Abstract
The first projecting portion () which is situated close to the entrance of the lock hole () imparts a reaction force to the lock arm () from therebehind so as to push the lock arm () towards the second projecting portion (). Therefore, the engagement force of the permanent locking projection () on the lock arm () with the second projecting portion () on the lock hole can be enhanced, thereby making it possible to enhance the lock holding force. In addition, without the pressure imparted from the first projecting portion () to a back of the lock arm (), the lock arm () would flex about the proximal end portion thereof, as a fulcrum, which is a support portion where to support the lock arm () which is the cantilever-shaped arm.
