According to the present invention a rectangular thin sheet of sponge is glued to the inside of a'U'shaped rectangular piece of metal or plastic.

A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which: Figure 1 shows in perspective the'U'shaped piece together with the inside sponge layer.
