Benefits of technology

[0059]This prevents the washer from rotating and creates the clamping force without torsion.

Problems solved by technology

However, the use of washers does add complications when assembling products requiring same.
Firstly, the user has to align the washer to the aperture of the nut or alternatively, place it over the fastener with which it is to be used.
This is time consuming, adding to the assembly process, or wasteful if replacements have to be found.

Example

[0071]The present invention is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 and includes an assembly (generally indicated by arrow 1) of a nut (2) and washer (3) which are specially configured to cooperate with each other.

[0072]The body of the nut (2), in the illustrated embodiment, is six-sided, mimicking a conventional nut which is commonly used in the engineering and construction industries. A threaded central passage (4) for a fastener (not shown) runs between the top (2a) and the base (2b) of the nut.

[0073]Extending laterally outwards from its lower edge, the nut (2) includes a first flange (5), which acts as a shield for the washer. The flange helps to protect the washer from the fastening tool (not shown) used to manipulate the nut.

[0074]Depending from the interior edge (5a) of the first flange, is a neck (6), the lower edge (6a) of which is provided with a second flange (7) extending laterally outwards in more or less the same plane as the first flange (5).

[0075]It will be noted that the nut (
