Abstract
A flexible pin which is used with a tubular hollow member is disclosed herein. The flexible pin is made from a reel of beryllium copper integral parts having the blades or fingers extending from a barrel shaped member having each finger bent toward the other about a first radius and upon each finger being formed to the tangent of a second and shorter radius, conforming the fingers to the second radius until the tips of the fingers approach each other. The transverse projection of the fingers is greater than the barrel diameter.
