A connecting wire 6 is made up of a sheathed pipe 602 and a wire 604 introduced into the sheathed pipe 602, and the end part of the wire 604 is introduced into the shaft-like member 8 and a connector 14 is attached to the wire 604. In addition, a recessed groove 16 is extensively formed in the shaft-like member 8 and has a first rack 18 formed at the bottom. Further, a protrusion which is to be engaged with the recessed groove 16 is formed in the inner peripheral face of the slider 12 and a second rack 26 is formed on the tip part of the protrusion.
