Word needed, "bump" at end of cylinder

Jun 27, 2007 4 Replies

Hi, looking for the technical name for a small cube at the end of a cylindrical button, the button gets fed through the cover and the cube stops the button coming right through. There are four cubes if that makes any difference. ta



Hard to understand what you're describing here, but they'd usually be termed a "lug" and may be part of a "bayonet lock" (if you rotate the cylinder to lock it in place using the lugs).

Flange? A protruding rim, edge, rib, or collar, as on a pipe shaft, used to strengthen an object, hold it in place, or attach it to another object.

thanks, it wasnt even near the tip of my tongue, but they are lugs.
