In an arrangement for fixing elements on a shaft (10), the shaft (10) includes a number of holes (101-103) for receiving protruding stop pins (104-106) and each element (11-13) includes through-penetrating grooves (114;122,124; 132,134), which enable the elements to be moved along the shaft and beyond the pings, and blind-grooves (111,113;121, 123;131,133) which form stops against further axial movement of the elements. The shaft (10) has a uniform thickness and includes a number of circular grooves (107,108) on its mantle surface. Each element (11, 51-55-56) includes a snap-arm (115,55) that has an oblique leading edge in the forward direction of movement of the element along the shaft (10). When an element (12) is moved along the shaft (10) with its through-penetrating slots (122,124) in line with the pins (104,105) on the shaft, its snap-arm (126) is able to pass over mantle groove (109) in the shaft, and when the element (12) is essentially in its correct position on the shaft and the blind-grooves (121,123) are in line with the shaft pins (104,105), its snap-arm (126) is able to drop into the nearest mantle groove (108) upon further movement along the shaft, and remain in said groove (108). <IMAGE> |
