Additionally, first pillar portionsand a second pillar portionare formed upon the inside surface of the first protecting member facing one side of the board surfaces, and a tipand a tipof these pillar portions, according to bending of the first protecting member, can be in either a contacted state or a spaced state with respect to the board surfaceor, alternatively, a projecting bodyfixed to the board surface. When the first pillar portions are contacting the one side of the board surfaces, there is a gap between the extended portion and the inside surface of the first protecting member such that they do not interfere with each other.
