Abstract:
A connector rod for a loom, said connector rod comprising a screw connector, said connector rod (7) having forked rod ends (5, 6), and a bearing (14) secured between said forked rod ends (5, 6) by said screw connector, a spacing (S) between said forked rod ends, said bearing (14) having an axial length fitting into said spacing (S), each forked rod end comprising a conical wall (4A, 4A') surrounding a countersunk conical recess (4, 4') thereby forming two conical recesses (4, 4') positioned in axial alignment opposite each other and extending into said spacing (S), said conical wall comprising an open bottom including a deformable single line edge (4B) facing radially inwardly, said screw connector consisting of a female threaded nut (1) with a nut head (3) having a flat outer surface and a conical nut surface (3') opposite said flat outer surface, said conical nut surface (3') being received in one of said conical recesses (4), a torque resistant engagement between said single deformable line edge (4B) of said conical wall (4A) of said one conical recess (4) and said female threaded nut (1), said torque resistant engagement (11) comprising as an integral part of said female threaded nut serrations (11) having a plurality of line ridges that deform said deformable single line edge (4B) for holding said nut (1) against rotation and against unintended axial withdrawal, and a male threaded screw (10) with a screw head (10A) having a conical surface in the other recess (4'), said male threaded screw engaging said female threaded nut.
