を伝えて連結軸２を変形させる。In this example, since the distance between the knob 4 and the connecting shaft 2 is short, the hinge 5 becomes short and it is difficult to deform the hinge 5. Therefore, the knob 4 is displaced by deforming the connecting shaft 2. FIG. 4A shows a case where the knob 4 is in a natural state, and FIG. 4B shows a state where the knob 4 is displaced downward. In this example, knob 4
When the hinge 5 is displaced downward, the hinge 5 is not deformed.
As shown by an arrow in (b), a stress is transmitted from the knob 4 to the connecting shaft 2 to deform the connecting shaft 2.
