The reason forjemployinga triangular bas/ek for the lugs is that thereby each apexlof the base may carry one of the three lugs, whereby the group ofV lugs has a spaced,r triangular arrangement that enables any two-of thelugs to engage, between respective opposite sides thereofalmetal part or object. which requires to be bent or straightened.v Other featuresand advantages of my invention will hereinafter appear.
