The cup is similarly formed of a main wall and a side wall, the main wall being generally coextensive with at least a major portion of the enclosure member main wall. The cup may engage the enclosure in a manner such that its movement within the enclosure is limited. Movement of the components within the cup may also be restrained. A cover for the cup may also be provided.
