Abstract

The case main body is saliently provided with an attachment bracket 65 having a screw hole 69 a and the attachment bracket 65 is provided with a slit 69 b communicated with the screw hole 69 a and extending to the radial direction outwardly. When the wiring harness guided out from the case main body is pulled or twisted at the time of recovery of the case main body, the axial portion of a securing bolt expands the slit 69 b and escapes from the slit 69 b so that the attachment bracket 65 detaches from the securing bolt. A taper portion 69 d is formed at the entrance side of slit 69 b for guiding the penetration of the securing bolt. The slit 69 b is positioned before an edge portion 69 c of the attachment bracket 65.
