The second end of the first side is connected to the fourth end of the second side. A closure has a collar rotatably connected to a rotatable connection element. The collar is connected to the third end and located between the third end and the rotatable connection element. In an open configuration, the stem with the locking notch of the first side can be inserted within a locking cavity of the rotatable connection element. In a closed configuration, the rotatable connection element is configured to be rotated to engage the locking notch of the stem, preventing removal of the stem from the rotatable connection element.
