To easily start it in the hole.
A cotter joint is one that is used to hold parts that might turn, as in an axle or a drive shaft. For example, on a child's wagon, the axles have a hole in each outside end. This hole is for a cotter pin (it looks similar to a bobby pin for the hair), that helps to keep the wheel on while the wheel is turning.

why what type of material is used?which are the manufacturing companies?what are its standard dimension?Cotter jointThese types of joints are used to connect the end of a rod or bar to a shaft. The end of the bar has a hole in it and it is called a lug. The hole carries a shaft. This shaft is locked in place by a smaller pin that passes through the side of the lug and partly or completely through the shaft itself. This locking pin is named a cotter, which sometimes is also applied to the whole joint.The obvious example is on a bicycle where both pedal bars are separately locked by a cotter pin, on their common driving shaft having the sprocket wheel.Steel is the most common material used for this application. There are no specific manufacturing companies who make only cotter pins, nor are there any dimensional standards by which they are designed.
It's very easy to replace the string on a pair of drawstring pants. Attach a large safety pin to one end of the string. Feed it through the hole and push it through to the other side, using the pin as a grip as you feed it. Once it's out the other hole, remove the pin and you are done.

It is always easier to remove a castle nut if you can remove the cotter pin first. Sometimes this is not easy and may require a punch hammer technique and lots of penetrating oil. If all else fails you can sometimes shear off the cotter pin by simply forcing the nut to loosen with a wrench if the tapered stud is still firmly stuck in the tapered socket.

Most cotter pins are bent at one end and a loop at the other. You have to straighten the bent ends and grab the other end with a pare of vice grips and pull . If it will not come out you may have to brake off the end of cotter pin and punch it out with a fine punch (some times you can use a small nail).
