- a support arm;
- a holding bar about parallel to and coupled to the support arm at a coupling distal end;
- and
- a flare extending from a portion of one of the holding bar and support arm, and
- a pivot bar between, and parallel to, the support arm and the holding bar, and engaging at a middle portion of the pivot bar along the length of the pivot bar, a portion of the holding bar and being pivotally coupled with the support arm at a pivot portion of the pivot bar,
- wherein the engaged portions of the pivot bar and the holding bar define a closure slot having a receiving entrance at a receiving distal end of the pivot bar and the holding bar;
- and
- wherein the support arm, holding bar and pivot bar are substantially planar and reside substantially within a first plane, and the flare substantially extends in a second plane that is perpendicular to the first plane.
