Abstract
A locking member has a first surface, a first mounting opening and a second mounting opening. Each first mounting opening and second mounting opening is dimensioned to receive the shank portion of a corresponding rotatable member therethrough so that a bottom surface of a head portion of the rotatable member faces toward the first surface of the locking member. A first extending member extends elastically relative to the first surface, wherein the first extending member is disposed in close proximity to the first mounting opening. When the rotatable member is in a mounting position in the first mounting opening, the first extending member contacts the head portion of the rotatable member to inhibit the rotatable member from rotating in a first direction, and the first extending member deflects elastically when the rotatable member rotates in a second direction opposite the first direction.
