Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2161364A2] Lid cover (9) includes first engaging tabs (9a) formed on its rear face and protruding rearward along the outer circumference. Lid unit (8) includes first tab holes (8b) with which the tabs (9a) are engaged by using first stopper (8a) provided on an inner face of lid unit (8), thereby fixing lid cover (9) to lid unit (8). Lid cover (9) includes surface in-parts on its surface and in a range corresponding to at least first tab holes (8b). The light coming from the inside of the lid cover disperses and transmits through the surface in-parts. This structure allows extending a transparent area as far as the outer rim, where the lid cover is engaged with the lid unit, of the lid cover, and yet, the engaging section is not seen from the outside, so that a quality look and a fine appearance of the lid can be improved.
