- the engaging toothed portion is provided with a third circular arc;
- the third circular arc has a third axis;
- a second vertical line passes through the third axis;
- the engaging toothed portion is arranged at a side of the second vertical line;
- the curved surface forms a fourth circular arc;
- the fourth circular arc has a fourth axis;
- the fourth axis and the second vertical line coincide at one point;
- a second distance is defined between the third axis and the fourth axis;
- the third circular arc and the first circular arc have the same diameter;
- the third axis and the first axis coincide mutually;
- the second vertical line and the first vertical line coincide;
- the fourth circular arc and the second circular arc have the same diameter;
- the fourth axis and the second axis coincide mutually;
- the third circular arc has a radius equal to the first radius;
- the fourth circular arc has a radius equal to the second radius;
- the engaging toothed portion matches the first receiving recess, and the curved surface matches the second receiving recess;
- the arcuate abutting face is provided with a fifth circular arc;
- the fifth circular arc has a fifth axis;
- the fifth axis is located outside of a circle of the fourth circular arc;
- the fifth axis and the second vertical line coincide at one point;
- the third axis, the fourth axis, and the fifth axis coincide with the second vertical line at one point;
- the fifth circular arc has a third radius;
- a third distance is defined between the fifth axis and the third axis;
- the extension face has a radius more than that of the third circular arc;
- the third axis is an axis of the extension face;
- a fourth distance is defined between a radius of the extension face and that of the third circular arc;
- the fourth distance is less than a half of a tooth height of the engaging toothed portion;
- each of the first radius, the second radius, and the first distance has an integer value;
- the third radius preferably has an integer value;
- the third radius is more than the first radius;
- the first radius is more than the second radius;

- the second radius is 1.4 to 1.5 times of the first distance or the second radius is 1.4 to 1.45 times of the first distance;
- the elastic member is received in the second receiving recess and has a first end and a second end;
- the first end has a diameter more than that of the second end;
- the elastic member has a conic shape by a diameter differential of the first end and the second end;
- the diameter of the first end is equal to a height of the second receiving recess, to prevent the elastic member from being moved upward and downward in the second receiving recess;
- the first end presses the wall of the second receiving recess;
- the second end presses the arcuate abutting face;
- the curved surface presses the wall of the second receiving recess;
- a space between the second receiving recess and the arcuate abutting face has a maximum value by a position relation between the fifth circular arc and the second circular arc, an axis relation between the fifth axis and the second axis, and a radius relation between the third radius and the second radius;
- the elastic member is disposed at a middle of the second receiving recess;
- the first vertical line passes through the elastic member;
- the snap ring is C-shaped;
- and
- the snap ring is received in the first annular groove and the second annular groove, so that the ratchet wheel is retained in the first receiving recess.
