(B) An inserting leg at a center part, holding arms curved and provided at right and left of upper ends of the inserting leg and a small projection protruding at the upper end of the center part of the holding arms are provided for the shaft member. (C) In the inserting leg, an upper end part width can be fit to the top hole, a part lower than the upper end part is tapered, a part immediately above the lower end is slightly larger than an inner diameter of the bottom hole and a lower end part is formed in a stepped form of which width is shorter than the bottom hole.
