ABSTRACT:
Fastener comprises a flat head nut having a specially designed shape and includes a complimentary bolt, for use in a cryogenic environment. Opposed heads of the nut and bolt each have an underside connecting the heads to neck and body portions, respectively, which are of a conical shape and which fit into correspondingly tapered openings of two support members of a superconducting magnetic storage device. The shape of the fastener permits a predetermined contact pressure to be maintained for the support structure as the superconducting magnet is cooled to cryogenic temperatures. The fastener produces a rigid structure to eliminate frictional heating of the magnet. A specially designed tool is provided for torquing the nut and/or the bolt. At least the nut includes three tapered slots in its head portion, and tool having three correspondingly tapered fingers. In this manner, the nut can be sufficiently held, and yet the head of the nut remains flush with the surface of the support member.
