The leg spring has two spring legs of which are in each case supported on the two clip parts so as to mutually pretension the two clip parts. The leg spring is formed from a plastics material, in particular PEEK, that is reinforced with continuous carbon fibers. The continuous carbon fibers are aligned along the spring coilings of the leg spring. The two clip parts have in each case one axially projecting protrusion on which the respective spring leg of the leg spring is supported.
