DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

In the following, further descriptions of preferred embodiments will be given in reference to the accompanying drawings. A stop backing series fastener of bolt type of embodiment 1 as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, comprising bolt 2 with longitudinal positioning groove 1 of washer passing through fastened work piece 3, projected inward positioning tooth 5 on inner edge of washer 4 aligned with positioning groove 1 is sheathed onto the part of bolt 2 exposing out of the work piece, the apex of stop backing teeth 6 arranged on outer edge of washer 4 rising towards the direction of screwing directs to thread end of the bolt 2, the diameter of the outer edge of the end face of washer 4 arranged with stop backing teeth is larger than the diameter of nut of fastener, the stop backing teeth 6 on washer 4 are elastic stop backing teeth, that is, the stop backing teeth can be pressed down under gravity, and can rebound after gravity disappeared. By screwing nut 7 in the thread of bolt 2 to cause the stop backing teeth 8 arranged on end face of the nut 7 to press work piece 3 and washer 4 tightly, and to cause one of stop backing teeth 6 on the washer 4 rebounds up along the gap between teeth of the stop backing teeth 8 of nut 7, that is, in stop backing state (as shown in FIG. 1), both stop backing teeth 8 of nut 7 and stop backing teeth 6 of washer 4 form a pawl structure.


A stop backing series fastener of screw type of embodiment 2 as shown in FIGS. 7 to 13, it consists of screw 11 on the supporting surface 17 of which stop backing teeth 10 are arranged, on the outer edge of one side stop backing teeth 12 are arranged rising up toward the direction of screwing, on the other side there is washer 14 having positioning tooth 13 of work piece and fastened work piece 16 with pre-formed positioning groove 15 of washer. Its operation procedure is as follows: put washer 14 on work piece 16 and let its positioning tooth 13 align with positioning grove 15 of washer on work piece 16, as shown in FIG. 7. By screwing the screw 11, the stop backing teeth 10 press washer 14 and fastened work piece 16 tightly, one of the stop backing teeth 12 of the washer 14 rebounds up along the gap between the stop backing teeth 10 of supporting surface 17 of screw 11 head, thus presents a stop backing state (as shown in FIG. 7).


An anti-detaching series fastener of bolt type of embodiment 3 as shown in FIGS. 14 to 19, the main differences of the present embodiment and embodiment 1 are: supporting surface 19 is provided on outer edge of end face of the nut 18 and stop backing teeth 20 are arranged around inner edge of end face of the nut 18, the apex of teeth is lower than or equal to the height of supporting surface 19, such that the engaged part of stop backing teeth 20 of inner edge of end face of the nut 18 and stop backing teeth 23 of end face of the washer 21 surrounds the supporting surface 19 of outer edge of end face of the nut 18 and can not be detached. On inner edge of the washer 21 is provided with inward projected positioning tooth 22 and along periphery of hole diameter of washer 21 stop backing teeth 23 rising up toward the direction of screwing are arranged. The diameter of end face of the washer 21 having stop backing teeth 23 is less than the diameter of inner edge of supporting surface 19 of the nut 18. Its operation procedure is as follows: as shown in FIG. 14, a bolt 25 having longitudinal positioning groove 24 of washer is passed through fastened work piece 26, the inward projected positioning tooth 22 on inner edge of washer 21 are aligned with positioning groove 24 and sheathed on to the part of the bolt 25 exposed out of work piece 26, the apex of stop backing teeth 23 of washer 21 is directed toward the end part of thread, then the nut 18 is screwed onto the bolt 25 to press work piece 26 and washer 21 tightly to make all of the stop backing teeth 23 of washer 21 are rebounded along the gap between stop backing teeth 20 of the nut 18, that is, in an anti-detaching state (as shown in FIG. 14).


An anti-detaching series fastener of screw type of embodiment 4 as shown in FIGS. 20 to 24, the main differences between the present embodiment and embodiment 2 are: on outer edge of supporting surface of the screw 27 the supporting plane 28 is remained, the apex of stop backing teeth 29 arranged around bolt and the supporting plane are in the same height. On one side of washer 30 there is positioning tooth 31 of work piece, on the other side, the diameter of which is less than the diameter of inner edge of supporting surface 28 of the screw 27, and stop backing teeth 32 rising up toward the direction of screwing are arranged on periphery along hole diameter. Its operation procedure is as follows: the positioning tooth 31 of the washer 30 is aligned with pre-formed positioning groove 34 of work piece 33 and the washer 30 is placed on the work piece 33 and screwing the screw 27, pressing washer 30 and fastened work piece 33 tightly, all of stop backing teeth 32 of washer 30 are rebounded and engaged with stop backing teeth 29 of screw 27 head, that is in an anti-detaching state (as shown in FIG. 20).


An embodiment 5 of conveniently detaching tool attached on stop backing series thread fasteners as shown in FIGS. 25, 26, and FIG. 1, the spanner 35 with one face of inclined faces 36 upward is sheathed on lower part of the nut 7 as shown in FIG. 1. By screwing in bevel down direction of inclined face 36, such that the inclined face 36 is acted on radial circular conveniently detaching step 9 projected inward of end face of the nut 7, and since the diameter of end face arranged stop backing teeth on outer edge of washer 4 is larger than the diameter of the nut 7 of fasteners, one side of plane of the spanner 35 presses down stop backing teeth 6 of the washer 4, then the nut 7 could be detached normally by using general tool.


The stop backing series, anti-detaching series thread fasteners provided by above embodiments may be matched and combined according to the specific requirements of fastened work piece and its environment.


To sum up, by using simple structural design, the stop backing, anti-detaching fastening means may be achieved in true sense by the invention. Significantly, the invention is a novel, advanced and having wide applications new design. The above description is specific embodiment and used technical principle of the invention, the equivalent modification and its function produced can be made without departing the spirit covered by the specifications and accompanying drawings, the scope of the invention is intended to be defined by the claims herein.
