It can be seen here that in the region of the recess 1 1 at the top of the base plate 9, a slightly inclined chamfer 13 is formed, which makes it possible to insert a tip of the base plate 9 a little way into the gap between the head 5 and the footprint 12, without it comes in contact with the head 5 to a deformation of the base plate 9.

If this happens, by turning the head 5, the user can increase the height d as necessary so that the base plate 9 can penetrate into the gap without kinking. However, the greater the height d is set, the smaller is the load resting after being pushed in on the base 4 resting on the base plate 9 and the foot diagonally opposite it.
  • FIG. 4 shows a section through an elastomer body 8 'according to a modified embodiment, which can be placed reliably even in more difficult conditions in the gap between the head 5 and the footprint 12.
  • Elastomer body 8 comprises as an additional component a tough, substantially non-elastically extensible band 15 which is secured to the base plate 9.
  • a piece of tape 15 extends through the recess 1 1 and passes over the front edge 14 of the base plate 9 via. In the configuration shown in FIG. 4, this portion of the band 15 extends through the gap and a distal portion of the band may be grasped and pulled by the user, for example with forceps, to force the base 9 under the head 5 , Since only tensile forces act on the base plate 9, there is no risk of buckling of the base plate 9, even if a considerable tensile force is required to force it under the head 5.
