Abstract
A through-hole of a flat spring has a shape that defines an opening area larger than the cross-sectional area of an end segment of a shaft and is subject to contact with the rotating end segment. A through-hole of a plate has an opening area larger than the cross-sectional area of the end segment and smaller than the opening area of the through-hole. The end segment is inserted through the through-hole and the through-hole and is swaged to form a space between the through-hole and the end segment, and the space is filled with grease.
