The principles of helix is applicable in the construction of the following: Screw threads,springs, Worm
gears, propeller blades and cylindrical cams
A screw thread is a helical groove which is cut, rolled or sometimes cast on a cylinder orin a cylindrical
hole. The thread form could be compared to a string wound uniformly round a cylinder. Thread made
outside a cylinder is called external thread while that made inside a cylindrical hole is called internal
thread. Generally, screw threads are the holding power for bolts, screws, studs and nuts. They are used for
fastening and transmission of power.

This type of thread is used to fasten parts together, adjust the position of parts andtotransmit power.
The thread angle is 290.
3. BUTTRESS THREAD
This type of thread is used to transmit power in one direction only. The thread angleis 450.
4. SQUARE THREAD
The flanks of a square thread are normal to the axis, bursting forces are not presentandthus making it
theoretically ideal for power transmission. It is used on the operating spindles of valves, jacks and on
lathe machine to move the cross slide.

THREADS – PARTS /FEATURES
Pitch: The pitch of a thread is the distance from a point on one thread to an identicalpoint occurring
nextto it. It is measured parallel to the axis in an axial plane.
Lead: The lead of a thread is the axial movement of a screw in one revolution. Single – start
thread: In this type of thread, the pitch and the lead are the same.
Multi – start thread: This consist of two or more ridges, there by producing a lead that is greater
than the pitch. Therefore, a two – start thread has twice the length ofa single – start thread ie twice
pitch = 1 lead. The same is applicable to a three– start thread; lead = thrice pitch and so on. Multi –
start threads are used where fastmovement is desired with a minimum number of rotation rather
than holding.
Crest: This is the meeting point of the two flank lines forming the thread. It mayeither be
round or flat.
Root: This is the bottom groove formed by two adjacent flanks forming the thread.
The flanks of a thread are two straight lines either joining to form the crest or theroot.
Thread depth: This is half the difference between the major and minor diameters.
Major diameter: This is the full outside diameter. The length is measured at right angle to the
axis from crest to crest (external thread) or from root to root (internalthread).
Minor diameter: This is the diameter at the root of an external thread or the crest of an internal
thread when it is measured at right angle to the axis. It is called the rootor core diameter.
Thread angle: This is the angle formed by the two adjacent flank lines.Effective
Right – hand thread: A thread is form is right –hand if the thread slopes towards theright.
Left – hand thread: In this case, the thread slopes towards the left.
For internal thread in section, the minor diameter is drawn in thick lines while themajor diameter
is drawn in thin lines. Note that the hatch line crosses the major thread and stops at the minor
diameter.
On this arrangement, the screw is shown as an outside view and so, its threadcovers the thread
in the tapping as shown in the figure below.

This can be found in the suspension unit of motor vehicles and other machines.
They can be
identified by the flatness of the ends which makes it possible to conveniently fit intotheparts. They
are used as shock absorbers in vehicles.
type of spring can be identified by the round hook at both ends of the spring whichmakes it
possible to be attached to objects. It is used in wrist watches andautomobiles units.
METHOD
The method of construction is same as that of a helix. Except that a circle equal indiameter to the
thickness of the spring is drawn at each point. Curves are then drawn tangential to the circles to
form the spring.
LEAF SPRING
This type of spring may have the form of a single cantilever type or may be laminated i.e
semi-elliptical in design. The laminated form is used for shock absorbers in motor
vehicles.

