The bodycomprises either a single or a plurality of embedding portionshaving either a recess or a hole. A saturation holding memberis embedded in the embedded portion. The saturation holding memberholds a larger amount of lubricant per unit volume than the bodyholds the amount of lubricant, and has a relationship ensuring that it has a force sucking the lubricant equal to or smaller than that the bodyhas.
