Abstract
The nut includes a first half having a short shank with an internal screw thread therethrough and an external screw thread on the short shank and a second half with a threaded bore. The internal thread has a first pitch and the external thread has a second screw pitch, the second and third screw pitches having different vertical lengths. The threaded bore includes a first section and a second section wider than the first section and the length of the short shank. The first section has a screw pitch equal to the first screw pitch and the second section has a third screw pitch slightly finer than that of the second screw pitch.
Claims15
A fixing means comprising a bolt having a threaded end threaded at a first screw pitch and a nut member detachable engaged with said threaded end;
- wherein the improvement is characterized by said nut member including a first half and a second half, said first half having a short shank with an internal screw thread therein and an external screw thread on said short shank, said internal screw thread of said first half having said first screw pitch and being engageable with said threaded end of said bolt, said external screw thread having a second screw pitch different from said first screw pitch;
- said second half having a threaded bore with two sections of differing radii, a first section and a second section wider than said first section, said first section of said second half having said first screw pitch and being engageable with said threaded end of said bolt, said second wider section of said second half having an internal screw thread having a third screw pitch and being engageable with said external screw thread of said first half, one of said second and third screw pitches being slightly finer than the other,
- wherein said second and third screw pitches have different vertical lengths for lockingly deforming at least one of said external screw threads of said first half and said internal screw thread of said second section of said second half on engagement thereof, and said second wider section having a length slightly longer than a length of said short shank of said first half.
A fixing means comprising a bolt having a threaded end threaded at a first screw pitch and a nut member detachable engaged with said threaded end;
- wherein the improvement is characterized by said nut member including a first half and a second half, said first half having a short shank with an internal screw thread therethrough and an external screw thread on said short shank, said internal screw thread of said first half having said first screw pitch and being engageable with said threaded end of said bolt, said external screw thread having a second screw pitch different from said first screw pitch, wherein said internal and external screw threads are substantially concentric with one another;
- said second half having a threaded bore with two sections of differing radii, a first radius defining a first section and a second radius defining a second section wider than said first section, said first section of said second half having said first screw pitch and being engageable with said threaded end of said bolt, said second section of said second half having an internal screw thread having a third screw pitch and being engageable with said external screw thread of said first half and a length longer than a length of said short shank of said first half and one of said second and third screw pitches being finer than the other,
- wherein said second and third screw pitches have different vertical lengths for lockingly deforming at least one of said external screw threads of said first half and said internal screw thread of said second section of said second half on engagement thereof.
A fixing means comprising a bolt having a threaded end threaded at a first screw pitch and a nut member detachably engaged with said threaded end;
- wherein the improvement is characterized by said nut member including a first half and a second half, said first half having a short shank with an internal screw thread therein and an external screw thread no said short shank, said internal screw thread of said first half having said first screw pitch and being engageable with said threaded end of said bolt, said external screw thread having a second screw pitch different from said first screw pitch;
- said second half having a threaded bore with two sections of differing radii, a first section and a second section wider than said first section, said first section of said second half having said first screw pitch and being engageable with said threaded end of said bolt, said second wider section of said second half having an internal screw thread having a third screw pitch and being engageable with said external screw thread of said first half, one of said second and third screw pitches being slightly finer than the other,
- wherein said second and third screw pitches have different vertical lengths for lockingly deforming at least one of said external screw threads of said first half and said internal screw thread of said second section of said second half on engagement thereof.
