The plate is sloped downwardly and baekwardly from a line E above the under side of the hooks as shown at l in Fig. t, and its lower edge is bent forwardly and upwardly into a hook F, forming a longitudinal channel (l. the bottom of which is arched slightly upward in the middle, as indicated by comparison with the straight dotted line II in Fig. 1. The under side of the hook F is tapered upwardly into a thin edge at each end of the channel G, being arched slightly upon the under side, in opposition tothobottom of the channel. The front edge of the hook is, at each end, tapered baekwardly to the bottom of the channel. G, as shown at ll in Fig. 2, and thence upwardly with a thin edge I to the rear side of the channel I) in the hooks O, as shownin Figs. 1 and 2.
