Abstract
A brake mechanism including a brake member, an urging force switching member pivotable and movable among a plurality of specified positions, and a single elastic member arranged between the brake member and the urging force switching member. By switching one of the action positions of the urging force switching member to another, a different urging force is applied to the brake member from the single elastic member according to the action positions. A drive and control member separately performs a switch-over between the pressing position and the releasing position of the brake member and a switch-over of one of the action positions of the urging force switching member to another.
