The first wall has a left passageway at its back. The second wall has a right passageway at its back. The cover has a left back board with a left rivet and a left fixing arm. A right back board has a right rivet and a right fixing arm. The cover and the housing are assembled after the rivets are received in the corresponding passageways respectively. After the cover is opened, the fixing arms are inserted into the corresponding fixing holes respectively so that the cover can't come off the housing.
