Said jaw (30) also has a right bore (9) intended to hold a right longitudinal member (11) and having a longitudinal axis (15), said bore connecting the front surface (5) to the rear surface (6) and extending adjacent the right longitudinal surface (3). Said jaw also has a left bore (10) intended for holding a left longitudinal member (12) and having a longitudinal axis (16) which connects the front surface (5) to the rear surface (6) and extends adjacent to the left long side (4) and parallel to the right bore (9). Moreover, the lower surface (1) of the jaw (3) has a concave shape.
