a retainer;
a cable connected to the retainer having at least one segment arranged to be adjustably connected to a frame of the device, the cable being pivotally secured to the frame; and
a connector securable to an end portion of the at least one segment of the cable, the connector arranged to engage the frame and to limit extension of the first segment from the frame;
