The upper case includes a first case-side portion. The frame member includes a first frame-side portion that faces the first case-side portion. The wire harness is disposed so as to pass through a gap between the first case-side portion and the first frame-side portion, and includes a covering portion made of an elastic member that covers an outer circumference of the wire harness. The covering portion is in contact with the first case-side portion and the first frame-side portion, and is sandwiched between the first case-side portion and the first frame-side portion.
