The first protrusion 36i of the first flange member 33 is fitted in the first elongated hole 38c of the long member 38 so as to be slidable. In the second elongated hole 38d of the long member 38, the second convex portion 36j of the second flange member 34 is fitted so as to be slidable. The first and second flange members 33, 34 are slidably supported by two guide portions 21g arranged in parallel in the left-right direction. For this reason, the first and second flange members 33 and 34 can move only in the direction in which the two guide portions 21g are arranged, that is, in the left-right direction (advancing and retracting direction). Due to the rotation of the long member 38, the first and second flange members 33 and 34 move in synchronization with the rotation support body 32. At this time, the first and second flange members 33 and 34 can be displaced only in the left-right direction and cannot swing in the up-down direction. Therefore, by the rotation of the long member 38, the first and second convex portions 36i, 36j slide in the first and second long holes 38c, 38d of the long member 38 from the radially outer side to the inner side.
