Explanation:
I believe that something like the nojilock system from Matsumoto Industries is being referred to (see first link below).

噛み合い is sometimes translated as "interlocking" and I think that may be appropriate here.

agree  sigmalanguage: Agree with "interlocking" although I cannot totally agree with you that it really refers to the nut and bolt structure. It could be possible that two nuts are interlocked or that two parts are interlocked to comprise a nut.

  -> I agree that two parts are interlocked to comprise (something like a) nut, I just thing that the nojilock system is something like two parts that interlock to comprise a nut.
