The rubber cap includes a base portion and a lip portion. The lip portion includes a first lip contacting the resin ring and a second lip configured to contact an inner peripheral surface of the case. If a pressure of a first chamber of the lip portion side is lower than a pressure of a second chamber at the side of the base portion, the second lip is separated from the case to relieve the pressure of the second chamber to the first chamber. The base portion includes a first restricting surface for restricting the base portion from moving, and a second surface for restricting the base portion from moving.
