Connection mechanism and image forming apparatus

摘要

A connection mechanism includes a protrusion, a plate section, and a movable section. The protrusion has a distal end, which has a spherical surface and a tapered surface, and a support that supports the distal end. The plate section is provided with a hole for positioning the protrusion when the support is inserted thereto. The movable section faces a side of the hole where the tapered surface of the distal end exists, and moves along the plate section by being pressed by the tapered surface of the distal end as the distal end is inserted through the hole.

1. A connection mechanism comprising:
a first protrusion and a second protrusion, each protrusion having a distal end, the distal end having a spherical surface and a tapered surface, and each protrusion having a support that supports the distal end; a plate section that is provided with a first hole and a second hole for positioning the first protrusion and the second protrusion, respectively, when the support of each of the first protrusion and the second protrusion is respectively inserted thereto, one of the first hole or the second hole being an elongated hole; and a movable section that faces a side of the first hole and the second hole, respectively, the side being where the tapered surface of the distal end exists, and the movable section moving along the plate section by being pressed by the tapered surface of the distal end of the first protrusion and the second protrusion, respectively, as the distal end of the first protrusion and the second protrusion is respectfully inserted through the first hole and the second hole.
