The single-piece retainer comprises a mounted end and an actuable end, with an integrally formed hinge connection therebetween. The actuable end has side panels to effectively close the sides of the space between jaw members when releasably retained in its "up" position; when the actuable end is released and downwardly hinged, the open sides of the space between jaw members is exposed, and accumulated clippings can be discharged under control, i.e., without scatter. | |
