Abstract
A lock member Lincluding an operation portion Land a lock bar Lis disposed on each of first opposite side wallsto be brought down firstly toward a bottom portion, and a pivotal shaftformed in the operation portion is pivotally supported in a bearing holeformed in each of the first opposite side walls to be brought down firstly toward the bottom portion. To allow cancellation of a lock state between the lock member and each of second opposite side walls to be brought down secondly toward the bottom portion, the operation portion is pivotally moved downward. During an unlocking operation, even when an operator pivotally moves the operation portion included in the lock member, the operation portion is prevented from being tilted. Thus, the lock bar of the lock member can be used to reliably perform the unlocking operation.
