[0077] According to Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the main housing 10 is generally configured in the shape of a frame or a box extending along the longitudinal direction. The main housing 10 has a longitudinally extending receiving cavity 11 formed or defined therein; the second body 200 can be received and retained in the receiving cavity 11. The receiving cavity 11 is open from the front side 150 to the rear side 160. In embodiments, the receiving cavity 11 is open at the front side 150 and the rear side 160.
