ABSTRACT:
Round spring wire (20) FIG. (1) formed into concave tri-elliptic wire (22) FIG. (2-A) and processed to include reversing wave crests (24) FIG. (3-A) having not opposed crest contact (28) FIG. (3-B) requires forming into ring or shape and heat treated as completed elastic form of locking ring device. Unique featured locking of joints and locking of standard fasteners is provided by continuous elastic internal beaming in combination with proportional penetration of joint surfaces by a multitude of relatively sharp reversing wave crests, which are always erect. Useful form is readily shaped and size configured in flat plane such as essentially round form of locking ring device (34) FIG. (4). The locking ring device is used for locking joint by curl formed flange (47b) FIG. (5-B), for plural use in locking of joint by single formed rivet (59) FIG. (6-B), for plural locking of joint by single screw thread fastener such as socket cap screw (78a) FIG. (7-A) and for either left hand or right hand threaded nut (85) FIG. (7-B), for combined sealing and locking with sealing locking (91) FIG. (8-A) surrounded by molding compound (92) FIG. (8-A), and for unitized locating and gripping plural fasteners by forming into a locking polyring (93) FIG. (9). A useful straight form of the locking ring device has use in between properly grooved members (96) FIG. (10) as straight locking key (99) FIG. (10), where restraining lateral and longitudinal movement or combinations offers improved replacement for a square or rectangular section machine key.
