A locking device and its assemblage are provided for confining an object such
as
a shaft of a motor. The locking device is used to confine the shaft having an end
with a recess portion having a defining surface to prevent the shaft from being
displaced in an axial direction. The locking device is a geometrically closed-loop
body having an opening, and having a flexibility so that the shaft will pass through
the opening and the end of the shaft will thus be confined by the locking device
while the force disappears. The locking device is free from contact with the recess
portion of the shaft when the shaft is spinning. A simple process can be used to
assemble and disassemble the locking assemblage.
