Further said base or frame segment includes a locking tab portion for snap-like engagement in the locking slot when the base portion is assembled. The respective knuckle segments on the locking member and the base member upon assembly surrounding the rod-like members on the cover, thereby to maintain said cover in pivotal assembly with the base member.
