Abstract:
A carrier assembly has a pair of side plates with axially aligned apertures in which are disposed pin members for rotatably supporting pinion gears. Each pin member has a slot which is alignable with a groove formed in one of the side plates. A locking plate has radially extending tab members which are positionable in respective ones of the groove and slots by simultaneous rotation of the pins and locking plate about their respective axis during assembly. A spring pin or roll pin is secured in an aperture in the grooved side wall and cooperates with a notch in the locking plate to prevent rotation thereof relative to the side plate after assembly with the pins.
