The mount projection is configured to complimentarily mate to a bracket defining a recessed wall with a maximum width, corresponding to the maximum width of the mount projection, and a length, corresponding to the length of the mount projection, from a leading portion to a line associated with the maximum width. The mount projection is releasably retained within an opening of the bracket when a first projection and a second projection of the bracket are disposed within the first notch and the second notch, respectively, of the mount projection.
