Abstract
Slits are each formed in one pair of first opposite side portions of a hinge body . By this, one pair of second opposite side portions of the hinge body can resiliently be deformed such that an interval between the second opposite side portions varies. An outside interval W between the second opposite side portions , at an opening end, of the hinge main body is designed to be larger than an inside interval between one pair of opposite inner surfaces of a receiving hole . By this, the one pair of second side portions of the hinge main body are press contacted with opposite inner surfaces of the receiving hole
