         2 . The endoscope according to  claim 1 , wherein the first protrusion is formed integrally with and protruded from the first plate member, and the second protrusion is formed integrally with and protruded from the second plate member. 
     
     
         3 . The endoscope according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the first positioning part includes a first pressing part protruding from the first plate member to position the first rotary member with respect to the first plate member and coming into contact with the first shaft part of the first rotary member, and   the second positioning part includes a second pressing part protruding from the second plate member to position the second rotary member with respect to the second plate member and coming into contact with the second shaft part of the second rotary member.   
     
     
         4 . An endoscope comprising:
 a bendable bending portion provided in an insertion section that is inserted into a subject;   a traction member pulled to bend the bending portion;   a rotary member that includes an engaging part that engages with the traction member and a shaft part that fixes the engaging part, the rotary member causing the traction member to engage with the engaging part to wind the traction member and rotating to pull the traction member;   a member on which the rotary member and the traction member are disposed, the member being formed in a plate shape;   a protrusion protruding from the member to position the rotary member and the traction member with respect to the member; and   a cutout part provided on the protrusion of the member and having a width set to cause a tip of thumb and a tip of fingers of an assembling worker of the endoscope, the thumb and the finger holding the rotary member and the traction member, to be located inside a predetermined installation space so that the assembling worker of the endoscope can perform positioning of the rotary member and the traction member with respect to the member in the predetermined installation space inside the protrusion while holding the rotary member and the traction member with the thumb and the finger.   
     
     
         5 . The endoscope according to  claim 4 , further comprising a positioning part that protrudes from the member to position the rotary member and comes into contact with the shaft part of the rotary member. 
     
     
         6 . The endoscope according to  claim 5 , wherein
 the member further includes a first plate member on which the rotary member and the traction member are disposed, and a second plate member on which another rotary member and another traction member are disposed, the first plate member being formed in a plate shape, the second plate member being formed in a plate shape and being provided to face the first plate,   the first plate member includes the cutout part, and   the second plate member includes a complementary part that is disposed inside the cutout part.   
     
     
         7 . The endoscope according to  claim 5 , wherein the cutout part provided in pair, the cutout parts being provided on the protrusion to face each other with a center axis of the rotary member in between. 
     
     
         8 . The endoscope according to  claim 5 , wherein the cutout part is provided on an apex of an annular wall that constitutes the protrusion. 
     
     
         9 . The endoscope according to  claim 5 , wherein the cutout part is a concave part that is formed from a top surface of the protrusion toward the member and has a predetermined width. 
     
     
         10 . An endoscope comprising:
 a bendable bending portion provided in an insertion section that is inserted into a subject;   a traction member pulled to bend the bending portion;   a pair of rotary members each including an engaging part that engages with the traction member and a shaft part that fixes the engaging part, the pair of rotary members each causing the traction member to engage with the engaging part to wind the traction member and rotating to pull the traction member;   a member on which the pair of rotary members and the traction member are disposed, the member being formed in a plate shape;   a protrusion protruding from the member to position each of the pair of rotary members and the traction member with respect to the member; and   a pair of positioning parts each protruding from the member to position the pair of rotary members, and coming into contact with the shaft part of each of the pair of rotary members.
