Therefore, the distance between the main board 25 (71) and the front cover 21 (26) can be shortened to reduce the size, and the screwing portion can be arranged on the side, so that the front of the housing The (back) appearance is not impaired.

ミッドブリッジ72は、一枚の板金で形成され、板金に孔部75を設けて固定部とし、端部74の一部を下方へ折り曲げて、端部の他の部分を挿通部76としているため、簡便に挿通部76を形成することができる。また、下方へ折り曲げられた端部(緩衝部77)は、前面側カバー21(26)に当接して座金として機能するので、ねじ止めを確実に行うことができる。   The mid bridge 72 is formed of a single sheet metal, and is provided with a hole 75 in the sheet metal as a fixing part, and a part of the end part 74 is bent downward, and the other part of the end part is used as the insertion part 76. The insertion part 76 can be formed easily. Moreover, since the edge part (buffer part 77) bent downward is contact | abutted to the front side cover 21 (26) and functions as a washer, screwing can be performed reliably.
