A blocking mechanism which is integrated with a threaded fastener is proposed for improving the reusability and handling of locking devices for threaded fasteners, such as threaded bolts or nuts. The blocking mechanism can be switched to and from between a blocked state, in which the threaded fastener is gripped in a positively locking manner, and an unblocked state, in which the threaded fastener can be rotated. The blocking mechanism can have a blocking element which can engage into a blocking groove of the threaded fastener in a positively locking manner in the blocked state, and thus prevents rotation. For example, a nut which is provided with the blocking mechanism can be used to pivotably fasten a fastening rod to a fastening rail.
