Make it easy to separate from 8. End 1 to pin 136'
When the spring force of 30 is released, the end 130 rotates about the pin 146, and the connection between the end 130 and the pin i36 is completely released. In use, the user can access pan 114 with any appliance having a coupling means, such as means 48, for use. A battery bag 82 for supplying power to these appliances can also be accessed at the same time. At this time, each conductor is used for a different purpose. For example, the table below shows typical uses of multiple conductors 16. Conductor No. Purpose of use 1 Power source type 2 Right speaker type 3 Right speaker single pole 4 Spare 5 To M-FM antenna 6 Spare 7 Spare 8 Left speaker type 9 Left speaker one Pole 10 When one of the single-pole conductors of the power source is used as an antenna, extremely good radio reception can be obtained by wrapping the band around the user's waist as a heald. Furthermore, the Pan IS can be attached to a surface such as a wall and used by extending it in a desired area along the wall of a building. Thus, it will be appreciated that the support mechanism of the present invention may be utilized to support and operate any number of appliances.
