<p>FASTENING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING SAME A fastening apparatus and method for assembling same. The fastener includes a shaft having a groove. A second member, such as a collar, is received coaxially over and surrounding the shaft area including the groove. A deformable retainer, received between the collar and shaft, secures the collar on the shaft and is bent inwardly into the groove by an internal shoulder on the collar when inserted between the collar and shaft. The deformable retainer may be integrally and detachably formed with the collar. The method includes positioning the second member or collar, and inserting and deforming the retainer between the shaft and collar. The apparatus may be used to secure parts of bearing assemblies and retain bearing shields on such assemblies, in chain pin assemblies to form chains for conveyors or other applications, and for general fastening purposes. A eccentrically positioned interlock for preventing rotation between the inner race of a conveyor wheel assembly and support member supporting the wheel assembly is also included in the invention.</p> |
