<p>A washer body bearing hardened balls in apertures in the washer body provides a counter-torque resistance in a fastening. The hardened balls form projections that indent the underside of a fastener head and an adjacent fastening joint surface during tightening of the fastening to prevent rotation of the fastener head while a nut is driven to tighten or loosen the fastening. A reservoir portion of the apertures in the washer around the balls receives the material displaced during indention to allow full contact of the washer with the fastener head and joint surface. The hardened balls provide point loads for ready indentation upon minimal loading to prevent rotation of the fastener, obviating the need for a counter-torque wrench.</p> |
