Abstract
There is provided a mounting construction of an elastic member of which one end is fixed to a mounting member fixed to and extending from a first member, the other end of the elastic member being engaged with a second member so that the second member is pressed against the first member, the elastic member having substantially a through hole extending in a pressing direction in which the second member is pressed. A first engaging portion, which is capable of being elastically deformed in a radially outward direction of the through hole, is formed on the one end of the elastic member. A first hook portion, being engaged with the first engaging portion, is formed on an end of the mounting member so that the first hook portion blocks a movement of the first engaging portion in a reverse direction of the pressing direction. The first hook portion may instead be elastically deformed. Additionally, the mounting member may comprise a plurality of circumferentially arranged protrusions capable of being elastically deformed, a center through hole being substantially formed in a center of the protrusions, at least one of the protrusions having a second hook portion protruding in a radially inward direction of the center through hole, a third member having a second engaging portion engaging with the second hook portion inserted into the center through hole so that the third member is mounted to the mounting member.
