Abstract:
A flexible wirelike retainer clip (14) is adapted to hold a plurality of disclike rings (12) in a stacked assembly. The retainer clip (14) is resilient and can be selectively actuated to hold the rings (12) in a stacked position to facilitate handling for various purposes such as processing the rings (12) while stacked, shipping the rings (12) while stacked and to facilitate release of the rings (12) for assembly to other components. The resilience of the retainer clip (14) facilitates accommodating stacks of rings (12) within a range of varying lengths.
