The stamped member includes an elongated oblong base from which perpendicularly extends a short sidewall along the complete periphery thereof. The stamped member further defines a pair of openings and a pair of curved protrusions at each longitudinal end thereof, whereby ball bearings can be received at each such ends between the sidewall of the stamped member and a respective protrusion thereof. The central opening of each ball bearing lies opposite a respective opening defined in the stamped member. Two holes are defined in an aligned relation in the base wall of the stamped member and in one wall of the casing, whereby a pair of screws engaging respective aligned holes of the stamped member and of the casing ensure that the member is fixedly secured to the casing.
