A segmented annular retaining ring having substantially the same trapezoidal cross-sectional configuration mounted in the recess with the vertical side thereof abutting the side of the work element. Clamping means circumferentially mounted on the segmented ring so as to exert an axial force thereagainst to wedge the ring into the annular recess.
