The main member has a movable portion, a fixed portion and a first parallel guiding member for connecting the fixed portion and the movable portion. The load transmitting member has a first mounting portion for mounting the load receiving member, a second mounting portion for mounting the movable portion and a parallel guiding member for connecting the first mounting portion to the second mounting portion.
