Abstract:
A locking nut is provided by forming a straight cylindrical bore through a body, forming a tap with uniform teeth, the tips of which taper at a shallow angle toward one end of the tap, and tapping said bore with said tap so as to produce a thread having a pitch diameter and a root diameter which taper from one of the thread to the other, and a crest which is of constant diameter and increasingly truncated from one end to the other, said thread at said one end having substantially a full profile.
