Abstract An elongated rod, having a longitudinal direction, has a plurality of frameholders spacedly mounted thereon. Each frameholder includes a butterfly-like arrangement having a first wing and a second wing spaced from the first wing in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the rod. The wings flare outwardly from the longitudinal axis and in the longitudinal direction of the rod.
