The spring member is further formed with an engaging projected portion and a securing portion both formed in the frame and respectively engaged with an engaging uneven portion and a lower engaging recessed portion of the adjust member. When the adjust member is rotated, moderation is given to the rotation of the adjust member by the action of the elastically deformation of the frame with the aid of the engaging projected portion and the engaging projected uneven portion. | |
