This is for the user to rotate one of the first body 581 and the second body 585 when the other body is rotated.

To this end, the hanger bar 51 is provided at both ends thereof with a gear receiving groove 515 in which the first gear 583 and the second gear 587 are respectively received.

In this case, the first gear 583 is rotatably fixed in the gear accommodating groove 515 by a first rotary shaft 584 provided in the gear accommodating groove 515, and the second gear 587 And is rotatably fixed in the gear accommodating groove 515 by a second rotation shaft 588 provided in the gear accommodating groove 515. [

The second gear 587 is coupled to the first gear 583 in the gear accommodating groove 515 so that when the first gear 583 rotates, And is rotated in a direction opposite to the rotating direction of the rotating shaft 583.

The upper surface of the first hanger bar 51 having the above-described structure may further be provided with a slot supporting bar 513 for supporting the slot 557. Therefore, the first hanger bar 51 and the second hanger bar 58 will reciprocate within the accommodation space 51 when the slot inserting unit 555 inserted in the slot 557 rotates. The principle in which the first hanger bar 51 moves within the accommodation space 31 has been described above, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

11 and 12 show only one example in which the slot 557 is separated from the upper surface of the first hanger bar 51 by a predetermined distance by the slot supporting bar 513, 2, it may be fixed to the upper surface of the first hanger bar 51.

The present invention may be embodied in various forms without departing from the scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
