Each of the position adjusting means has a biasing spring for spring biasing a film attachment board in one direction among the longitudinal directions of the same and an adjustment member for adjusting the position of an end portion of the film attachment board against the spring force. Both of the biasing spring and the adjustment member are arranged on the socket body so that they act upon the same end portion of the film attachment board.
