Abstract
For mounting a pin on a supporting member, an axial bore is formed at one end of the pin having a stopper edge, while the supporting member has a throughhole through which the pin is inserted. A radial throughhole is formed in the pin at a position spaced from the stopper edge by a distance slightly greater than the thickness of the supporting member, the radial throughhole having an inner end open to the axial bore. A hairpin-like latch spring has two bifurcated legs which are inserted into the axial bore. One of the legs has a free end portion bent so as to be able to extend through the radial throughhole and project for a predetermined length when the spring legs have been fully inserted into the axial bore. The pin is mounted on the supporting member axially immovably through cooperation of the stopper edge and the projecting free end portion of the spring leg.
