<p>Locking devices (100) and methods are described. The locking device (100) includes a non-resilient locking thread form (110) that is expandable and a threaded expander (120). The thread form (110) includes a threaded exterior portion (112) and an axially-oriented, threaded interior recess (114) at a proximal end of the thread form (110). The threaded exterior portion (112) has a length and is configured to connect two articles in an axial direction. The threaded expander (120) has a threaded exterior (122) that is over sized relative to the threaded interior recess (114) so as to expand the threaded exterior portion (112) radially as the threaded expander (120) is positioned in the threaded interior recess (114).</p> |
