Likewise, a second pair of rollers 17 are disposed on respective side members toward the lower edges of the side members to engage the lower lips of the receiving channels 19 and 20.
A rod 21 is provided and is rotatably attached substantially along the length of left side member 12. Rod 21 has a plurality of stop dogs 23, each having a V-shaped notch, radially aligned and attached for engaging retaining dog 24 which is attached to the adjacent receiving channel 20. Handle 25 is attached to an extending end of rod 21 for imparting an axial rotation thereto.
