Abstract
A seal cover for closing an annular opening portion having locking projections provided on an outer peripheral surface includes a fitting portion having a seal ring (example of a sealing member) fit on an outer peripheral surface and locking portions configured to be pushed and resiliently deformed by the locking projections and move over the locking projections to be locked to the locking projections when the fitting portion is fit into the opening portion. Tapered surfaces for delaying a time point when the locking portions are maximally resiliently deformed from a time point when the seal ring is maximally compressed when the fitting portion is fit and inserted into the opening portion are formed on front end parts of the locking portions in a connecting direction.
