The device has a guiding channel (37) associated to a vertical wall or side (12) and defining a horizontal direction guiding path in an operating position of the device. An elongated flexible retaining unit i.e. elastic strip (14), is arranged parallel to the path and has a longitudinal end (38) movable in the channel between a retracted position and the operating position.
