Abstract
A filling recess () for a sealant 's' is formed in a bottom of a fitting recess () and a boundary stepped surface () is formed around the filling recess () to define an annular area between the filling recess () and the outer peripheral edge of the boundary stepped surface (). A detecting stepped surface () is formed around the upper edge of the filling recess () and is slightly lower than the boundary stepped surface (). A filled amount of the sealant 's' is proper if the detecting stepped surface () cannot be seen, but the boundary stepped surface () can be seen. The filled amount is too little if both stepped surfaces () can be seen, and it is excessive if neither of the stepped surfaces () can be seen.
