Abstract
A magnet retaining pocket defined by a bore having a first bore portion and a second bore portion, wherein the first bore portion comprises a resilient tongue, and wherein the second bore portion contains an opening and a second attachment member recessed from the openings. The magnet is retained by the magnet retaining pocket by being inserted into the first bore portion to deflect the tongue and slid into the second bore portion, such that the first attachment member of the magnet engages the second attachment member of the second bore portion, until the magnet is exposed through the opening.
