A rotary shaft is formed with an external screw thread; a movable nut is
engaged with the rotary shaft, and arranged to move axially in accordance
with rotation of the rotary shaft; and a link member is swingably
connected with the movable nut to transmit motion from the movable nut.
The link member includes first and second side portions and a connecting
portion connecting the first and second side portions and forming a
