Abstract
A reaction washer includes a main body that defines an inner diameter that slidingly receives an associated threaded element therethrough so as to define a rotation axis. The main body includes a top surface and a bottom surface that face in opposite directions. The reaction washer also includes a first raised friction inducing surface that extends from at least one of the top surface and the bottom surface so as to be nonconcentric with respect to the rotation axis.
Claims20
A reaction washer, comprising:
- a main body defining an inner diameter that slidingly receives an associated threaded element therethrough so as to define a rotation axis, the main body including a top surface and a bottom surface that face in opposite directions, wherein the reaction washer also includes a first raised friction inducing surface that extends from at least one of the top surface and the bottom surface so as to be nonconcentric with respect to the rotation axis.
A reaction washer, comprising:
- a main body defining an inner diameter that slidingly receives an associated threaded element therethrough so as to define a rotation axis, the main body including a top surface and a bottom surface that face in opposite directions along the rotation axis, wherein the reaction washer also includes a first raised friction inducing surface that extends from at least one of the top surface and the bottom surface, the first raised friction inducing surface being disposed in a circular pattern so as to define an inner friction diameter and an outer friction diameter, wherein a radial distance between the inner friction diameter and the rotation axis varies based upon an angular orientation about the rotation axis, and wherein the main body defines a perimeter that is radially spaced from the inner diameter a variable distance based upon the angular orientation about the rotation axis.
