Abstract A slide-sleeve package has a pair of openings in the slide and a pair of tongues in the sleeve passing through the openings. The tongues, extending in opposite directions and transversely to the axis of the sleeve, engage the walls of the openings to provide a resistance to the axial movement of the slide.
