A compression spring S is built in the adjuster device 4, and when the compression spring S is stretched between the floor and the ceiling, the compression spring S is in a contracted state.
Even if the adjuster bolt 42 is loosened and the position of the handle fixing member 44 is slightly lowered, the pressing plate 49 continues to press the ceiling due to the force of the compression spring S trying to restore. Therefore, the pressing force on the ceiling by the pressing plate 49 is not weakened, and even in the case described above, it is possible to firmly stretch between the floor surface and the ceiling.

The pressing plate 49 can change its direction in the free direction by the deformation of the compression spring S.
For example, even if the ceiling has a slight gradient, the pressing plate 49
Can press the ceiling along the slope.
