The outer jacket includes: a pressed portion which extends in a direction leaving an axial line from the outer periphery of the outer jacket and is urged by the urging member, a slit which extends in the axial direction over the pressed portion from the end of the outer jacket, and a notch which leads to the slit extending over the pressed portion.
