Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the positioning of a front cover, by moving the front cover, dismounted from a main body downward to a temporary stopping position and then moving the cover upward from there, and fitting the engaging member of the front cover to the positioning member of the main body. SOLUTION: In dismounting a front cover 3, a screw 12 is dismounted, also the engaging metal fitting 10 of the front cover 3 is dismounted from the bar-like part 6b of a positioning metal fitting, and then the front cover 3 is moved downward to engage the engaging metal fitting 10 with the bar-like part 7b of a temporarily stopping metal fitting, to make the front cover 3 into a temporarily stopped condition; and then a lamp is displaced. In moving the front cover 3 downward, it is guided along the right and left side parts of a main body 2 to be easily moved directly downward, because the peripheral part of the front cover 3 is folded to an inner side along the peripheral part of the main body 2. While since the temporarily stopping metal fitting is arranged in the direct below the positioning metal fitting, the downward movement of the front cover 3, while guided along the guiding means of the main body 2, naturally moves the engaging metal fitting 10 to the position of the temporarily stopping metal fitting to engage the engaging metal fitting 10 with the bar-like part 7b.
