ABSTRACT:
A self-locking bolt has a head with a bearing surface and a threaded part extending from the bearing surface and provided with an external thread of a pitch P for fastening to a first member when the head and threaded part are rotated in a fastening direction. There are n locking projections or recesses at equal angular intervals on the bearing surface, heights or depths of the locking projections or recesses from the bearing surface increasing or decrease gradually in a direction opposite the fastening direction from maximums to minimums with edges of the locking projections or recesses at junctions of the bearing surface and end walls of the locking projections or recesses at the maximums. The maximum height of the edge of the locking projections from the bearing surface of the head is nearly equal to and less than P
. A second member that is between the bearing surface and the first member when the head and threaded part are rotated in the fastening direction bulges into the locking recesses.
