the improvement comprising

the provision, intermediate the ends of the stud but adjacent to one end thereof, of an accordionated region where each of the lateral walls and main wall is formed to define at least one peak configuration including two flanks oblique to the main stud direction and converging to define an apex, the flanks being delimited by crease lines substantially perpendicular to the direction of stud elongation.
