- a housing, said housing having a bottom wall, a peripheral wall being coupled to and extending away from said bottom wall, said peripheral wall having free edge;
- and
- a flange, said flange being coupled to said free edge of said peripheral wall, said flange extending generally in a direction away from said bottom wall;
- and
- wherein said peripheral wall of said housing comprises a front wall, a back wall, a first side wall and a second side wall, each of said walls having a distal portion and a proximal portion, an exterior surface of said distal portion of said front wall being concave, an exterior surface of said proximal portion of said front wall extending in a first plane for resting on a ground surface when said housing is in a tipped position;
- wherein a portion of the free edge on said front wall of said peripheral wall lies in the first plane of said proximal portion of said front wall such that said free edge is positioned on the ground surface when the exterior surface of said proximal portion of said front wall lies on the ground surface.
