The channel (28) is defined by a groove on the inner surface of a peripheral rim axial to the said cover and is open to the outside by at least one slit-shaped opening (26a) formed in the said rim in a circumferential direction. Furthermore, there are formed, on either side of the opening or openings in the said circumferential direction and transversely to the latter, two small walls (29b) projecting downwards from the said rim. <IMAGE>
