<p>The present invention relates to a retained member configured to prevent centrifugal force from disassociating a retaining ring provided with lugs from a groove located on a rotatable shaft when securing the retained member to the rotatable shaft and rotating with the shaft. The retained member includes a substantially annular portion and a retention lip provided with a cutout portion. The substantially annular portion defines an opening sized to receive the rotatable shaft so that the retained member is rotatable with the shaft. The cutout portion is configured to accommodate the lugs when in an installing position as the retained member is snap fit into the groove.</p> |
