Abstract
Abstract A housing includes a pan shaped front cover having a front open wall with a rectangular peripheral flange formed around the front wall and a pan shaped rear cover having a closed end and an open end to connect with the rectangular flange. A plurality of engaging members are formed on the peripheral flange. A pair of elongated plates spaced parallel and apart from one another having a length equal to the length between the front and rear cover. Each of the elongated plates have a front end with an engaging member and a rear end with another engaging member. An elongated recessed groove facing into the interior of the housing extends from the front end to the rear end. An auxiliary plate extends inclinedly from the intermediate of the elongated plate toward the front cover. The free end of the auxiliary plate has an engaging member. The rear ends of the elongated plates are connected by a transverse plate.
