The fork is pivotally supported by the knob and includes two fork pivots. The knob includes two pivot receiving portions each having a pivot receiving hole. Each fork pivot is inserted into the pivot receiving hole of the corresponding one of the pivot receiving portions. An overlapping portion is provided at least at part of a location at which the fork and each pivot receiving portion contact each other.
