Abstract

See full text

With the invention there is shown a C-shaped clip as a compression member (8) which can be inserted into a pocket (15) of a joint support (4) and which can itself be secured in this pocket against falling out of place by a latched arrangement. In this arrangement the two limbs of the clip act transversely to their spring direction as a spacer between a spring tongue (5) and a shoulder which are formed on the joint support (4). In this way a simple securing device arises which is recessed in the joint support (4) and which prevents springing back of the latched spring tongue (5) and is only loaded in compression. In the installed state the spring tongue (5) is not itself subjected to any alternating bending loads.
