Abstract
A conical retention ring is provided that includes an annular disc having a central axis, first and second major surfaces facing in substantially opposite directions along the central axis, a radially inner peripheral surface defining a central bore, a radially outer peripheral surface which is axially offset from the radially inner peripheral surface, and a spreading channel which is open from the radially outer peripheral surface to the central bore. The spreading channel allows the annular disc to spread apart to allow the central axis to receive a threaded fastener.
