The device has two brackets. One bracket has an elongated frame with a curved end and with an inclined wall extending about the curved end. The elongated frame portion is inserted in the end of the tubular portion of the base mounting for the shell which base mounting and its tubular portion extends along the bottom outer edge of the shell, along the opposing sides to the rear corners of the shell with the curved portion extending around the corner of the shell with the inclined curved wall providing a curved inside backing or reinforcing wall for the shell for the portions of the shell extending around the corner. The curved wall portion provides a continuation of the tubular portion around the corner and provides an upward surface inside the corner of the shell for mounting the shell, trim, and base together.
