A cotter is a pin or wedge passing through a hole to fix parts tightly together.
Formerly, it was common to mount bicycle cranks using a cotter, although now a more easily maintained arrangement is typically used, such as a square tapered or splined interface. These cotters have a short threaded section at the narrower end of the taper, which is used to hold the cotter in place with a washer and nut. They are also used to secure ceiling fans to prevent falling if the mounting nut loosens.
