- 前記ハウジング本体および/または蓋が、前記回転軸から遠い側となる先端領域に、前記蓋が前記開口部を閉鎖した状態で前記ハウジング本体と前記蓋とを保持するための係合部を有し、
前記係合部によって、前記蓋が前記開口部を閉鎖した状態で前記ハウジング本体に保持されたときに、前記突出部を支点として、前記蓋の前記基端領域が前記底壁から離れる方向に持ち上げられて、前記軸部が前記軸受部に対して押圧される、請求項1または2に記載のハウジング。 - 前記第1軸方向対向面および/または第2軸方向対向面は、前記第1軸方向対向面および/または前記第2軸方向対向面から前記軸方向に突出する第2突出部を有し、
前記第2突出部の前記軸方向への突出量は、前記第1軸方向対向面と前記第2軸方向対向面との間に前記軸方向に生じる軸方向隙間の大きさよりも大きく、前記第2突出部は、前記蓋が前記開口部を閉鎖した状態で、前記軸方向隙間に嵌まり込むように構成されている、請求項1~3のいずれか1項に記載のハウジング。 - 前記蓋が、前記軸方向で離間して配置された一対の前記第1軸方向対向面を有し、
前記側壁が、前記軸方向で離間して配置された一対の前記第2軸方向対向面を有し、
前記一対の前記第1軸方向対向面の間の軸方向の距離、および、前記一対の前記第2軸方向対向面の間の軸方向の距離は、前記蓋が前記ハウジング本体に取り付けられたときに、前記第1軸方向対向面および前記第2軸方向対向面が、前記軸方向で互いに押圧されるように設定されている、請求項1~3のいずれか1項に記載のハウジング。 - 前記第2突出部は、前記蓋に設けられた前記第1軸方向対向面に設けられ、
前記第2突出部は、前記蓋が前記開口部を閉鎖した閉鎖状態から前記ハウジング本体に対して所定の角度開放した状態では、前記軸方向隙間に嵌まり込まず、前記蓋が前記開口部を閉鎖する閉鎖状態の近傍となる閉鎖近傍領域で、前記軸方向隙間に嵌まり込むように構成されている、請求項4に記載のハウジング。 - 前記ハウジングは、車両に配索されるケーブルが接続されるように構成されている、請求項1~6のいずれか1項に記載のハウジング。
