<p>In order to clip independently rotatable parts (9, 10) that must be axially held relative to each other, but not be constrained from sliding axially together, each part (9, 10) has a bore and an internal annular groove (28) and the clip (22) has transverse flanges (23, 24) that spring out and enter the grooves (28) when the bores are aligned. The clip (22) has a gap so that the cross-section can be changed considerably by gripping holes (31) in the flanges with long-nosed pliars, or other gripping tool, that can enter the internal bores, address the clip (22) to the grooves (28), and release the clip (22) to enter the grooves (28). The tool is also used to remove the clip (22) for dissembling the parts. Thus the parts, eg mainshaft gears, that have to be slide each way to engage respective dogs, can be replaced individually - in contrast to existing gear-pairs which tend to be unseparable without destruction of the clip (22) (and usually of both gears).</p> |
