ABSTRACT:
An assembly including a mechanism for retaining a rotatable member, such as a caster, mounted on an elongated member, on a support. The support, such as, for example, the bottom of a sofa, has a bore hole for receiving the elongated member. A planar metal plate having a central opening is secured to the support so that its opening is aligned with the bore hole. A plurality of teeth are struck from the metal plate so as to project outwardly from a side face of the plate. The struck teeth leave a plurality of corresponding slots in the plate. The plate is secured to the support bearing the bore hole. A resilient member having a central opening is positioned between the plate and the support so as to be in alignment with the opening in the plate and the bore hole. When attaching the elongated member, on which the roller is mounted, to the support, the elongated member will pass through the opening in the plate and the resilient member into the bore hole. The dimensions of the opening in the plate and the inner dimensions of the resilient member are such as to firmly grip the elongated member when it is attached to the support.
