oh, i just had to use one of those for a cigar fountain pen earlier. the set i had, uses it for a tension type hold on the cap. not a screw cap, but it's just pressed on and it kinda hugs the nib.

Pics won't do you any good.
The piece goes into cap (screws on a post that comes off the clip holding piece) and serves to hold the cap on the pen. When properly placed, you can't see it.

that is true. but be careful, they crack easily. and if it cracks, it won't grip the nib. and be careful with the assmebly itself, if put in too far, it won't catch the nib and the cap just falls off. which reminds me, i need another one.... haha

You should NOT use them, unless you are making a "pull apart" design rollerball or fountain pen.
You don't use them with a twist off cap design
