Abstract
A unit locating mechanism includes a first unit, a second unit and a locating member. The locating member includes a cylindrical portion, a hook portion and a portion to be restricted. The second unit includes a unit-side portion, a support shaft and a restriction portion. The restriction portion overlaps, in a state where the hook portion engages with a boss portion, the portion to be restricted from outside in a predetermined direction. The unit locating mechanism includes a torsion coil spring. A first arm portion engages with the locating member, and a second arm portion engages with the unit-side portion such that the torsion coil spring biases the locating member in a direction which causes the hook portion to engage with the boss portion.
