Abstract

A transfer member is supported by a movable unit. A blocking member is movable between a blocking position at which an access path to a first terminal is blocked and an opening position at which the access path is opened. A second terminal is supported by the movable unit. Following movement of the movable unit, a latch mechanism latches the blocking member at the blocking position when the movable unit is located at a separated position and unlatches the blocking member when the movable unit moves from the separated position to a standard position. When the movable unit moves from the separated position to the standard position, the second terminal moves to a position at which the second terminal comes into contact with the first terminal through the access path.
