Abstract:
A radially relieved locating pin for use in adjoining of parts having a slight hole to hole mismatch to be held in correct radial orientation, the radially relieved locating pin comprising:a mounting portion and a locating portion wherein said locating and mounting portions have a common centerline, said locating portion having a pair of symmetric indexing segments and a pair of radial reliefs which are alternately interposed and conjoined to each other, such that one of said pair of indexing segments is located opposite the other of said pair of indexing segments relative to the common centerline, and such that one of said pair of radial reliefs is located opposite the other of said pair of radial reliefs relative to the common centerline, each of said pair of radial reliefs having a radial relief centerline that is parallel to to the common centerline wherein each of said pair of radial reliefs and the associated radial relief centerline define a radial relief radius, wherein a single line substantially bisects each of said radial reliefs and passes through said common centerline and wherein said centerline for locating each of said radial reliefs is located along said single line on the opposite side of the common centerline from the respective radial relief.
