Abstract
A thickness detection device for detecting a thickness of an object includes a thickness-direction moving member and a thickness detector. The thickness-direction moving member is held to be movable in a direction of the thickness by the object inserted into a cavity having an opening that opens in a plurality of directions. The thickness detector detects the thickness-direction moving member moved by the object inserted into the cavity to detect the thickness of the object. The thickness-direction moving member has a portion to face the object inserted into the cavity. The portion has a shape inclined relative to an insertion direction of the object.
