Snap ring intended for prevention of looseness of a nut

摘要

A snap ring is attachable to and detachable from a bolt with ease, the snap ring having a twisted part that enables the snap ring to extend around portions of two adjacent convolutions of the thread, the snap ring also having a split to enable portions of the snap ring to pass from one convolution to an adjacent convolution over the crest of a thread to thereby prevent the nut from coming off the bolt.
