- a main body (7) having:
- an inner cavity (18) surrounded by a wall on sides thereof;
- a pair of adjacent walls (23) extending radially inwards from a bottom of the wall and having a space therebetween, wherein the pair of adjacent walls are recessed with respect to the bottom of the wall, thereby forming a bottom recess (24);
- a roof of having a top perforation which communicates with the inner cavity;
- a pair of first side walls (15) extending downward from the roof, such that gaps are present between the first side walls and a bottom end of the main body;
- a pair of end positions (17) extending inward from the wall;
- wherein two locking positions are formed, each of the locking positions being located between one of the first side walls and one of the end positions, the locking positions being located opposite each other, for receiving opposite ends of the lug;
- wherein the top perforation comprises two radial extensions extending outwards from a center of the top perforation, for insertion of the lug into the inner cavity.
