Rings

Rings are circular parts that are used to secure items with various shapes and sizes to cylindrical or spherical surfaces. They may also be utilized as seals at the end of unevenly mated tubes or piping or as pieces that separate the surfaces of two adjoining cylinders or curved parts. It's also common for rings to be snapped together into chains or to act as easily handled end pieces for control lines, chords, or wires. Though rings can be punched from a single sheet of metal, they are also spun as a tightly wound coil that is made from a single metal wire. These rings are commonly employed as key rings or as fasteners.
