ABSTRACT:
A lock member L1including an operation portion L1aand a lock bar L1bis disposed on each of first opposite side walls2to be brought down firstly toward a bottom portion1, and a pivotal shaft13formed in the operation portion is pivotally supported in a bearing hole2g2formed in each of the first opposite side walls to be brought down firstly toward the bottom portion. To allow cancellation of a lock state between the lock member and each of second opposite side walls to be brought down secondly toward the bottom portion, the operation portion is pivotally moved downward. During an unlocking operation, even when an operator pivotally moves the operation portion included in the lock member, the operation portion is prevented from being tilted. Thus, the lock bar of the lock member can be used to reliably perform the unlocking operation.
