fastener to a workpiece, the seal including a bead which will engage such a workpiece and prevent leakage when the flange on the sleeve is so formed.
