Abstract
A mechanical connection for securing a reinforcing strip to a flange on a deep-drawn receptacle, such as an oil pan, includes a tab formed on the outer edge of the flange, and opposed notches formed on edges of the reinforcing strip. The notches are aligned with the tab, and the tab and a segment of the side wall of the receptacle are staked into engagement with the notches to secure the strip to the flange.
