Abstract
An improved ejector and housing connection is accomplished by forming a base portion of the housing with an internal confine for receiving a foot portion of an ejector base section which is made relatively wider than the elongated body portion of the ejector so that the foot section can be used as a stop within the correspondingly widened portion of the housing. The elongated body portion of the ejector is formed with detent members which coact within dovetail shaped grooves formed in the housing wall to maintain the ejector in a locked condition.
