The blockand the liquid receiverhave respective fixing portionsand respective contact faceseach provided on the fixing portion. The outer peripheral surfaces of the fixing portionshave respective contours of the same shape and the same size. The liquid receiveris fixed to the blockwith the contact facesof the fixing portionsin intimate contact with each other. A tubular seal memberhaving rubber elasticity is liquid-tightly fitted around the fixing portions.
