ABSTRACT:
A structure in which a reservoir is supported by a bracket. The bracket has a side plate facing the external circumference of the reservoir and a bottom plate facing the bottom of the reservoir. An insert fitting portion formed onto the reservoir is fitted from above into a receiver fitting portion formed onto the side plate. A lock member is supported by the side plate like a cantilever at the upper edge of an opening formed on the side plate. A catch portion formed on the reservoir forces the lock member to displace elastically so that the lock member recedes from the reservoir in the course of fitting of the insert fitting portion into the receiver fitting portion. The side plate is elastically deformable in company with the elastic displacement of the lock member. When the fitting operation is completed, the lock member comes close to the reservoir to recover its original position and is placed on the top of the catch portion to prevent the upward dismount of the reservoir out of the bracket. An auxiliary receiver fitting portion is formed onto the bottom plate, and an auxiliary insert fitting portion is formed onto the reservoir, and thus, the reservoir is supported by the bracket at two support areas.
