The bail roller opening and closing mechanism includes a rotating member rotationally driven by the space motor via the clutch, a transmission member causing the bail roller to be displaced by displacement of the transmission member and manual displacement of the bail roller, and a bidirectional motion transmission mechanism for transmitting bidirectional motion between the rotating member and the transmission member.
