Abstract
An insertion extraction device (IED) (100) is suitable for use in attaching a movable object (40) to a fixed structure (20) with a limited amount of force. The IED (100) includes a mandrel (120) and a flexible sleeve (140). The mandrel (120) is constructed of a relatively hard material such as a metal and has a first section (126) with an elliptical, oval, or similar shape and a second section (128) for attaching to the fixed structure (20). The flexible sleeve (140) is constructed of a material such as nylon or urethane plastic. An operator is able to turn the mandrel (120) by turning the sleeve (140) with less than a certain amount of torque. When the operator applies an excessive amount of torque to the sleeve (140), the sleeve (140) slips over the mandrel (120), thereby limiting the maximum amount of force that can be applied to insert the movable component (40) into the fixed structure (20).
