Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1930530A2] A lock's nut (2) is pretensioned by a high-grade spring (3) designed as an annular spring and supported on a first carrier (6) fixed in relation to a casing. Between the high-grade spring, a second carrier (7) for the lock's nut engages first (5) and second (4) end sections bent radially outwards. Pushed into a guide device (9) in the casing, a retaining plate (10) has a recess (11) that has an open edge and serves to hold an end section of the high-grade spring.