FASTENERS
CONTENT
A fastener as the name implies from the word fasten is simply an object orequipment
used to “hold tight” or tie two or more components together.
Fasteners are of two forms and these include temporary fasteners and permanentfasteners. While
the temporary fasteners are used where maintenance or periodicchecking is necessary, permanent
fasteners on the other hand are used where periodic maintenance operations are not necessary.
Examples of permanent fastening methods are Riveting, Welding, Soldering and Brazing.
Moreover, the commonest temporary fasteners are Nuts, Bolts, Screws, Studs and Washers.
PERMANENT FASTENERS
WELDING
This is one way that metals could be fastened together permanently. This has been treated in week
one. Welding is a permanent fastener in the sense that once mating parts is joined either by fusion or
resistance method, it will take some special cuttingtools to separate them.
10/35
RIVETING
This is the method of using rivets to fasten metals or plastic parts together permanently. This does
not require heat unlike welding. During riveting, the parts tobe joined are drilled in the right position
and a rivet whose head end is attached to ariveting machine is passed through the drilled hole with
its straight end. When the machine is operated, the straight end increases in size and tightly fit into
the drilled whole and also form another head at the other end of the fastened parts. See diagrams
below.
The major feature used in differentiating rivets is basically the head formation. Smallrivets are made
with pan, button and countersunk heads having shank diameters of between 1.5mm to 11mm. Large
rivets are made with button, high button, pan, flat top, countersunk and cone head respectively. They
have shank diameters in the range of 12mm and 43mm. Below are diagrams showing different types
of rivet heads.
SOLDERING
This is the process of joining or fastening metals together by means of heat and a suitable alloy.
There are two types of soldering and these are soft and hard soldering. Soft soldering is a low
temperature form in which an alloy of Tin and Leadwith the addition of Antimony and Bismuth are
used to join parts together. Hard soldering is a high temperature form of soldering which includes
brazing and silver soldering. Silver soldering makes use of a solder which is an alloy of Copper, Zinc
and Silver.
11/35
BRAZING
This is the process of joining metals by the use of a solder often called Spelterwhichis an alloy of
Copper and Zink in strip, wire or granulated form. A temperature of approximately 9000C is needed
for brazing.
TEMPORARY FASTENERS
NUTS
A Nut is a thick square or hexagonal or octagonal piece of metal having a threaded hole into which a
bolt fits. The threads are cut inside the nut using an instrument called Tap. For extremely large nuts,
a machine called Lathe is used. The hexagonal shape is preferred for nuts and the heads of screws
and bolts because ittakes less space and is lighter than both square and octagonal shapes. Moreover,
ifa spanner of the same size could bring a hexagonal shape to a position that is one-sixth of a turn,
the same spanner going through same distance would turn a squareshape only through one-fourth.
Although the octagonal shape would be one-eighth of a turn which should have been more preferred
to others but the only disadvantage is that a spanner could easily slip round the corners since its flats
aresmaller.
There are different types of nut and these include Castle, Slotted, Lock, Wiles’ andWing nut
respectively. See the figures below for types of nut.
12/35
Third view
METHOD
Given the major diameter of the thread d, draw the chamfer circle with a diameter of1.5d equal to
the distance across flats (A/F). Use 600 setsquares to construct a hexagon round the chamfer circle.
For distance across corners (A/C), use 2d to draw the chamfer circle.
Draw the two thread circles representing the major diameter, d and the minor diameter. The minor
diameter need not be precise but a diameter of 0.75d or 0.8d issufficiently accurate.
Project lines downward from the corners of the first view to start the second view. Make the
thickness of the nut to be 0.8d. For bolt head use 0.7d. With T as centerand radius R where R is
equal to half the distance across flats, draw an arc to cutthe center line at point Q. With Q as
center and same radius, draw another arc below the first to cut the center line at point P and the
first arc at points V and W. These are the centers of the chamfer curves. Repeatsame for the other
side to complete the second view. For the thickness of thin nuts, R is 0.6d.
Project lines from the top and bottom of the second view to start the third view. Make the width of
this view equal to the distance across flats, 1.5d. With K as centerand radius R, draw an arc. With L
and M as center in turn, and radius R, draw arcs to cut the first at points A and B. These are the
centers of the two chamfer curves.
Repeat same for the other side to complete the third view.NOTE
The 300 chamfer does not show on the End view but have squared corners as seen on the end view.
On the Front elevation, it forms parabolas on the flats while on the Plan, it appears like a circle
touching the flats. Hence the name chamfer circle.
BOLTS
The standard bolt is made up of a hexagonal head with a chamfer angle of 300 and a cylindrical
shank (normally parallel). The free end of the shank is threaded from the tail end a distance equal to
twice the diameter of the bolt plus some units or tensof a millimeter depending on the length of the
shank. It is on this threaded length that a nut is screwed. The tip of the threaded length is chamfered
at an angle of 450.The rest of the shank up to the underside of the bolt head is left unthreaded. The
13/35
nominal length l, of a bolt or screw does not include the thickness of the head. The instrument used
in cutting threads on a bolt is called Die. For extremely larger sizes,a Lathe machine is used. See the
diagram below for more illustration.
For nominal length l, up to 125mm, the threaded length b, should be 2d + 6mm where d is the major
diameter of the bolt. If l is from 125mm to 200mm, b should be2d + 12mm and if above 200mm, b
should be 2d + 25mm.
Construction of a bolt
METHOD
Draw the top view of the bolt head by drawing a chamfer circle equal to the distanceacross flats or
1.5d where d is the major diameter of the thread.

Project lines downward from the edges of the first stage to start the second stage.Mark off 0.7d as
Locate the centers of the smaller curves by drawing lines at angle 600 as shown in the diagram. The
center of the large curve is obtained by trial and error method. Butthe arc should meet the smaller
arcs and also make tangent with the top of the bolt.
EVALUATION
Bolts are threaded outside unlike nuts that are threaded inside. The break in eitherthe
major(outside) diameter circle or minor(inside) diameter circle signifies “not threaded”. Therefore,
for bolts that are threaded outside and not inside, the brokencircle appears inside. The reverse is the
case for nuts that have their thread insideand not outside. See diagrams below.

