An eccentric shaft is provided and has a shaft portion journalling the external gear and an eccentric portion journalling the internal gear so that the gears are engaged with each other at a circumferential position. The eccentric shaft is journalled through a bearing on the lower bracket, and a manually operable knob shaft is rotatably carried by the lower bracket. A rotation transmitting mechanism is provided between the knob shaft and the eccentric shaft for transmitting rotation of the knob shaft to the eccentric shaft. A rotation restricting device is provided between the knob shaft and the lower bracket for restricting the knob shaft against rotation under a force applied from the eccentric shaft but permitting a rotation of the knob shaft under a manual actuating force directly applied thereto.
