than those of the parts other than the concave portion, an inclined
surface 44 divergent frontward from the location of the front-end lens
surface 34 is provided on the inside surface of at least one of the
concave portions 40, and the angle .beta. between the inside inclined
surface 44b of the concave portion 40 and the front-end lens surface 34
is larger than the angle .alpha. between the inside surfaces of the other
