A hollow longitudinal support comprises the top wall 2B, the curved side wall 2l, the straight side Wall 22 and Wall 20 comprising the members 23.

the bottom Wall parallel to the The top Wall 20, the curved side wall 2|, and one of the members 23 of th e bottom wall of the support form a longitudinal clamping pocket. The said top Wall 2li, the straight side wall other member 23,

22 and the of the bottom wall form a second longitudinal clamping pocket. The said members 23 at one end thereof are pressed against the top Wall 20 as shown in Fig. 3. The said longitudinal support at one end joins with the locking housing, comprising the top Wall and the bottom projections 3l spaced from and parallel to the said top wall 30, forming the locking pockets 32.

A fastening pin indicated with the cylindrical in cross section is outer member spaced from the longitudinal support and having the tapered end 36, and the inner member 31 positioned the said longitudinal support. The

members

35 and 31 are connected by the crown 38.

A clamping bar square in cross section comprises the outer member spaced from the longitudinal support and having the locking hook 4l at one end, and the inner member 42 located Within and fastened to the The
