The opposite ends of the two force-bearing arms 42 are connected to the transmission push arm 43 through the pin A.
[0020] See also Figure 3 The top of the push arm 43 is connected to the bottom of the top plate 3, and the ends of the two force-bearing arms 42 that are separated from each other are connected to a transmission short arm 44 through a pin shaft B.
