Patent ID: 6899310

Claim:
A cage spacer comprising: a pair of legs each leg having a first end and a second end, the legs integrally joined at the first ends to form a V shaped body having a linear apex at the conjunction of the legs, a pointed roof extending along the linear apex, the pointed roof having an apex spaced from the linear apex and along the line formed by the linear apex for limiting a footprint of contact between the cage spacer and a mold wall, a clip member integrally attached at the second end of the legs for attaching the cage spacer to cylindrical objects, the clip member having, a C shaped receiving portion having a trough with a first C shaped end and a second C shaped end defining the length of the trough, the length of the trough aligned parallel to the linear apex for receiving the cylindrical objects, the C shaped receiving portion trough having a curved surface portion with a circular cross section perpendicular the trough length for engaging approximately half of the circumference of the cylindrical object to hold it securely in the clip, a pair of parallel arms integral with the C shaped receiving portion and extending beyond the cylindrical object, a radially extending arm at an acute angle from and integral with each parallel arm, extending toward the center of the C shaped receiving portion such that the radially extending arms are pushed aside to allow the cylindrical object into the C shaped receiving portion and then returning to their relaxed positions to hold the cylindrical object in place.
