members with respect to each other is pre-
vented under ordinary conditions, but
should there be slight retrograde movement
of the nut 6 upon the bolt 1, such action
5 would force an additional quantity of the
soft metal 9 into the slots 3, owing to the pe-
culiar shape of said slots, so that continued
retrograde movement of the nut 6 upon the
bolt 1 would occasion commensurately in-
10 creased resistance.
Having thus described my invention, what
is claimed as new is:
. 1. In a device of the character described,
including a .bolt having longitudinal slots
15 extending inwardly from the threaded end
thereof; a nut having an axial non-circular
recess formed therein and an axial threaded
aperture which communicates with the said
axial non-circular recess; a soft malleable
20 locking member permanently secured with-
in the non-circular recess, and having an
axial threaded aperture which communi-
cates with the axial threaded aperture of
the nut, said locking member adapted to be
23 hammered into engagement with the lon-
gitudinal slots of the bolt, to lock the nut
to the said bolt.
2. In a device of the character described,
including a bolt having longitudinal slots ofpredetermined length extending inwardly 30
from the threaded end thereof ; a nut having
an axial non-circular recess formed therein
and an axial threaded aperture which com-
municates with the said non-circular recess;
a soft malleable .-locking member perma- 35
nently secured within the non-circular re-
cess and having an axial threaded aperture
which communicates with the threaded aper-
ture of the nut', the said non-circular recess
and malleable locking members are adapt- -
ed to extend within the nut a distance suffi-
cient to cause their inner axial terminals to
lie in the same transverse plane as the inner
terminal of the longitudinal slots when the
nut has been screwed to securing position; 4
an outstanding portion extending from the
malleable locking member, beyond the outer
face of the nut, said outstanding portion is
adapted to be forced into engagement with
the said longitudinal slot of the bolt, to lock u
the nut to the bolt.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing
as my own, I have hereto affixed my signa-
ture in the presence of two witnesses.
