Upper and lower eccentric cams are provided on the rotating shaft to be eccentric from the rotating shaft in a same direction. Upper and lower eccentric bushes are fitted over the upper and lower eccentric cams, respectively, in such a way that a maximum eccentric part of the upper eccentric bush is opposite to that of the lower eccentric bush, with a slot provided between the upper and lower eccentric bushes.
