The adjacent body plates 5 on the circumference have their flanks adhered with adhesives to constitute the body A which is integrated on the whole. Through holes which links the inside and outside of the body A with each other are bored in the body plates 5 and the internal-surface coating plate 1 and external-surface coating plate 2 are connected in one body by synthetic resin link bodies 3 arranged in the through holes.
