ABSTRACT:
A fastener such as a threaded nut, bolt or screw includes a body portion with a bearing surface at the workpiece engaging end defined at least in part by a flange. Segments of the bearing surface defined by the flange are flexible and resilient so that upon tightening of the fastener against a workpiece or other element, deflection of the resilient segments provides a spring action to compensate for developed looseness or loss of tension. Other segments of the bearing surface adjacent the flexible segments are rendered rigid by the body portion of the fastener and by brace structure associated with the body portion to the end that substantial spring forces are achieved.
