An apparatus comprising:
- a cover comprising one or more positioners, wherein each positioner comprises a slanted portion and a landing;
- a clamping member comprising one or more outer lips;
- and the clamping member further defines one or more holes and one or more grooves;
- wherein the cover is coupled to the clamping member;
- and the one or more grooves are sized such that one of the one or more positioners can fit in the one or more grooves;
- the clamping member is configured to move between an attachment position and a secured position;
- in the attachment position a ledge is located on the landing;
- in the secured position, the one or more positioners extends through the one or more grooves, and the ledge is located on the slanted portion;
- as the clamping member moves from the attachment position to the secured position, as the cover is released, the ledge moves off the landing along the slanted portion resulting in relative lateral and vertical movement of the clamping member relative to the cover;
- and gravity can cause the clamping member to move from the attachment position to the secured position.
