The moving means 10 includes a base (slide guide) 11 fixed to the casing 4 as shown in FIG.
And a movable base (slider) 12 that moves using the base 11 as a guide. The lower part of the monitor 6 is fixed to the movable base 12 as described later. The base 11 is formed in a long rectangular dish shape, and the short side portion 11a on the far side and the long side portions 11b and 11c on the left and right sides are raised at the side portions, and the upper end portion is further bent inward. The movable table 12 described later is movably stored. The movable base 12 includes a thin box-shaped base 13 having an open upper surface, and the base 1.
Monitor fixing members 15 and 16 which are attached to the three openings 14 and which can be divided back and forth.

Semi-circular cutouts 17 and 18 are formed at the butted end faces of the front half monitor fixing member 15 and the rear half monitor fixing member 16 facing each other. Then, the monitor fixing member 16 of the rear half is fixed to the front half of the upper surface of the base 13, and the monitor fixing member 16 of the rear half is fixed to the end of the monitor fixing member 15 of the front half. When fixed to the rear half of the upper surface with a fixing tool 21 such as a bolt 19 and a nut 20, the notches 17 and 18 form a substantially circular monitor fixing hole 22.
