A lockable pin comprises a ring-like locking element which is cut at a place on the circumference to provide free ends at which it is pivotally attached to the pin body. In use, the pin is inserted in a throughgoing hole formed in a shaft end and the locking element is brought into engagement with a recess formed in the front end of the pin body or with an annular groove formed in the shaft end. The locking element is firmly held in the recess or groove by the elasticity of the locking element itself or by an upward elastic force acting on the pin body. |
