Two mounting walls extend downwards from the side edge portions, and have positioning walls axially spaced apart from the plane. An anchoring seat is disposed on one of the mounting walls immediately upstream of the positioning wall in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, and is spaced apart from the plane with a width larger than that between the positioning wall and the plane. A protective covering member includes an upper annular secured portion, an anchored portion extending from the secured portion radially, inwardly and downwardly so as to engage the anchoring seat for suspending the covering member from the mounting bracket in a non-fastened state, and a supported portion extending from the secured portion radially and inwardly. When the secured portion is brought towards the plane from the non-fastened state, a subsequent adjustment of the position of the upper annular secured portion will shift the anchored portion to the positioning wall, thereby bringing the supported portion to sit on the other positioni…
