ABSTRACT:
Locking fastener comprising a threaded part such as a bolt or nut and a lock plate which fits over the bolt or nut and is prevented from rotation by engagement with a stationary object such as a protrusion on the part to be secured. The lock plate has an opening with a contour which mates with the outer contour of the threaded part to prevent rotation of the threaded part, and the plate is retained on the threaded part by a retainer received in a detent opening or groove formed in the threaded part. In some embodiments, the retainer is a separate part which is free to rotate in the groove. In other embodiments, the retainer comprises a detent lug carried by the lock plate.
