Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to floating nut. More particularly the present disclosure relates a floating nut assembly to be used in blow molded panel.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Conventionally, the floating nuts are widely used for performing aligning operation between two surfaces to avoid any mismatch between holes of the two surfaces due to slight dimension variation in surface’s dimension. Existing floating nuts are made up of sheet metal, which cannot be used in the blow molding process. Existing floating nut designs are incapable of providing solid fitting and sustaining torque load of 8 to 10 Newtons during the blow moulding process. since as the molten plastic is injected into the mold cavity, it can sometimes push its way into the threads of the floating nut or other components of the mold. When the floating nut bend and are unable sustain such torque, it can cause issues with the mold alignment, restrict freedom of movement, or lead to leaks or other quality related problems in the final molded product, thereby making it more difficult to remove or replace the floating nut during maintenance or repair activities.
[0004] Further, particularly in the context of body-in-white (BIW) manufacturing, if the heat and stress tolerance of the blow molding panel, BIW stack up and the floating nut itself are not within the required range, it may risk breakage of the floating nuts and other inserts due to their lack of flexibility. Furthermore, the floating nut and BIW panels must be aligned with respect to a first axis. When the floating nut protrudes out, it may create metallic rattle noise and may widen gap between the floating nut and the panel. Meanwhile, if the floating nut is configured deeper into the panel, it may generate more pull force, causing the floating nut to be removed from the panel. Additionally, if the inserts or the floating nuts cause damage to products manufactured through blow molding process, there is no rework possible, leading to situations where the entire product may have to be rejected. This significantly increases the cost of manufacturing.
[0005] Therefore, a need for an improved floating nut that can be used with the blow molded panel and solves the above discussed problems.
