Abstract

A fastening leg of a fastening edge of a trailing end of a flexible plate is inserted into a cooperating mounting slit in a cylinder by utilization of a plate trailing end inserting device. The trailing end of the flexible plate is caused to arc outwardly prior to insertion of the fastening leg into the mounting slot. This causes the effective length of the plate to be shortened.
