The punch member is accommodated in the holder so that the front prod-shaped end portion, which has such dimensions that it can pass throuogh the central aperture in the nose portion of the holder outward, is present inside the holder prior to use of the device. The rear end portion of the punch member comprises means which, in cooperation with means provided on the inner wall of the resilient sleeve-like rear portion of the holder, prevent undesired backward movement of the punch member in the holder in which, however, at the area of said means the device is proportioned so that after activation the wall of the holder can expand resiliently outward within the outer sleeve so…
