Abstract:
    An object of the present invention is to precisely judge by eye whether or not a filled amount of sealant is proper. A filling recess 25 for sealant s is formed in a bottom surface 23 of a fitting recess 22 and a boundary stepped surface 30 is formed around the fitting recess 25, thereby defining an annular area between the filling recess 25 and the outer peripheral edge of the boundary stepped surface 30. A wide visual confirmation area 32 is formed in a part of this annular area. A detecting stepped surface 34 slightly lower than the boundary stepped surface 30 is formed around the upper edge of the filling recess 25. In the visual confirmation area 32, the detecting stepped surface 34 and the boundary stepped surface 30 are respectively formed at inner and outer sides while having substantially half the width of the visual confirmation area 32. When the visual confirmation area 32 is seen from above, a filled amount of the sealant is judged to be proper if the detecting stepped surface 34 cannot be seen, but the boundary stepped surface 30 can be seen. On the other hand, the filled amount is judged to be too little if both stepped surfaces 34,30) can be seen, and it is conversely judged to be excessive if neither of the stepped surfaces 34,30 can be seen by being covered by the sealant.
