This holder 2 is abutted against a mask holder locating reference member 6 through the intermediary of a spring 5 restricting the vertical movement of the holder 2 by another spring 7. The mask 1 is abutted against a verticall locating reference member 10 of the mask 1 through the intermediary of the other spring 9.
