FIG. 8 is a side sectional view taken along line 8 - 8 of FIG. 5 ; and,

FIG. 9 is a front sectional view taken along line 9 - 9 of FIG. 5 .

The dash-dash broken lines in the figures are for the purpose of illustrating unclaimed surfaces or environment of the design. The dot-dash-dot broken lines define unclaimed boundaries of the design. The broken lines are thus not part of the claim.
