The shaft is extended through the hole of the holding member and the opening of the fixing member with an end face of a distal end of the shaft rotatably resting on the supporting portion of the support member and with the fixing member engaging with the engaging groove of the shaft, whereby the shaft and the inner flange of the holding member have a slight contact therebetween.
