Loosening or tightening said handle knobs facilitates the selection of a predetermined horizontal position of the inner hoop holding brackets in the mounting section. The inner hoop holding sections are connected to sliding units of lateral supports via knurled screws. Loosening said knurled screws allows the movement of the inner hoop holding section vertically along the mounting section, while tightening said knurled screws, allows the inner holding section to be confined in a predetermined and selected position.
