The inclined portion of the auxiliary sounder 42 may partially adjust the vamp of the lid 20 so that the vibration of the lid 20 is even.

On the other hand, the rotating shaft 41 is not directly coupled to the auxiliary sounder 42, but is coupled through the coupling plate 43. The coupling plate 43 is connected to the rotary shaft 41 and attached to the auxiliary sounder 42. The coupling plate 43 is preferably coupled to the auxiliary sounder body 42a. Because the inclined portion 42b is in close contact with the surface of the vamp of the lid 20 to fix the lid 20, the amplification of the volume is increased, improve the straightness of the sound, can easily make a sound, rich and beautiful sound Because it implements The coupling plate 43 is made of silver or copper alloy, and the surface is plated with gold, platinum and copper.

The guide block 51 is inserted into the guide part 50. In the guide part 50, the surface facing the auxiliary sounder 42 constitutes a guide rail 52 spaced by a predetermined distance. The guide rail 52 is part of the guide part 50, and the guide block 51 can move smoothly due to the guide rail 52. The guide block 51 is formed with a through hole 56 into which the rotation shaft 41 is inserted, and a rectangular parallelepiped shape is preferable for stable movement. The guide hole 53 is formed in the upper surface of the guide part 50 so that the rotating shaft 41 may move. The rotating shaft 41 may reciprocate along the guide hole 53. By holding the lever 40 and moving along the guide hole 53, the user can accurately position the auxiliary sounder 42 with respect to the lid 20.

On the other hand, the coupling plate 43 may have a fixing pin 54 to prevent the auxiliary sounder 42 from rotating. The fixing pin 54 penetrates the through hole 57 of the guide block 51 and is inserted into the fixing hole 55 formed at one side of the guide hole 53 on the upper surface of the guide part 50. Without the fixing pin 54, the auxiliary sounder 42 may move left and right when rotating the lever 40 or moving the auxiliary sounder 42. When the auxiliary sounder 42 is shaken from side to side, it is difficult for the user to accurately seat the auxiliary sounder 42 on the lid 20. If the fixing pin 54 is provided, the auxiliary sounder 42 can be prevented from shaking left and right.

As mentioned above, although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
