Abstract
The invention contemplates selectively securing a bearing ring or the like to a cylindrical shaft, using a collar rotatably carried on a slotted end of the bearing ring. The collar bore and the collar-overlapped part of the slotted end have substantially conforming contours; in the case of the ring contour, a minimum radial extent characterizes the angular region of any slot, and a maximum radial extent characterizes an angularly offset location which, for the case of a two-slot ring, involves maximum radial extent angularly intermediate the slots. Various forms are described.
