Patent ID: 11578750

Abstract:
It is made possible to give prevailing torque to an adjustment bolt in a simple manner without troublesome adjustment work. An anti-loosening adjustment bolt assembly includes: a cylindrical pipe (6) adapted to be fitted on the screw shaft (2a) of the adjustment bolt (2); and a nut (7) having a threaded hole for allowing the screw shaft (2a) to be threadably mounted thereon; the bottom of the nut (7) includes a recess (7a) adapted to allow the upper end of the cylindrical pipe (6) to be fitted therein; the inner peripheral surface of the recess (7a) is a taper surface decreasing in diameter toward the interior; and the axis of the taper surface is slightly eccentric from the axis of the threaded hole such that, when the nut (7), threadably secured to the screw shaft (2a), is screwed toward the cylindrical pipe (6), a circumferential portion of the eccentric taper surface comes into pressure-contact with the upper end of the cylindrical pipe (6) and the axis (Q) of the threaded hole of the nut (7) is eccentric and/or inclined from the axis (O) of the screw shaft (2a) to generate prevailing torque depending on the amount of tightening of the nut (7) on the adjustment bolt (2).
