The first swing member 30 and the second swing member 40 are provided so as to be rotatable while being positioned between them.

In addition, the second swing member 40 provided on both sides of the first swing member 30 is provided to allow rotation and linear reciprocating movement, and both ends of the second swing member 40 have elastic members 50. ) Is equipped.

The coupling hole 11 is formed in the center of the upper cover member 10, the slide hole 12 is formed on both sides of the coupling hole 11, the coupling formed in the center of the lower cover member 20 Receiving grooves 22 for forming the elastic member 50 is formed on both sides of the ball 21, the elastic member 50 is a structure that is provided with a support piece 51, respectively.

In addition, a coupling hole 31 is formed in the center of the first swing member 30, and a coupling member 32 protruding around the coupling hole 31 to function as a central axis is formed.

In addition, one or more protrusions 33 are formed in the circumferential direction of the first swing member 30, and the second swing member 40 is positioned between the protrusions 33 so that the first swing member 30 is positioned. The rotation and linear movement of the second swing member 40 is possible in accordance with the rotation.

The protruding portion 33 preferably takes the form of a circular shape between the protruding portion 33 and the protruding portion 33.

In addition, the support protrusions 41 and 42 are formed on the upper and lower portions of each of the second swing members 40, respectively, and the support protrusions 41 formed on the upper side of the slide holes are formed on the upper cover member 10. 12) serves as a guide, the support protrusion 42 formed in the lower portion is a structure to support the support piece 51 of the elastic member (50).
