The washer may be of metal or plastics and may be merely a tight push fit in the recess or may be retained by impressing one or more depressions into the bearing face of the nut body after the washer has been fitted. The lock-nut may be formed with one washer as shown in connection with Fig. 1 or it may be provided with one washer on each face as shown in Fig. 4. |
