Spring Chaplet

A form of stud, usually made by bending a short piece of hoop-iron so that the open end serves to spring back, and hold in place some loose core or piece of mould. Their strength must be in proportion to the pressure to be exerted, and some consideration should be given to the possibility of their melting in places where there is a strong current of molten metal. See CHAPLETS.
