Abstract
An inertial ring lock, in the form of a semi-circular ring washer, is used as a retainer for a threaded fastener in threaded engagement with a threaded aperture in a support element, the ring lock being snapped into a relief groove in the threaded fastener to loosely encircle the threaded fastener in position to loosely engage the support element when the threaded fastener is fully threaded therein.
