DEFINITION

Classification: 411/239

Including cooperating formations on the axially opposing portions of the nuts:

(under subclass 223) Device wherein both of the internally threaded elements are formed with, on the portions thereof which occupy an axially confronting relationship, surface configurations which interact with each other to limit or prevent the turning, in at least one direction, of one of the elements with respect to the other.

(1) Note. Infrequently, another distinct member (see subclass 223 above) is located between the internally threaded elements and contributes to the limiting or preventing of turning (e.g., by providing one of the confronting sets of surface configurations).
