Abstract
A locking apparatus for limiting displacement of a fastener relative to first and second members interconnected thereby is disclosed. The locking apparatus may include a locking member which is insertable within a first bore of the first member. In particular, the locking member may have an elastically deformable upper portion and a leg which extend between the fastener and the first member to substantially inhibit displacement (e.g., rotational) of the fastener relative to the first member.
