Filed: 2001-05-21
Abstract: A first washer is disposed on the upper surface of a member to be fastened, with the projecting portion inserted in a gap between the barrel of a bolt and an insertion hole in the member to be fastened. A second washer is disposed on the upper surface of the first washer, with its pawl applied to the engaging tooth of the first washer. The fitting portion of the second washer has the head of the bolt fitted therein. The first and second washers are relatively rotatable in a bolt-tightening direction in that the pawl slides on the inclined wall surface of the engaging tooth and are relatively nonrotatable on a bolt-loosening direction in that the pawl engages the substantially vertical wall surface of the engaging tooth. Even if the bolt tries to rotate in the loosening direction after being tightened, the second washer becomes relatively nonrotatable with respect to the first washer in that direction;  thus, the bolt cannot rotate.

Title: Sample extraction system for boreholes
Inventor: BELSHAW DOUGLAS JAMES
IPC: E21B49/08
Filed: 2002-03-20
Abstract: The use of extruded plastic continuous-multi-channel (CMC) tubing for conveying water samples from different depths up out of boreholes is enhanced by the compressed- grommet sealing system as described. The rubber grommet is placed inside one of the many conduits of the tubing, and squeezed lengthwise, whereby the grommet expands laterally and seals and plugs the conduit. When forming a port in the conduit, an aperture is cut in the wall of the conduit, and plug-assemblies having the grommets are placed above and below the port. Ledges on the plug--assemblies engage the ends of the aperture, and operate in ocnjunction with spacer bars in the aperture to prevent the plug-assemblies being moved along the conduit by pressure in the conduit. Some of the conduits in the CMC tubing are left unplugged, for admitting probes, sensors, etc.
