LOCK-NUT FOR VEHICLE-NUTS OR THE LIKE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 789,059, dated May 2, 1905.
Application filed May 12, 1904. Serial No. 207,581-
To (all whom, it 7771a, concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE W. PETER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of St. Louis, Missouri, have invented new and useful Improvements in Lock-Nuts for Vehiole-Nuts or the Like, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to lock-nuts for vehicle-axles and the like; and it consists of the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts hereinafter shown, described, and claimed; and it has for its object to provide means in combination with an axle-nut and the like whereby the same will be positively locked against accidental backward rotation, thereby removing all danger of loss and the incidental inconveniences.
Figure 1 is a sectional view of the nut locked home. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a part of the axle, showing the construction used in this invention. Fig. 3 shows the locking devices in the arrangements to permit removal of the nut. Fig. 4 shows the position of the locking devices when the nut is locked on the axles.
1 indicates a portion of an axle, and 2 the threads, outward from which there is an unthreaded portion 3.
The nut 4 is of the usual hollow type and carries in its extreme depth a locking device 5, which in the form shown is a spring band or plate retained by suitable means and having one end projecting helically inward from the inner side of the nut, as shown in Fig. 4:- On the unthreaded outer end 2 of the axle there is formed a series of notches, shoulders, or projections 6, which have flat surfaces on the side toward the inner pitch of the threads 2, while the projecting end of the spring or device 5 is arranged oppositely, so that the nut may be screwed onto the threads, the end of the spring being dragged over the catches 6, but snapping each time into the recess at the sides thereof, so that backward turning is impossible unless the part 5 be held outward beyond the outer ends of the catches 6. For
accomplishing this to permit removal of the nut I provide therein a cam 7, attached to the inner end of a pin 8, which is mounted in a hole in the outer end of the nut and carries on its outer end a suitably-shaped head 9, by which the cam can be turned. The cam is shaped so that when turned to the position shown in Fig. 3 it will push the end of the spring or device 5 against the wall of the nut. Then the nut can be turned backward, because the said spring or device 5 no longer engages with the shoulders 6. The said cam may be of thin metal, so that it will not interfere with the free operation of the nut. The opposite end of the cam has a projecting arm 10, which prevents opposite rotation by engaging against the end of the member 5, as
shown in Fig. 4.
Other constructions and arrangements of the parts may log used, if desired, and I do not wish to rest'ric'tunyself to specific features of construction.
I claim 1. In a nut-lock of the class described, a series of projections on the axle, a nut having a closed end, a spring-plate inside the nut adjacent to the closed end to engage with said projections, a pin mounted in an opening in the closed end of the nut, and a cam on the end of the pin, within the nut, and operative to move the spring-plate against the walls of the nut.
2. In a nut-lock of the class described, a cries of projections on the axle, a spring-plate mounted inside the nut and curving inward from the walls thereof, a cam inside the nut and operative to push the plate against the walls of the nut, a projection on the cam to engage the end of the spring-plate when in locked position, a pin connected to the cam and projecting outside the nut, and a head on the pin forming a hold.
3. In a nut-lock for vehicles, a series of projections on the end of the axle, a spring-plate inside the nut and curving inward from the walls thereof to engage with said projections,
a cam inside the nut and operative to push the In testimony whereof I hereto affix my sigplate against the Walls of the nut out of enl nature in the presence of two Witnesses. gagement With the projections on the axle, GEORGE 7 PETER [L Q] means for holding the cam against backward Q rotation when the nut is locked, and means for Witnesses:
turning the cam to release the plate from the FRED. W. DUENOKEL, projections, substantially as specified. J. D. RIPPEY.
