ABSTRACT:
The self-locking nut comprises an hexagonal outer case (10) having front and rear open faces, and a set of cup-shaped or tapered spring members (14a, 14b) having threaded bores (17) axially aligned with the front and rear openings of the case (10). At least one of the tapered spring members (14a) has side edges (18) inwardly rounded and is provided with deflection legs (19) which extend outwardly to engage the internal corners between the side walls (11) of the case (10). A braking washer (20) may be optionally provided inside the case (10) to prevent the reverse rotation of the nut caused external stresses; the braking washer (20) is provided with a large central hole (21) having inwardly extending protrusion (22) ending in correspondence of the average diameter of the thread (17) of the spring members (14a, 14b) of the nut.
