A frame-shaped cover () for covering resilient holding pieces () is mounted at an opening edge of a fitting (), and clearances Cb for permitting displacements of the cover () in forward and backward directions intersecting a mounting direction of a base () with respect to the fitting () are defined between the outer surfaces of front and rear walls (F,R)) of the fitting () and the cover (). Even if the base () is displaced forward or backward with respect to the fitting (), the cover () can be displaced in conformity with the position of the base (), wherefore the base () can be mounted reliably into the fitting ().
