locking nuts
Explanation:
Multiple ways of locking nuts, but I think the actual term you need is 'Self-locking nuts'. The contempoary locking nut today is a nut with a plastic, silicon or other pliable semi-soft material covering the inside threads of a nut. They are also called 'nylocks'.

Included is a link to a picture and an article about nuts in general

Add a period after 'general' and add the missing r to 'contempoary'. I should proof read more often, or not answer these after getting off of a 10 hour shift.

disagree  Annette Holmes: Sorry, I disagree. "Tryk" does mean pressure but "træk" means pull. I suggest "pull resistant" or "pull proof".
