The first guide section includes a first guide groove; and a first projection engageable with the first guide groove and movable along the first guide groove. The first guide groove has two ends, the first projection is contactable with at least one of the two ends at two points and the at least one end is formed such that the movement of the first projection toward the at least one end is stopped by the contact with the two points, and the two points have a distance therebetween which is shorter than a width of the first guide groove.
