A hinged cover is releasably disposable over the article retention portion of the body member for releasably retaining an article captured in the article retention portion of the body member. A first engagable clasp having a first latching surface is disposed on a second end portion of the cover and a first latch engaging surface is disposed on the body member, wherein the first latching surface is engagable with the first latch engaging surface when the cover is disposed over the article retention portion of the body member. A second engagable clasp having a second latching surface is disposed on the body member and a second latch engaging surface is disposed on the second end portion of the cover, wherein the second latching surface is engagable with the second latch engaging surface when the cover is disposed over the article retention portion of the body member. The first latching surface and the second latch engaging surface on the cover extend away from one another, and the second latching surface and the first latch engaging surface on the body member extend toward one another to prevent inadvertent release of the cover form the body member. | |
