The body would normally have determined position. The aperture defined by a series of apertures housing pin-receiving conthe flange of the can a will obviously be varied, tacts but these are omitted for the sake of clarto correspond with the cross-section of the body ity. The body 2 has a flattened side 4 whereby 2. the body is substantially U-shape in cross-sec- Iclaim: tion- The holder is assembled with e support 1.
