A locking member is provided for properly locking an electrical device turning member and fixed member together. The locking member includes an elastic engaging piece and an elastic touching piece. The elastic engaging piece engages an in-hole projection of an engaging hole of the turning member upon insertion of the locking member into the engaging hole. The locking member elastic touching piece contacts the inside wall of the engaging hole upon insertion of the locking member into the engaging hole. The locking member further includes a latching part for engaging a latching projection of the fixed member. The elastic engaging piece and elastic touching piece both provide for sway prevention of the locking member within the engaging hole, and securely lock the locking member within the hole.
