(Specification, 2s. 6d.)

No. 26794.—26th October, 1909.—WILLIAM REES BEVAN, of 13 Upper Holly Hill Road, Belvedere, Kent, England, Engineer, and DANIEL THOMAS MORLEY, of “Leumbrah,” Dover Road, Welling, Kent, England, Engineer. Improvements in nut-locks.

Extract from Specification.—According to this invention a spring is combined with a nut-lock comprising a preferably grooved roller or pawl contained in a more or less curved and tapering tangential recess longitudinal of the bolt or screw, the spring being preferably arranged in such a manner as to be operative at about the middle or at more than one point of the length of the roller for the purpose of tending to maintain the parallelism of the roller. The spring for operating on the roller is a bent leaf spring, and preferably it has a lateral projection or foot to prevent it from becoming displaced. The said roller may be pushed back by the insertion of a pin or lever in a more or less lateral hole in the nut, or in a hole in the upper part of the nut. An inwardly projecting retaining cap, flange, or surface, or a suitable washer or perforated disc with a downwardly projecting lip or lug, is provided at each end of the nut in order to prevent the displacement of the roller in the axial direction, and to prevent it from falling out when the nut is removed from the screw. The perforated disc may be made somewhat curved in shape, and the nut is provided with a recess having an undercut edge, so that when the disc is in place, and pressure applied, it flattens and expands into the recess.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]
