In the eaves cover 9, which is an elongated member extending across substantially the entire width of the case body, the protrusion 95 functions as a reinforcing element (for example, by restricting twisting deformation).

[0046] 13, the upper edge 90 of the eaves cover 9 covers the front protruding edge 12B of the top case plate 1, the front edge 91 covers the second visible edge 12C, the bent piece 92 covers the lower end of the second visible edge 12C, the upper front edge 93 covers the first visible edge 12A, and the upper inclined edge 94 covers the front end portion of the second top surface portion 10B of the top surface portion 10. The upper front edge 93 of the eaves cover 9 is located in front of the visible edge 51 of the second horizontal member 5, and the eaves cover 9 is fastened together with the top case plate 1 by screws S2 that secure the first visible edge 12A of the top case plate 1 to the upper portion of the visible edge 51 of the second horizontal member 5.

[0047] In this embodiment, case edge covers 7 are attached to both widthwise ends of the case plate, and eaves cover 9 is fastened together with the upper front edge 93 of top case plate 1 and first case edge cover 7A to the second horizontal member 5 by screws S2 at both longitudinal ends. As shown in FIG. 13 , second portion 711 of back surface 71 of first case edge cover 7A extends to overlap (abut) the upper portion of visible edge 51 of second horizontal member 5, so that the upper front edge 93 of eaves cover 9, first visible edge 12A of top case plate 1, and back surface 71 of first case edge cover 7A overlap and are fastened together to the visible edge 51 of second horizontal member 5 by screws S2. Because eaves cover 9 is attached using screws S2, it can be retrofitted to an existing shutter case using existing screws S2 and is easy to replace in the event of deterioration or damage over time. As shown in Fig. 13, the second portion 711 of the back surface portion 71 on the upper end side of the second case edge cover 7B extends so as to overlap (abut) the lower portion of the visible edge 51 of the second cross member 5. Fig. 9 and the description related to Fig. 9 can be used to explain the second embodiment. The description of the first embodiment can be used to explain the mounting structure of the back surface portion 71 on the lower end side of the second case edge cover 7B.
