The base comprises a block (16) extending outwardly from a rear end thereof. The sliding cover is movably assembled on the base. The cam lever comprises an actuating rod (31) and a handle (32) extending perpendicularly from an end of the actuating rod. The actuating rod is rotatably assembled between the base and the sliding cover and drives the sliding cover to move relative to the base. An integral latch (50) is provided in front of the block and comprises a lower bridge (51) extending forwardly from a bottom end of the block.
