The springs you are talking about are called No Sag Springs by the
manufacturer but in the trade I have always heard them referred to as Zig
Zag Springs. The bracket I use for re-attaching those springs goes by
different names. My supplier calls them a Zig Zag Spring Repair Kit,
although its just the bracket and a little wire retainer.
There is a patent # 3891198 stamped on the bracket. I looked it up and found
this
page: http://tinyurl.com/6cudc which I
have shortened using tinyurl. There is a diagram
of the bracket which demonstrates its use. The page requires QuickTime to view.
I've also attached a photo of one of my clips.
I purchase them from Keeton Supply in Fort Worth, TX

Don't let the cost of $18.95 for 20 keep you from purchasing them. They work
great, never had one pull out and I charge an additional $1.25 for each bracket
I use.
