is integrally molded with resin, and as shown in an enlarged view in FIG.
It has a groove portion 91 for receiving the leg portions 2a, 2 of the inner lens 2 on both sides at a position slightly below the groove portion 91.
It is provided with other grooves 92 and 93 for receiving b. The outer portions of the groove portions 92 and 93 extend downward and branch into two fork shapes, forming elastic pieces 94 and 95, respectively. Two locking claws 96 and 97, which are locked portions, are formed at the outer lower portions of each of the elastic pieces 94 and 95, respectively. This locking claw 96,
Each of the elastic pieces 94 and 95 may have one locking pawl that is continuous along the longitudinal direction.
