Several receptacles are side by side formed on the base seat and separated from the other by ribs. An engaging socket extends from one end of the receptacle. A double-face adhesive tape is disposed on the bottom face of the base seat. The upper cover is formed with locating posts for inserting into the through holes of the base seat. Two sides of the rear end of the upper cover are formed with two lugs each having a circular hole. A notch is formed beside the lug for a stopper block to insert therein. The stopper block is formed with several through holes for adjustment screws to pass therethrough. Two sides of a face of the decorative cover are formed with opposite connecting holes and an inner bottom face of the decorative cover is disposed with an engaging block. The surface of the decorative cover is integrally formed with a solid decorative pattern. Each antenna is integrally formed. A light emitting section is disposed at top end of the antenna. The light emitting section contains a diode enclosed by a transparent shade. A middle section of the antenna is formed with a spring pattern and the bottom end of the antenna is disposed with an insertion section. A conductive wire is disposed in the antenna. The antennas are arranged side by side and electrically connected with each other by a parallel conductive plate.
