  • a substantially vertically oriented panel having an opening therein;

    said housing having upper and lower transverse grooves open outwardly of said housing for receiving respective upper and lower edges of said panel opening, a vertical dimension between an outer edge of said upper groove and a corresponding edge of said lower groove being greater than a vertical dimension of said opening and a vertical dimension between bottoms of said respective grooves being less than said vertical dimension of said opening, said housing being insertable into said opening to engage said lower groove over said lower edge permitting rotation of an upper surface of said housing through said opening to align said upper groove with said upper edge;

    resilient means in said lower groove biasing said housing upwardly to effect engagement of said upper groove with said upper edge; and

    means carried by said housing extendable into said lower groove within said panel opening preventing downward movement of said housing within said opening sufficient to permit disengagement between said upper groove and said upper edge.
