Abstract
A snap ring which has a substantially radially directed ring section with a support surface and a substantially axially directed ring section with a lateral surface, the two ring sections forming an L-shaped cross-section, and a ring gap. For ease of use, at least one of the two end sections that face each other in the ring gap is turned outward in the radial direction in relation to the rest of the ring profile by bending, and, in the bent region, the axial ring section has a notch.
