The case body 11 reciprocates in the vertical direction.

  The first rack gear 91 is formed in a substantially bar shape. A meshing portion 92 that meshes with the small gear 99 is formed on the facing surface of the first rack gear 91 that faces the second rack gear 93.

  That is, the first rack gear 91 reciprocates in the vertical direction in conjunction with the expansion / contraction operation of the pantograph mechanism 40, thereby transmitting the power received from the pantograph mechanism 40 to the small gear 99.

  The small gear 99 is disposed between the first rack gear 91 and the second rack gear 93 as described above. The small gear 99 is arranged to mesh with the meshing portion 92 of the first rack gear 91 and the meshing portion 94 of the second rack gear 93.
