a case having a first wall bounding a space for holding a plurality of electric components;
a housing disposed on an outer surface of the first wall, the element disposed within the housing, the housing including a back wall, an outer side wall, and a front wall, the housing further including a pair of supports disposed on the back wall of the housing and spaced apart from each other, each of the pair of supports includes an upper support member and a lower support member spaced apart from each other so as to define an opening, the upper support member has an arcuate inner surface and the lower support member has an arcuate inner surface each having a radius greater than the opening; and
a cover having an axial rod, the axial rod includes a pair of intermediate portions, the pair of intermediate portions have a thickness which is smaller than a height of the opening and a width which is greater than the height of the opening, wherein a rotation of the axial rod prevents the cover from being dislodged from the opening.
