ABSTRACT:
A retainer arrangement for a stationary shaft, rod or the like for retaining the shaft against upward movement in an upwardly open recess or slot of a support bracket, and the combination of the retainer with the shaft and with the support bracket. The retainer arrangement comprises a retention spring clip which encircles a substantial portion, such as 270.degree., of the shaft periphery contiguous the supported end of the shaft. The upper portion of the retention spring clip is formed to include opposite laterally spaced axially extending lugs which are adapted to snap each into a corresponding retention groove carried by the respective opposite recess-bounding walls of the support bracket when the shaft is seated in the upwardly open recess or slot of the support bracket. With the lugs of the retention spring clip engaged with the oppositely disposed retention grooves of the support bracket, the lugs are in axially overlying relation to oppositely disposed upper surface portions of the shaft, whereby to prevent upward movement of the shaft out of its seated position.
