Lock-screw 3 has head 10 and threaded rod 11.
Head 10 has a surface in the side back to threaded rod 11, and this surface has the driver part 12 that drives screw turns by screwdriver.Here driver part 12 is two and is criss-cross groove.This surface of screw head is known in the art, just is not described in detail here.
The surface that is positioned at threaded rod 11 sides of screw head begins to widen greatly from threaded rod 11.This surface forms abutment surface 13, and abutment surface is truncated cone shape here, and its minor diameter is positioned at bar 11 root places, thus the main shaft of bar 11 and to the angle between abutment surface 13 greater than 90 °.
Main body 2 has to draw and connects part 15 and joining part 16.Draw and connect part 15 and comprise a smooth and rectangular plate 20.This plate dish 20 is connected with joining part 16 by two plates 21, two plates 21 be also rectangle and they be arranged to make these two plates 21 and plate dish 20 formation U shape bodies.
Plate dish 20 has be used to the circular open that bar 11 is passed through., bar 11 in place when screw 3 pass plate dish 20 with opening the time, bar 11 is relative with plate 21, and head 10 is against the smooth breasting surface 22 in plate dish 20 opening surroundings.
Draw and connect part 15 and comprise in addition and tightly hold plate 4.This is tightly held plate 4 and is rectangle and smooth.Size and the plate dish 20 of tightly holding plate 4 are basic identical, but thickness is greater than the thickness of plate dish 20.Tightly hold plate 4 and have a screwed hole, tightly hold plate and coordinate with threaded rod 11 by the mode of this screwed hole with nut.
During mounting terminal 1, tightly hold plate 4 and head 10 and be positioned at plate dish 20 each sides.To tightly hold plate 4 is arranged to: one of the edge breasting of tightly holding plate plate dish 20 relatively and is horizontal, and the plate 21 of contiguous this plate dish, thereby this plate 21 forms and keeps tightly holding the fixed stop component of plate 4, when screw 3 rotated, described stop component can make tightly to be held plate 4 and can not rotate.This plate 21 also plays the effect that the guide member that plate 4 slides is tightly held in guiding because screw 3 rotations can be driven tightly hold plate 4 plate dish 20 relative to rotation direction near or leave.
