Abstract
Two separate lids are openably provided at two power receiving portions, respectively. A lid fixing unit is provided for sliding movement in a direction of the juxtaposition of the two power receiving portions. The lid fixing unit overlaps both of the two lids to prevent the two lids from being opened when the lid fixing unit is disposed in an intermediate position between the two power receiving portions. The lid fixing unit is movable away from one of the two lids to face the other lid, thereby allowing the opening of the one lid, and the lid fixing unit is movable away from the other lid to face the one lid, thereby allowing the opening of the other lid.
