Patent ID: 6898920

Claim:
A device for holding in the longitudinal direction a cylindrically-shaped body ( 26 ) having at least one radial projection ( 27 ) and for arresting same against a torque applied to the body ( 26 ) in one of two rotary directions ( 29 ) upon rotation about the longitudinal axis of the body ( 26 ), comprising a planar carrier ( 1 ) which is open at one side and which partially embraces the body ( 26 ) and which has a U-shaped opening ( 2 ) with an arcuate bottom ( 3 ), said arcuate bottom ( 3 ) having abutting said cylindrically-shaped body and—has an extended part-circular arc ( 3 a ) having a central point (M) with a central axis ( 6 ) extending there through perpendicular to the plane of the carrier ( 1 ). a projecting engagement portion ( 9 ) for arresting against rotary movements ( 29 ), characterised in that the projecting arresting engagement portion ( 9 ) is arranged in the radial direction to the central axis ( 6 ) of the part-circular arc ( 3 a ) of the bottom ( 3 ), at the level of the arcuate bottom ( 3 ) of the carrier ( 1 ), and is displaced radially in relation to the part-circular arc ( 3 a ) of the bottom ( 3 ) in the region of the open side of the bottom ( 3 ), and a counterpart support ( 12 ) is provided on the other side approximately on the part-circular arc ( 3 a ) in opposition relationship to the engagement portion ( 9 ), and that the counterpart support ( 12 ) is provided with an inclined run-out surface for supporting the round body ( 26 ) and is resiliently biased in a direction approximately towards the central point (M), which is on the central axis ( 6 ), of the part-circular arc ( 3 a ).
