The first radius is greater than the second radius, and a groove is between the first and second back-panel support sections, for holding a longitudinal overlap section formed by first and second edge sections of the first and second back-panels, respectively. The first edge section is positionable outside the second edge section, with the first edge section facing a bottom of the groove. The bottom has a third radius less than or equal to the second radius. The groove has a first groove edge section having a first inclination, and a second groove edge section having a second inclination.
