ABSTRACT:
A bolt shank and washer have contiguous respective elliptical and circular surfaces that interact to impart an undulated axial distortion to the washer in a circumferentially running sinusoidal way, so that the washer acts in spring-like fashion to lock the bolt in its tightened position. The elliptical surface is tapered outwardly toward the bolt head to give an increased spring constant with increased tightening.
