Abstract
Fastening art with double nuts for a dual-threaded screw structure is provided, in which loosening is not created even if the structure is subjected to vibration. A spring washer is caused to intervene between the nuts, when double nuts of an inner nut and an outer nut are screwed onto a thread portion on which dual-threaded screw is formed. Only by tightening the outer nut, also the inner nut is tightened and the spring washer is compressed. Both axial force for clamping the fastened member and axial force between the nuts can be secured with the spring washer, so that loosening does not occur easily.
Claims5
A fastening structure with double nuts having dual-threaded screw, comprising:
- a dual-threaded screw structure having two kinds of threads formed on a shank thereof, said two kinds of threads including:
- a first one-threaded selected from metric thread, Whitworth thread, unified thread, trapezoidal thread, pipe thread, round thread, ball thread and square thread, and
- a second one-threaded or multi-threaded thread formed in a same twisting direction as the first one-thread and having a lead (Ln) larger than a pitch (P) of the first one-thread;
- a first nut screwed onto the first one-thread;
- and
- a second nut screwed onto the second one-thread on a side of a fastened member and at an inside position of the first nut;
- wherein a spring-shaped washer being elastically deformable is provided between the first nut and the second nut to be fitted into the dual-threaded screw structure.
