Abstract

A pivot pin or the like is retained in an aperture in a supporting structure by a removable locking element inserted by movement transverse to the axis of the pin into a position lying between one end of the pin and a fixed flange-like retaining element which is secured to the supporting structure adjacent the aperture. In the illustrated embodiments the end of the pin is partially cut away so as to form a notch for receiving the locking element.
