Union Leader CorrespondentWINCHESTER — Inventor Dale E. Van Cor has partnered with a mechanical engineer in Massachusetts to test his patented nuts and bolts.
Van Cor is a Winchester native and inventor who aims to revolutionize the world of nuts and bolts with a new fastener technology.

He has designed five threaded connections, three of which have been patented.
Engineers have been resistant to adopt Van Cor’s wave thread nuts and bolts, however, and testing is vital to moving his product to market, he said.
Mechanical engineer Harrison Frye of Lowell, Mass., has been testing the Van Cor-designed threaded connections using fasteners made from a 3-D printer. (…)
