ADOLPH C. BECKER, 0F OAKVILLE, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR T0 WATERBURY MFG. (30., OF WATERBURY, CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION.
NUT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 2%, 1915.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, AooLrI-I C. BECKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oakville, in the county of Litchfield and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Nuts; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the characters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this application, and represent, in t Figure l a side view of a nut constructed in accordance with my invention and shown in connection with a screw. Fig. 2 a view at right angles to Fig. 1. Fig. 3 a top or plan view.
This invention relates to an improvement in nuts and particularly to nuts especially designed for use in connection with binding posts for electric wires.
Battery nuts as usually constructed are provided with a knurled finger grip by which the nut can be turned into place, and also with an angular portion by which it can be grasped by pliers or a wrench.
The object of this invention is to produce a nut which may be readily turned into place either with the fingers or with the use of pliers or a wrench, and which, when turned into place, will be held against accidental displacement; and the invention consists in the construction hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claims.
In carrying out my invention I strike the nut up from a piece of sheet metal the nut comprising a central bodv 2 perforated and threaded to engage with a screw binding post 3 of usual form. On opposite sides of the body 2 are outwardly projecting fingers 4i and 5, the inner faces of the ends of these fingers extending into line with the opening in the body and so as to bear on opposite sides of the screw. The width of these fingers is slightly greater than the diameter of the threaded opening so that they may be grasped by a wrench or pliers, and the nut turned without having the wrench or pliers touch the threads of the screw to which it may be applied. Preferably the fingers will be turned up from the body before the body is punched and threaded so that when the body is threaded the tap may be allowed to pass between the ends of the fingers thereby rounding the inner faces of the fingers and providing them with a thread which may be engaged with the thread on the screw. These nuts can be produced at a very low cost for manufacture and when applied to a screw are not liable to accidentally move thereon, as the distance between the ends of the fingers is slightly less than the diameter of the screw to which it is to be applied so that the arms have a frictional contact with the screw.
I claim 1. A nut comprising a flat body having a threaded opening and fingers bent upward from opposite sides of the body, said fingers projecting beyond the outer face of the body in the general direction of the threaded opening.
2. A nut struck up from sheet metal comprising a body portion having a threaded opening, and fingers bent up from opposite sides of the body, said fingers projecting beyond the outer face of the body in the general direction of the threaded opening the width of the finger being greater than the diameter of the threaded opening in the body.
3. A nut comprising a body having a threaded opening, said body formed on opposite sides with arms bent outward therefrom, and the outer ends of the arms bent toward each other the outer ends of the arms provided with threads of the same pitch as the threads in the body.
