In such a configuration, it becomes easy to take the living body P into and out of the alternating magnetic field. The weight of the alternating magnetic field generating section is further reduced. There are advantages to having a hat. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a rotating shaft 32 is formed extending from the center of the support member 10A, and this rotating shaft 32 is rotatably supported by an oval-shaped pedestal 34.
