Each of the positioning holes is defined by two shorter hole walls and two longer hole walls which have two stop ribs projecting toward each other therefrom. Each of the positioning plates has two positioning ribs abutting against the corresponding longer hole wall and has two locking ribs abutting against the annular frame so as to retain the positioning plate on the annular frame. Each of the positioning plates has a jingle slot formed therethrough. A pair of in-line receiving grooves are formed in the inward surface of the positioning plate on two sides of the jingle slot so as to receive one of the positioning bars within the receiving grooves in such a manner that the jingle unit extends through the jingle slot. Each end of the positioning bar is positioned between the corresponding stop rib of the annular frame and the corresponding positioning rib of the positioning plate in such a manner that the jingle unit is retained on the annular frame.
