The stop 33 may form the bottom of a housing (36) [Fig. 2 (not shown)] for the block and be retained in position by wires 330, 331 located within annular groove 340. Alternatively, Fig. 4 (not shown), the stop is constituted by tighter turns (332) of the spring. The stop is movable to a lower position 341 on breakage of a thread. The support may comprise two axially stepped sectors (300), (301) [Fig. 5 (not shown)] of a disc./p[GB1519706A]
