Each segment further has two longitudinal ribs connected to the bottom portion along the longitudinal edges and rising radially from the bottom portion. Each segment also has a transverse wall portion extending transversely to the bottom portion and the ribs and interconnecting the ribs with one another at a front-side longitudinal end of the segment.
