ABSTRACT:
A self-locking connection between the external thread of a bolt and the internal thread of a nut is established by providing at least one face of the internal and/or external thread with a self-locking portion which is adjacent the root of the respective thread. The self-locking portion has a first facet which makes with the central axis of the respective thread an angle of between 5.degree. and 30.degree., preferably an angle of between 8.degree. and 15.degree., and at least one additional facet which is adjacent the first facet and is inclined relative to the central axis at a greater second angle. The self-locking action is established in that the crest of the other thread is urged toward and is deformed against the self-locking portion of the at least one face in response to adequate axial stressing of the nut and/or the bolt. The polygonal peripheral surface of the nut has an odd number of sections not a single one of which is parallel to any other section. The radially outer portion of the nut can be made of a material which is less elastic than the material of the radially inner portion so that the nut can oppose substantial radial expanding forces which develop on establishment of the self-locking action.
