outer periphery, in such a manner that an outer periphery of the
deflection valve and an inner periphery of the check valve are at least
partially overlapped. A first spring supporting the deflection valve in a
back surface and a second spring supporting the check valve in a back
surface are provided. A small gap is provided in the overlapping portion
between the deflection valve and the check valve.
