The internal configuration of the retaining element 18 is of smaller dimension than the external configuration of the body, backing and permanent covering lt 'whereby when theretaining element is forced into place the-padding will be compressed to suchian 7 extent as to prevent casual displacement 1 of the retaining elei'nent and removable pol-* ishing" material.
