The protrusions in turn include at least one straight first protrusion having a longitudinal axis oriented in a first radial direction of the core, and at least one bent second protrusion. The bent second protrusion includes a base portion extending from the core and has a longitudinal axis oriented in a second radial direction of the core, and an end portion extending from the base portion and has a longitudinal axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the straight first protrusion.
