Abstract
A shaft mounting on a frame includes a strap with an opening in it through which slidably projects a plunger also guided in an aperture in a clip joined to the strap. The plunger is pressed in one direction by a spring. A shaft lying across the strap is seated in a partially open, arcuate groove in a rectangular block. The groove has a surface curved about the axis of the shaft and is located at different distances from the various flat sides of the block. The block, in engagement with the shaft, is rolled between different positions against the strap and a position against the plunger and a bracket on the strap below the block.
