Abstract
An anti-loosening nut is formed with a threaded hole. The wall of the threaded hole is formed with at least one receiving cavity formed on the wall of the threaded hole in an axial direction of the threaded hole. At least one holding member is mounted in the receiving cavity of the nut. The holding member is disposed in the receiving cavity of the nut in the axial direction of the nut. When the nut is screwed onto a screw/bolt, the holding member elastically holds the screw/bolt, whereby the nut and the screw are elastically tightened with each other to avoid loosening of the nut.
