Abstract
A self-locking strut-nut system for securement within a longitudinal constructional rectangular channel includes an element for selectable lockable engagement with the rectangular channel, such element defining a medial plane of the nut system. Such system also includes an element for threadably receipt of a complementally threaded rod, such receipt element having an axis transverse to such medial plane, the receipt element extending in length of the strut-nut system along such axis which exhibits upper and lower ends. The system also includes a rigid planar washer having an aperture. The system additionally includes an element for selectable engagement within the rigid washer, such engagement element extending integrally downwardly from a lowermost plane of the system, co-parallel to the medial plane of the system and transverse to the axis of the receipt element. Accordingly, the washer is secured transversely to the axis of the receipt element and against the lowermost plane of the system. The aperture of the washer is positioned axially symmetrically about the axis of the threadable receipt element of the system.
