These are some cotter pins:

They are used to keep rods or shafts in place in assemblies. The rod/shaft usually has a hole drilled in it. Sometimes, both "legs" of the pin (the long, straight parts) go through the hole. The legs are then bent so the pin won't come out. Other times, one leg will go through the hole, but the other will go around the outside of the rod/shaft. It's all in how the pin is designed and how the pin will be used. If you have a removable ball hitch on your vehicle, it may use a cotter pin to keep the rod that keeps the removable part of your hitch in place. Here's a diagram I found via Google showing that kind of hitch assembly, where B is the rod being kept in place:

In the picture that Roarbot posted, these are the cotter pins:

(Someone's bound to come up with a "Welcome Back, Kotter" joke soon...)
