Abstract
An assembly having an outer component, an inner component, and a ring positioned between the outer component and the inner component, where the ring has at least one radially extending projection adapted to seat within at least one groove in the inner component or outer component, and where the projection is adapted to compress radially to allow rotational or axial movement between the inner component and the outer component upon application of rotational or axial force respectively to at least one of the inner component or the outer component.
Claims19
An assembly comprising:
- an outer component;
- an inner component;
- and
- a ring positioned between the outer component and the inner component, the ring
- comprising at least one radially extending projection adapted to seat within at least one groove in the inner component or outer component, wherein the at least one
- projection is adapted to compress radially to allow axial movement between the inner component and the outer component upon application of axial force respectively to at least one of the inner component or the outer component, then expand to fill the groove in the inner component or outer component to impede axial movement during application of an axial force.
