摘要： A lock nut is useable for setting a bearing to preload or endplay. A plurality of preload markings are circumferentially spaced apart on the nut. The distance between the preload marking corresponding to a preselected amount of preload applied or reduced on said bearing when the nut is (i) tightened to apply a preload force to said bearing or (ii) loosened to reduce a preload force on said bearing, respectively. A plurality of endplay markings are also circumferentially spaced apart on the nut. The distance between the endplay markings, corresponding to a preselected amount of endplay increased or reduced in said bearing when the nut is (i) tightened to reduce endplay on the bearing or (ii) loosened to increase endplay in said bearing. The use of endplay and preload markings enables setting of a bearing on an axle or spindle to either an endplay setting or a preload setting by adjusting the rotation of the lock nut according to the endplay markings or the preload markings, respectively.

摘要： FIG. 1 is a front, left perspective view of an axle lock nut according to the new design;
FIG. 2 is a front, right perspective view thereof;
FIG. 3 is a rear, left perspective view thereof;
FIG. 4 is a rear, right perspective view thereof;
FIG. 5 is a front elevational view thereof;
FIG. 6 is a right side elevational view thereof;
FIG. 7 is a left side elevational view thereof;
FIG. 8 is a top view thereof;
FIG. 9 is a bottom view thereof;
FIG. 10 is a rear elevational view thereof;
FIG. 11 is a front, left perspective view thereof shown in an alternate environment of use; and,
FIG. 12 is a front, right perspective view thereof shown in another alternate environment of use.
The broken lines immediately adjacent the claimed design represent the bounds of the claimed design while all other broken lines are directed to portions of the axle lock nut that form no part of the claimed design.
