Abstract
At regular intervals, the grid strap has formed therein notches for assembly with transverse straps. Between at least some pairs of notches, it has a rod-holding spring comprising two resilient strips cut out from the plane wall of the strap and integral therewith. Each strip extends transversely relative to its strap and is connected to the common portion of the strap at its two ends. In the free state, the strips project towards the inside of the cell concerned and they are interconnected in the middle by a transverse bridge which projects relative to the two strips.
