Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2000019111
Kind Code:

Abstract:
A highly adjustable free spinning positively locking fastener assembly for threaded joints such as automotive or truck wheel assemblies includes a nut (12) having a flange (20) with a retainer washer (18) captured on the nut flange (20) via a locking bolt (10). The washer (18) includes a tab (24) received in a slot (26) of a wheel spindle (28) to permit the washer to move axially and prevent the washer from rotating. Bolt holes (22) are located at unequally spaced opposed locations in the flange of the nut. A plurality of locking bolts (10) locking the nut to the washer to prevent relative rotation so that neither the nut nor the washer can rotate relative to the spindle. The locking bolts (10) are torsionally inserted into the locking bolt holes (22) located in the nut. At least one locking bolt (10) extends through at least one of the corresponding locking teeth (34) of the washer. When the locking bolts (10) are inserted into the locking bolt holes (22), the locking bolts engage the teeth (34) of the washer (20) to prevent the nut (12) from rotating.
