Each plate includes a top edge, side edges, and a pivot edge. A notch is located in each of the side edges adjacent the pivot edge that receives and holds the stationary O-ring . At least one of the plates includes a channel located in each of the side edges between the notch and the top edge that receives and holds the rolling O-ring . The rolling O-ring is typically located at the top of the channel near the top edge. The O-ring s bias the plates to a closed.
