Abstract
An apparatus for installing a spring retaining ring into a groove of a workpiece includes a storage unit, a passageway, a groove locator and a pusher. The passageway delivers the ring from the storage unit to the groove and includes interior and exterior portions as well as orientation member for orientation of the ring during its motion through the interior of the passageway. The substantially flat, spring-type groove locator has one of its ends connected to the passageway and another free end adapted for engagement with the groove. The pusher is movable within the passageway for forcible delivery of the spring retaining ring to the groove. In the operation, the free end of the groove locator is positioned within the groove to guide movement of the ring prior to its entry into the groove, whereas the free end of the groove locator is forcibly removed from the groove upon the ring entering the same.
