One of the first and second cylinders is partially inserted in the other one of the first and second cylinders. The first cylinder is partially inserted in the second cylinder. The buffer includes a ring mounted on the first cylinder. The buffer includes a groove defined around one of the first cylinder for receiving the ring. The base includes two ears formed thereon. The first cylinder includes an ear formed at the closed end and mounted on the ears of the base. Each of the ears of the base includes a boss formed thereon facing that of the other one of the ears of the base, and the ear of the first cylinder defines two recesses for receiving the bosses of the ears of the base.
