  • Patent number: 5370486
    Abstract: A vehicle locking fastener assembly primarily adapted for locking a vehicle wheel to a hub of a vehicle. The locking fastener assembly may adapt the form of a lock bolt assembly or a lock nut assembly. This assembly is comprised of a cylindrically shaped lock nut body having an end wall which may be in the nature of an end cap and which is provided with an enlarged central opening. The opening of the end cap is formed by a somewhat serpentine edge. A jacket is provided for covering the vehicle lock nut and which also has a cylindrically shaped body extending around and engaging the outer side wall of the lock nut body. The jacket similarly has a transverse end plate formed with a somewhat undulating recess. In this case, the recess is formed by a pair of spaced apart recess-forming walls and with the outer wall generally conforming to and engaging the undulating edge of the lock nut.
