The joint mechanism includes a first engaging portion, a second engaging portion which is engageable with the first engaging portion, a coupling, a first distal end portion, and a second distal end portion. The coupling has the second engaging portion, and is swingable in a direction intersecting with the axial direction in a state where the second engaging portion is engaged with the first engaging portion. The first distal end portion is a distal end portion of the driven shaft, and the first engaging portion or the coupling is mounted on the first distal end portion. The second distal end portion is a distal end portion of the drive shaft, and the coupling or the first engaging portion is mounted on the second distal end portion.
