Original Abstract Submitted

It has at least one fixing plate arranged on the seat back and at least one support member arranged on the fixing plate, and the support member can be arranged at an arbitrary angle at an arbitrary position on the front surface of the fixing plate. Therefore, the position of the support member can be adjusted not only in the vertical direction but also in the horizontal direction with respect to the seat back, but also in the angle. Therefore, it is possible to increase the degree of freedom in the position and the angle of the support member as compared with the related art.
