locknut assembly; lock-nut; and method of locking a first nut to a threaded member

摘要

lock nut assembly; lock-nut; and method of locking a first nut to a threaded member is a lock nut assembly (10, 10 ') having a first component (12) provided with a threaded axial through hole (19); and a second component (14) provided with an axial hole (31). the first and second components (12, 14) are detachably coupled together and arranged such that both components are simultaneously engageable with a common tool for applying the assembly (10, 10 ') to a threaded member (22) by operating the tool to transmit torque to the assembly (10, 10 ') in a first direction. the first component (12) initially engages the threaded member (22) with the next second component (14). The first component (12) provides attachment to the threaded member (22) and is rotated as required. the second component (14) acts to lock the first component (12) to the threaded member (22).
