A turning mechanism is provided at a base end portion of the first arm member and a turning mechanism is provided at a working end portion of the second arm member. An upper end portion of the first arm member and a lower end portion of the second armmember forma connection section, and an intermediate turning mechanism is provided inside the connection section.
