Each of the side plates has a flange extending toward the other side plate. The frame has a first end thereof so as to engage with the stop of the back plate when the frame is in its first position. An aperture is defined in the second end of the frame so that when the frame is pulled away from the back plate, the stop is engaged with the aperture so limit the frame from dropping from the back plate.
