ABSTRACT:
An applicator for installing a retaining ring into an external groove of a workpiece comprises a base plate forming a ramp. A forward end of the ramp includes a slot for receiving a groove workpiece. A groove locator is mounted on the base plate for movement between a locating position within the groove of the workpiece, and a retracted position. The groove locator is yieldably biased to its locating position. A pusher is mounted for sliding movement along the ramp for pushing a retaining ring forwardly into engagement with a cam face of the locator to cam the locator to its retracted position as the retaining ring enters the groove of the workpiece.
