Abstract
The object is to allow rotatable rollers to rotate smoothly. Rotatable rollers axially supported by bearings provided in a retainer so as to be rotatable include legs, each of which has an engaging part engageable with the corresponding bearing. A sliding part of the leg which is slidable against an inner circumferential surface of the bearing has a cross-sectional shape which is contactable with the inner circumferential surface over a width smaller than a width of the leg.
