Abstract of the Disclosure An improved thread convolution cooperates with a mating thread convolution to prevent reverse rotation between the thread convolutions in a direction tending to loosen a fastener. In order to prevent reverse rotation between the two thread convolutions while enabling them to be rotated in a forward direction to tighten the fastener, the improved thread convolution has a resiliently deflectable spring portion which forms part of a flank of the thread convolution. During relative rotation between the two thread convolutions in a direction tending to tighten the fastener, the spring portion is deflected from an extended position to a retracted position under the influence of a flank of the mating thread convolution. This enables relative rotation to occur between the two thread convolutions without gouging or excessive scratching of the flank of either of the two thread convolutions. Upon initiation of reverse rotation between the two thread convolutions, the spring portion moves outwardly and penetrates the flank of the mating thread convolution to prevent continued rotation in the reverse or loosening direction between the two thread convolutions. The spring portion has a pointed end which is disposed radially outwardly of the pitch diameter of the thread convolution and radially inwardly of the crest of the thread convolution.
