A coating film capable of restricting an electric current from flowing from the rotation shaft member to each of the slide bushes is formed in a portion of an outer circumferential surface of the rotation shaft member, which portion includes a part of a contact portion thereof that slidably contacts each of the slide bushes in a rotational axis direction and at least a proximity range thereof that is positioned in proximity to an exposed end periphery of each of the slide bushes.
