• the base block has a long hole that extends along a vertical direction,
• a protrusion part that is slidably inserted in the long hole is provided on the movable block,
• a resistance-applying part that comes into contact with the protrusion part and that applies a resistance to the protrusion part is provided in at least a higher region of the long hole than a required elevation position of the hood,
• a load reception member that receives an operation load of the actuator is fastened and fixed to the movable block by a bolt, and
• the protrusion part is constituted of a shaft part of the bolt.
