When the rotating body (60) rotates, the rotating body (60) can be arranged to be inclined with respect to the vertical plane and the horizontal plane. The rotating body (60) can be inclined at an angle closer to the vertical plane than to the horizontal plane.

[0162] The upper pin (62) can be guided to the upper straight area (14a) by entering the upper straight area (14b) after reaching the tip of the upper rotation area (14a), and the lower pin (64) can be guided to the lower rotation area (15b) by entering the lower straight area (15b) after reaching the tip of the lower rotation area (15b), and the rotating body (60) can be moved forward in a tilted state.

[0163] When the moving body (40) is retracted, the upper pin (62) located in the upper straight region (14b) can be guided backward along the upper straight region (14b), and can enter the upper rotation region (14a) from the rear end of the upper straight region (14b) and be guided to the upper rotation region (14a). In addition, the lower pin (64) located in the lower straight region (15b) can be guided backward along the lower straight region (15b), and can enter the lower rotation region (15a) from the rear end of the lower straight region (15b) and be guided to the lower rotation region (15a).

[0164] The rotating body (60) can be rotated counterclockwise around the rotation axis (61) while the upper pin (62) is guided to the upper rotation area (14a) and the lower pin (64) is guided to the lower rotation area (15a). The rotating body (60) can be arranged horizontally.
