R-clips are commonly used to secure the ends of shafts on axles and clevis pins. The straight leg of the clip is pushed into a hole at end of the shaft. This is done until the middle of the other (belly) bent leg of the R-clip grips one side of the shaft resisting any force removing the R-clip from its hole. To assist insertion, the end of the bent leg is angled away from the straight leg.
