A top end side part of an operation lever 39 protruding from the sliding molded object 30 along the face of the main body mounting member 100 is made to serve as a knob jointing part 41 by bending the operation lever 39. An operation knob body 200 jointed to the knob jointing part 41 is sliding movement freely mounted on a knob mounting member 300. The knob jointing part 41 is jointed to the operation knob body 200 by mounting the knob mounting member 300 so as to face the main body mounting member 100.
