Abstract
A one-piece detent for mounting in a bore, the detent including a foot, a head and a resilient connecting member therebetween. The foot is disposed against a stop in the bore and the connecting member urges the second end outwardly from the bore. The connecting member provides a resiliency when a force is applied against the head of the detent, such that the connecting member is partially collapsed in the bore.
