A rod portion is coupled within the shaft tube to rotate around a first axis line and is coupled to the daily commodity to rotate around a second axis line which is parallel to the first axis line. An eccentric position of the first axis line is set so that the daily commodity is immersed into the shaft tube via the rod portion when the operating portion is rotated to the first rotation position, and the daily commodity protrudes out of a leading end port of the shaft tube via the rod portion when the operating portion is rotated to the second rotation position. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A commodity ejecting and retracting device comprising: a shaft tube; a commodity which is accommodated in the shaft tube; and an ejecting and retracting mechanism which ejects and retracts the commodity in relation to a leading end port of the shaft tube, wherein the ejecting and retracting mechanism includes: an operating portion which is provided so as to be rotatable around a center line vertical to an axis line of the shaft tube in relation to the shaft tube between a first rotation position and a second rotation position; and a rod portion which is coupled in one end portion thereof to the operating portion so as to be rotatable around a first axis line which is eccentric from the center line, and is coupled in the other end portion thereof to the commodity via a connection member so as to be rotatable around a second axis line which is parallel to the first axis line, and wherein an eccentric position of the first axis line in relation to the center line is set in such a manner that the commodity comes to an immersed state where the commodity is immersed into the shaft tube via the rod portion when the operating portion is rotated in one direction to the first rotation position, and the commodity comes to a protruding state where the commodity protrudes out of the leading end port of the shaft tube via the rod portion when the operating portion is rotated in the other direction to the second rotation position, the rod portion has a first rod portion which is coupled to the operating portion so as to be rotatable around the first axis line, and a second rod portion which is coupled to the connection member so as to be rotatable around the second axis line, and the first rod portion is arranged offset to one side in the direction of the center line in relation to the second rod portion. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The commodity ejecting and retracting device according to claim 1, wherein the operating portion is formed into a circular shape, and an outer peripheral surface of the operating portion is exposed at least over a rotation angle range from the first rotation position to the second rotation position, in a rear end portion of the shaft tube. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The commodity ejecting and retracting device according to claim 1, wherein the rod portion serves as a control member which comes into contact with the operating portion at the first rotation position so as to control the rotation of the operating portion in the one direction, and comes into contact with the operating portion at the second rotation position so as to control the rotation of the operating portion in the other direction. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The commodity ejecting and retracting device according to claim 3, wherein the ejecting and retracting mechanism further includes a biasing portion which biases the rod portion to a rear end portion side of the shaft tube, and the first axis line is positioned closer to the other direction side than an imaginary straight line connecting the second axis line and the center line, at the second rotation position. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The commodity ejecting and retracting device according to claim 1, wherein the first rod portion is coupled to the operating portion so as to be rotatable via a pin passing through in the direction of the first axis line, and both end portions of the pin in an axial direction are supported to the operating portion. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The commodity ejecting and retracting device according to claim 1, wherein the operating portion is supported to the shaft tube so as to be rotatable via a rolling bearing. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The commodity ejecting and retracting device according to claim 1 further comprising a clip which is movable in relation to the shaft tube in the direction of the center line between a retracted position where at least a partial outer surface is flush with an outer peripheral surface of the shaft tube, and a protruding position where the outer surface protrudes out of the outer peripheral surface of the shaft tube. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The commodity ejecting and retracting device according to claim 7, further comprising an elastic member which is provided within the shaft tube, and biases the clip to the protruding position side. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The commodity ejecting and retracting device according to claim 8, wherein the elastic member is arranged in the other side in the direction of the center line at a position corresponding to the first rod portion. ### Claim 10 (depends on 7) The commodity ejecting and retracting device according to claim 7, further comprising a locking mechanism which locks the clip at the retracted position.
