High surface pressure is applied to the sliding surfaces of the members 1 and 2, so that local solid contact occurs on sliding interfaces, and microscopic wear occurs on the sliding surfaces. The carbon-based molecules 12, which have rollable hollow structures, are included as separate molecules or aggregates of molecules in the lubricating film 11 of the sliding member 1. The carbon-based molecules 12 are exposed from the lubricating film 11 by the above microscopic wear, and a portion of the carbon-based molecules 12 is separated from the lubricating film 11, and is supplied to the sliding surfaces. Since the carbon-based molecules 12 have rollable hollow structures, the separated carbon-based molecules 12 function as ball bearings on the molecular level on the sliding interfaces. In this case, when at least one separated carbon-based molecule 12 exist between the sliding interfaces, local friction can be reduced in comparison with a case in which separated carbon-based molecule 12 does not exist. As a result, friction can be greatly reduced on the sliding surfaces, mass production can be realized, and production cost can be reduced.

Disclosed is a lid-fastening structure for fastening a lid (66) using a bolt (96). In the lid-fastening structure (13), the bolt (96) is rotatably held in the lid (66) for closing an adjustment opening (73). An insertion hole (101) for inserting the bolt (96) is formed in the lid (66). A portion of the circumferential edge of the insertion hole (101) is cut out in a way that allows the bolt (96) to slide, and a backslide-limiting opening (104) for limiting the return of the bolt (96) to the insertion hole (101) is formed so as to be continuous with the circumferential edge. A supporting/fastening hole (108) is formed continuous with the backslide-limiting opening (104) to a smaller radius than is the insertion hole, the supporting/fastening hole being cut out so as to allow the bolt (96) to advance.
