ABSTRACT:
A split retaining ring is disclosed for detachably interconnecting a pair of axially aligned circular rims. The ring has ends and a circular side wall with front and rear flanges protruding radially inwardly therefrom. The ring ends are resiliently separable to accommodate installation and removal of the ring onto and off of the rims, and are resiliently closeable to confine the rims radially within the ring side wall and axially between its flanges. The rear flange has a radially tapered configuraiton with oppositely disposed minimum radial dimensions arranged to minimize the extent of separation required between the ring ends during installation and removal.
