Abstract
Notchesare filled with part of an elastic material that is injection-molded in a region containing the notches, so that a plate memberis taken in by the notchesthrough the repulsive force of the elastic material. Thus, the plate memberis secured. Further, the elastic material filling the notchesenlarges the joined portion between the plate memberand the gasket. Accordingly, the gasketis firmly joined to the surface of the plate member, and can be prevented from being lifted up from the plate member. Thus, the plate memberis firmly secured to the separator main body
