Fig. 3, is a plan view showing the method of placing in position the spring. Fig. 4 is a detached View of the central arbor. Fig. 5 is an elevation of a portion of the barrel.
A designates the central arbor or post and formed therein .is the slot B of the samewidth as the enlarged end of spring 0, which end is formed into a hook D. Thus a very secure connection between the center and post is obtained.
The barrel E has formed therein a short slot F, while communicating with the same is a Serial No. 484,393. (No model.)
longer slot G, reaching nearly to the lower edge of the barrel. A head H on the end of spring 0 engages the barrel and holds theinserted and the inner hook end of the spring engaged with slot B. The cover is then placed upon the barrel and the arbor revolved until the spring is entirely moved around the same.
Having thus fully described my invention, 1 claim- 1. The combination of acenter arbor having slot B,formed therein,amain spring with a hook on its inner end to engage said slot, a barrel having a slot in its wall, and a head at the outer end of the spring to engage the barrel adjacent said slot, substantially as shown and described.
2. The combination of an arbor, a main spring secured at its inner end thereto,a barrel having communicating slots F and G, for the purpose described, and a head on the outer end of the spring, substantially as shown and described.
