The cover member 20 is provided with a depression 26 for inserting the fixing member 40 from the lower surface to both side walls. Further, a through hole 25 (hole) for passing the rod member 30 is provided at a position where the recess 26 overlaps with both side walls of the recess 21.

As shown in FIG. 4, the rod member 30 has the same structure as a well-known spring rod, and has protrusions 32 provided on both end surfaces of a rod body 31 so as to be able to protrude and retract. The length of the rod body 31 is, for example, about the sum of the width of the concave portion 21 and the thickness of both side walls of the concave portion 21. The diameter of the rod body 31 is slightly smaller than the through holes 11 and 25, and the diameter of the protrusion 32 is smaller than the diameter of the rod body 31. The protruding portion 32 is urged outward by a spring (not shown) in the rod main body 31 and normally completely protrudes from the rod main body 31. It is almost completely contained in the main body 31.

The fixing member 40 is made of stainless steel, for example, and has a through hole 42 (locking portion) for locking the protruding portion 32 of the rod member 30 on both end surfaces 41 bent at about 90 °. The diameter of the hole 42 is slightly larger than the diameter of the protrusion 32 and smaller than the diameter of the rod body 31.

The above-mentioned band body 10 is assembled to the cover member 20 as follows. First, the band body 1
0 is stored in the concave portion 21 of the cover member 20, the through-hole 11 and the through-hole 25 are positioned so as to overlap, and the rod member 30 is passed through the through-hole 11 and the two through-holes 25. Then, after the protruding portion 32 is pushed into the rod body 31, the fixing member 40 is fitted into the recess 26. Then, the through hole 42 is adjusted to the position of the through hole 25. As a result, the protrusion 32 is
