ABSTRACT:
A grid-shaped spacer includes a sheet-metal web having a web aperture formed therein defining two spaced mutually opposite aperture edges. The aperture edges oppose an elongation of an elongate spring which is curved about a direction transverse to its own longitudinal direction and which has a tab that engages through the web aperture at each of two spring ends. At least one of the tabs is snapped into a notch formed in one of the spring edges opposing the elongation of the spring.
