Abstract
A closure is inserted into a casing for closing one end of the casing. A projecting portion projecting from an inner peripheral surface of the casing is formed at a position slightly away from the one end of the casing. The projecting portion is formed as a projecting rib around a periphery of the casing. After the closure is inserted into the casing, the closure engages the projecting portion. An edge of the casing is bent toward the inside of the casing, so that the closure is sandwiched and fixed by the projecting portion and the edge. The closure may be subjected to a coining process to closely fix the closure to the casing.
