The said plate is also cut to form a passage 9 said passage communicating with a slotted portion 1.

In order to look said arm band or strap in said slot 6, the lugs 5 are crushed against said strap or band, thereby preventing the displacement of the same. Opposite said reress 6 and collateral thereto, is provided slots 7. having at its lower end an inwardly projecting lug 8, said lug 8 being preferably distanced from the lower lug 5 in order to pr vide a central passage 9 of the arm band.
