The resilient steel member has a grip part formed almost at the center, bends backward from both ends of the grip part while avoiding the pressing part, passes through the first base member 44 or 64 and is inserted in the second base member. The resilient steel member has collars in two parts, and fastening parts for locking the collars are formed in the first base member.