DEVICESCONTENT
A bolt and nut assembly on a machine is likely to slacken off gradually due to vibration. To forestall
this kind of condition, locking devices are used. They help tokeep the fasteners in place. The two
common types of locking devices are the frictional and positive locking devices.
A locking device is frictional if it acts to increase the frictional force between thefasteners e.g.
bolt and nut and thus prevents slackening due to vibration.
A positive locking device on the other hand does not increase friction but simplykeep the
fasteners in place.
EVALUATION
Locknut: This is a frictional locking device. It thrusts the thread of the standard nutagainst the
thread of the bolt thus increasing friction and preventing slackening.
Split pin: this is a positive locking device. This is driven through a hole drilled in a bolt. When the
nut is screwed down, the pin is driven in place with its legs bent overa flat surface on the nut. Note
that the top face of the nut should bear against the pin and the pin should tightly fit into the hole.
Lock washers: These are frictional locking devices. An example of these types of washers is spring
washer. When a nut is screwed down on it , it thrusts the thread ofthe nut against that of the bolt and
thus produce a frictional lock.
Taper pin: This is a very good positive locking device especially if its end is split andthe legs opened
round the flats of the nut. This is driven through a common hole drilled in the bolt and nut. The only
disadvantage is that it is difficult to align hole if the nut is removed.
Slotted nut: This is a positive locking device. A split pin passes through one slot and a hole in the
bolt and the legs of the pin are opened and bent round the faces of thenut.
Castle nut: This is a developed form of slotted nut. It is a positive locking device.
Stiff nut: This is a frictional locking device. One type of stiff nut has a collar whoseinternal
diameter is less than the thread minor diameter inserted into it. When thenut is screwed on the bolt,
the thread of the bolt forces itself through the collar which is made of fibre or nylon and thus
providing.
Wiles’ nut: This is a frictional locking device. Since this type of nut is sawn half wayand a set
20/35
screw is screwed on it , this result into a spring effect which makes the threads of the bolt and nut
to jam and thus providing a frictional lock.
Ring nut: This is used on marine engines. They are positive locking device.Locking
Tab washers: These are positive locking devices. They are commonly of three forms. Two of
these have only one tab washer while the third form has two tab washers. This type is called
Siamese.
Serrated locking plate: This type of locking plate provides a positive lock.
Collars: These are cylindrical objects made of either fibre or nylon. They are usuallyinserted into a
nut to provide a frictional lock. When the nut is screwed on to the bolt, the bolt threads force their
way through the collar which grips them tightly thusproviding a frictional lock.
Washers: There are three main types of washers namely: Plane, Spring, and Starwashers.
Plain Washers: They are used under the head of a bolt or nut. Their function is tospread the load over a
large area than either the bolt head or nut.
Spring Washers: They are split and bent in a helical shape. They provide a frictionallock in bolts and
nuts because of its spring action which makes the bolt thread to lock up with that of the nut. They
also make it easier to unscrew bolted parts.
Star Washer: They are just like stars hence the name star washer. They are very useful for both
internal and external projections. See diagrams below for other typesof locking devices.

MEANING OF SECTIONING
Sometimes, the interior parts of an assembled component need to be viewed, therefore, a cutting
plane is assumed to have cut through the part and then the cutsurface (section) can be viewed. This
process is called sectioning.
EVALUATION
1. What is sectioning?
20/35
FULL, HALF AND PART SECTIONS
FULL SECTION
A full section is one in which the cutting plane extends fully through the entire object, cutting it
into two equal halves. The position of the cutting plane is selectedby the draughtsman to show the
interior of the object to the best advantage. The cutting plane line is often omitted on full sections
because its location is obvious.
SECTION
If an object is symmetrical, its interior details can be fully described by cutting halfway through
the object. The resulting view is called half section.
Half section
This type of section is similar to a “broken-out” section because a free hand breakline is used. The
only difference is that the sectional view is drawn away from the original object and labeled as
section A-A or B-B as the case may be just like “removed section.”

CONTENT
OFFSET SECTION
The offset section is usually a full section. Unlike the full section earlier treated, the cutting plane
changes direction at 900 from the main axis of the object to show details that are not in a straight
line. More details are revealed by offset section thanfull section.
23/35
Offset section
When a small portion of an object is broken out in order to expose the interior details, such a
partial section is called broken-out section. A free hand break linelimits the sectioned area.
Broken-out section.
REMOVED SECTION
Another means of clarifying the shape of an object with a sectional view is to locatethe sectional
view away from the object. Such a section is called removed section. As a rule, the removed section
should be labelled by letters such as section A-A orB-B as the case may be.

SECTIONING RULES
As a standing rule of sectioning, some machine parts must not be hatched when a cutting plane
passes through them longitudinally (parallel to the axis of the part); order wise, they will lose their
identity. These include solid shafts, bolts, nuts, studs,rivets, pins, spokes, balls and rollers of bearing,
keys, screws, ribs and webs. It should be noted that if the cutting plane passes through them
transversely (perpendicular to the axis of the part), they should be hatched. Note that hatching lines
should be thin-continuous and its inclination should not be exaggerated. An angle of 450 is
preferable.
