The receive portion includes an opening provided with an opening main portion into which the insertion main body is inserted and cutouts into which the protrusions are inserted when the insertion main body is inserted into the opening main portion, and overhangs that are disposed adjacently to the opening main portion to prevent, on a back surface of the receive portion, the protrusions from being pulled out due to elastic restorations of the protrusions that have passed through the cutouts.
