Said bolt has asliding'fit in the central opening of said annular disk 22 in which'the outer end of the bolt rests with its outer face flush with the outer face ofsaid disk 22. 7 The inner end'of said bolt 27 extends from said'annular washer'24 to apoint on a line between'saidlopenings 18 and'19 and is of a width to have a sliding fitinto the annular. notch' l l in saidrod 12 when the latter is positioned insaid openings 18 and: 19. The distance of said notch 14 fromsaid head 13 is preferably such thatsaid head 13 holds.
Said locking arrangement is positioned on said rod 12 by pushing the endofthe latter through saidholes 18 and 19; the pointed end ofthe rod 12 serving to 'push 'said bolt 27 back against the compression of "said spring until said annular notch l 14 comes to a position fully adjacent ithe end. of the bolt when the latter-will be pushed by saidsp'ring 25 eyelets iand ;i-nto lockingfengagement"into notch 14: and the e'nd" of-rod 12 will extend ashort distance beyondlt b z i v T0? unlockjthe arrangement an'electromag- I net, or other: magnet, is applied to' theiouter r endofsaid bolt 27 to draw the inner end from i engagement with the] notch-in said rodv 12 'whereuponthelatter can be withdrawn 7 "-lt' will be of course understood thatiaplurality of annular: notches or othernotches -;s imilar to notch ll'can' be formed insaid rod 12 to adapt the device to lan'ips ;shades,etc.
