T!) 107mm 171? Z/ Mil/(167W: 1 said box is slotted or apertured, as at 6, to Be it known that I, LEO F.

Any suitable method of construction may be employed in producing devices of this character,the shank portion 1 being preferably formed and soldered or otherwise secured to the clip portion 2 3 and the box 5, which may be formed in any suitable manner. It will be observed that the form illustrated in Fig. 3 may be readily produced from a common or well-known form of stud having the Vertically-disposedchannel by forming apertures in the flanges thereof, preferably of such dimensions as to admit the attaching portions of both the spring and guards, thereby enabling such a device to be employed with springs and gu ards having their attaching portions extending in the sameor opposite directions or at right angles relatively to each other.
By forming the stud with the roof portion 10 to receive the pressure of the screw it will be observed that a relatively stationary bearing-surface is provided to transmit the pressure of said screw to both attaching portions, and as said screw-head bears upon a stationary portion of the stud all possibility of its loosening through motion of said attaching portions is eliminated. Moreover, as the posts or abutments between said bearing portions engage the lateral edges of said attaching portions of the spring and guard relative motion or displacement thereof is effectually resisted.
I claim as my invention 1.
