Peripheral slots are equiangularly spaced apart around the perimeter of the housing in communication with the chamber, each slot having a narrow portion and an enlarged portion. A retainer clamped between the base and cover members has arms respectively resiliently engaging the cover member for closing the enlarged portions of the slots. Key hooks are respectively associated with the slots, each hook having an enlarged head which passes through the enlarged portion of the slot but not through the narrow portion thereof, the resilient arms of the retainer being deflectable by the key hook head for permitting insertion into and removal from the housing. Visual and tactile indicia are provided on the base member and/or the cover member for respectively designating the slots. Each key hook has a bent portion near the mounting head to permit it to hang vertically in the associated slot regardless of the orientation of the housing.
