The second openings in the first row are also longitudinally aligned with each other but are transversely off-set with respect to the first opening. The third openings in the second row are longitudinally aligned with each other. The fourth openings in the second rows are also longitudinally aligned with each other and are transversely off-set with respect to the third openings in the second row. The teeth in the first rows face a first direction while the teeth in the second rows face a direction opposite to the first direction.
