Fastener lock mechanisms with lock arms

A lock assembly for a threaded member, said lock assembly comprising:

• a first lock member including an inner portion and a plurality of ratchet teeth extending from said inner portion, said inner portion defining an aperture to receive the threaded member;
• a second lock member including at least one lock tooth configured to engage said plurality of ratchet teeth of said first lock member, wherein said lock assembly has a locked configuration in which said at least one lock tooth engages said plurality of ratchet teeth and an unlocked configuration in which said at least one lock tooth is spaced from said plurality of ratchet teeth;
• a third lock member coupled to said second lock member, said third lock member including an inner portion and at least one lock arm extending at least in part radially outward of said second lock member, said at least one lock arm configured to engage a surface to inhibit rotation of said second lock member;
• and
• pins configured to couple said third lock member to said second lock member.

A method of assembling a lock assembly for a fastener assembly, the fastener assembly including a threaded member, said method comprising:

• forming a first lock member including an inner portion and a plurality of ratchet teeth extending from the inner portion, the inner portion defining an aperture to receive the threaded member;
• forming a second lock member including an inner portion and at least one tab extending from the inner portion;
• forming at least one lock tooth on the at least one tab, the at least one lock tooth configured to engage the plurality of ratchet teeth of the first lock member, wherein the lock assembly has a locked configuration in which the at least one lock tooth engages the plurality of ratchet teeth and an unlocked configuration in which the at least one lock tooth is spaced from the plurality of ratchet teeth;
• forming a first lock arm configured to couple to the second lock member;
• and
• forming a second lock arm configured to couple to the second lock member, the first lock arm and the second lock arm configured to engage a surface to inhibit rotation of the second lock member, wherein the first lock arm and the second lock arm extend radially outward from the second lock member and define an angle therebetween, wherein the angle between the first lock arm and the second lock arm is adjustable.
