ABSTRACT:
An article has a tubular barrel (4) formed with a cavity and a catch (6) extending within a cavity window (5). A threaded rod (22) is adapted to be received in the cavity. In the absence of stress, the catch (6), in a rest position, has a wedge (12A) projecting inside the barrel (4). This wedge has a first inclined face (14) which faces the inlet opening (13) in the barrel and is inclined theretowards and towards the outside, and having a second face (15) which is opposed to the first and inclined in the opposite direction from the inlet opening (13) towards the outside. The catch (6) is adapted to tilt resiliently towards the outside when a force normal to the first inclined face (14) is applied thereto and to tilt resiliently inwards when a force normal to the second inclined face (15) is applied thereto. The article is used, when made of plastics material, with a threaded metal rod.
