The Self-Locking Washer can also be described as a self-capturingwasher, as once inserted on a screw, or other threaded device, it is retained by contact with the thread of the screw. This can be achieved in a number of ways. One such way is to manufacture the washer with three teeth equally spaced on the inner edge of the washer. These teeth will just pass over the thread of the screw when inserting the washer onto the screw. Once the washer is released and allowed to rest against the thread of the screw, the teeth on the inner edge and gravity combine, no matter what angle the screw is held at, to lock or capture the washer on the thread of the screw. This self-locking capability has particular application for all automated manufacturing processes requiring the use of a threaded device with a washer. It is also an effective labour saving device for manual operations requiring the combination of a threaded device and a washer. |
