(under subclass 598.4) Projection member wherein the noninserted portion of the projection member includes barrier means movably connected to the shank which directly closes or reduces (i.e., without the use of intervening projection structure) the unobstructed space between the tip of the projection and the shank when located in one of its positions to less than the amount of space needed to pass the projection into or out of the cavity.
