An upper head part 70 is mounted on the upper surface of the upper plate 60 and a lower head part 72 is mounted on the lower surface. The front plate 43 and the rear plate 50 are linked together and open substantially simultaneously. A pinion 66 is provided on the upper plate 60. A rack 54 which meshes with the pinion 66 is provided on the rear plate 50. When the rear plate 50 opens, the pinion 66 rotates and inverts the upper plate 60.
