Here, the first elastic member 140 is positioned in a tensioned state than the original length of the spring, and the upper rotating body and the lower rotating body are pulled to each other by the tensile force, so that the upper rotating body can be rotated through the tensile force. . It is also possible to position the first elastic member in a compressed state than the original length to rotate the upper rotating body by the compressed spring force.

On the other hand, since the upper rotor should be rotated while supporting the lower rotor by the pressing force of the second elastic member, when the spring force of the second elastic member is strong, the upper rotor by the first elastic member When the spring force of the second elastic member is stronger than the first elastic member, the rotation of the second elastic member is less than the first elastic member, and thus the binding force between the upper rotating body and the lower rotating body is weakened. It is preferable that the member and the second elastic member each have the same elastic force or slightly different from each other so that the upper rotating plate can be rotated while maintaining the elastic force with each other.

Hereinafter, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

9, the configuration of the second embodiment of the fixing member, the lower rotating body, the upper rotating body, and the first elastic member described in the first embodiment is the same, and has the following coupling relationship.

Next, the upper rotating body 230 is positioned above the first elastic member while the pair of first elastic members 240 are positioned above the lower rotating body 220. In this state, the groove 241 formed at the end of the first elastic member 240 is inserted into and fixed to the fixing piece 225 side, and then the fixing piece of the upper rotating body 230 using the other groove 241. The protrusion tube of the lower rotating body 220 in a state of being inserted into and fixed to the 235 so that one side of both ends of the first elastic member is fixed to the upper rotating body and the other side is fixed to the lower rotating body so as to be supported with each other. The protrusion tube 232 of the upper rotary body 230 is inserted into the side 222. At this time, the first elastic member is positioned between each of the protruding tubes 222 and 232, and the locking protrusions 233 formed on the plate bodies 231 are inserted into and fixed to the locking grooves 223 formed on the protruding tubes 222. To be able. Here, the guide member 260 is further provided to guide the first elastic member 140 and prevent interference with each other, and the guide member 260 is a vertical piece 261 having an arc shape and the vertical piece ( 261) a horizontal piece 262 protruding in a horizontal direction from an outer circumferential surface to allow the first elastic member to be separated from each other up and down by the horizontal piece 262, and protruding pipe 232 through the vertical piece. ) And the first elastic member are prevented from interfering with each other. In addition, the guide member is preferably made of a material having excellent surface slip in order to minimize interference and reduce friction.

Next, in the state in which the upper rotating body 230 is inserted, the fixing member 210 has a shape in which the protruding tube 212 is inserted into the protruding tube 232 side of the upper rotating body 230.
