• an arm having a first end and a second end distal from the first end, the first end pivotally coupled to the base, the arm pivotal between an open position with the distal end of the arm pivoted away from the top of the base, and a locked position with the distal end of the arm pivoted to abut the base;
• a cam within the base adjacent the cavity, the cam moveable from a first position with a portion extending into the cavity to a second position where said portion is moved away from the cavity and into the base;
• and
• a locking indicia on the cam, the locking indicia viewable through the viewing window only when the cam slides into the second position.

• and
• locking indicia on the second end of the cam, the locking indicia viewable through the viewing window only when the cam slides into the second position.
