A latch mechanism is supported on a surface of the flange portion on the side of a pod body slidably in a direction parallel to a flange side wall, and an engagement portion of the latch mechanism reaches the engaged portion through the insertion hole to make state change between engagement and disengagement according to movement of the latch mechanism.
