[0052] The upper absorbing member (364) is formed on the upper elastic member (363) and can be formed in a donut shape to absorb shock applied from the upper elastic member (363). It can be implemented as a structure that absorbs shock twice through the upper absorbing member (364), and at the same time, it can prevent the circular protrusion (362-1) from directly contacting the inner upper surface of the housing member (361).

[0053] The lower elastic member (365) is formed at the bottom of the central member (362) and can absorb the impact applied when the body module (330) descends. That is, when a user applies force in a downward direction to reduce or lower the body module (330), the lower elastic member (365) can absorb the force and disperse the force received by the fixed module (340), thereby allowing it to be fixedly coupled inside the main body part (100) more stably.

[0054] The lower absorbing member (366) is formed at the bottom of the lower elastic member (365) and can absorb shock applied from the lower elastic member (365). It can be implemented as a structure that absorbs shock twice through the lower absorbing member (366), and at the same time, it can prevent the central member (362) from directly contacting the inner lower surface of the housing member (361).

[0055] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to preferred embodiments, this is merely illustrative and does not limit the invention. A person skilled in the art may modify and change the embodiments in various ways by adding, changing, deleting, or adding components without departing from the technical spirit of the invention as described in the claims, and such modifications and changes are also to be considered to be included within the scope of the rights of the present invention.
