A spacing between at least one side edge of the equipment body and a catching edge 10i of the salient which is held with fingers is made to be almost same with a spacing between the thenar eminence p of a human hand and the fingertips, which are crooked lightly, of fingers f2, f3, f4, f5 other than a thumb f1.
