The protector is provided with projecting side surfaces that are connected to the upper surface and the lower surface and are provided above and below the locking pin. The projecting side surfaces project to the inside of the recess to an extent greater than the maximum protrusion length of the locking pin at which the locking pin protrudes to the inside of the recess to the maximum extent. The lower surface of the protector is sloped downward toward the inside of the recess from the rear side wall on which the locking pin is provided.
