ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM, IMAGE-FORMING APPARATUS PROVIDED WITH ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM, AND ADJUSTMENT METHOD USING SAID ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM

摘要

The present invention is an adjustment mechanism (130) that adjusts the position of an object (110) mounted on a mounting base (120). The adjustment mechanism (130) is provided with a first cam (131) and a second cam (132). The first cam (131) is mounted on a shaft (123) provided on the mounting base (120). The second cam (132) accommodates the first cam (131) therein and supports the object (110). As a result of turning using the shaft (123) as the axis of rotation, the first cam (131) changes the position of the object (110) via the second cam (132). The second cam (132) changes the position of the object (110) as a result of turning using the first cam (131) as the axis of rotation. The amount of positional change of the object (110) due to the turning of the first cam (131) and the amount of positional change of the object (110) due to the turning of the second cam (132) differ.
