Abstract

A first cover body has a first space defined by peripheral walls. Each of a plurality of protruded portions has a through hole, and is outwardly protruded from at least one of the peripheral walls so as to define a groove communicated with the first space and the through hole. Each of a plurality of retainers is provided with one of the protruded portions. A second cover body is fitted with the first cover body so as to close the first space, while being retained by the retainers. A plurality of projections are provided on an outer periphery of a third cover body. The third cover body is disposed in the first space such that each of the projections is fitted into the groove so as to partition the first space from the through hole.
