A reinforcing plate that is formed in a shape and that contacts the concave surface and the convex surface of the lower surface of the uneven top plate, and that sandwiches the lower surface of the reinforcing plate and the upper surface of the top plate in this contact state. And a front panel is locked and held from above by the panel mounting bracket. By forming the bottom surface of the top plate in a continuous concavo-convex shape, it is possible to improve the shape retention strength of the top plate compared to a flat plate, but a reinforcing plate is provided across the concave and convex surfaces of the bottom surface of the top plate. By providing it, the shape retention strength of the top plate in that portion can be further improved. Then, the panel mounting bracket can be mounted by sandwiching the sandwiching portion of the panel mounting bracket between the lower surface of the reinforcing plate and the upper surface of the top plate. After that, the front panel is locked and held by the panel mounting bracket from above, and the mounting of the front panel is completed. When removing the front panel, the front panel is unlocked from the panel mounting bracket.

Since the cushion member is provided on the contact surface of the sandwiching portion which contacts the upper surface of the top plate, it is possible to prevent the upper surface of the top plate from being scratched by attaching the panel mounting metal fitting.

The sandwiching portion of the panel mounting bracket is provided with a pair of upper and lower horizontal plate portions, and the upper horizontal plate portion of the horizontal plate portions is in contact with the top surface of the top plate.
