Abstract

It is an object to achieve prevention of lowering resonant frequency and improved production efficiency while achieving reduction in weight of a supporting part with a boss portion and reduction in thickness at area at which the boss portion is located. In the present invention, the supporting part includes a first supporting member with which a load bending part is connected, and a second supporting member with the boss portion and a main body region extended radially outward from the boss portion. At least one of the inner periphery of the mount hole and the outer periphery of the main body region is integrally provided with a rib region. The first and second supporting members are connected to each other by a restoring force of the rib region that has been elastically and/or plastically deformed by the other one of the inner periphery of the mount hole and the outer periphery of the main body region with the main body region being located at least partially in the mount hole in a through-thickness direction.
