Abstract

An adjustable threaded member for repeated adjustment to selected position in which a nylon insert acts against complementary threads to frictionally resist rotation of the threaded members. The nylon insert is in a recess, at least one outer end of which is enlarged to form spaces forwardly and rearwardly of the insert in the direction of rotation of the screw for the purpose of accumulating particles and a distorted portion of the nylon insert.
