Abstract
A lever member of a lever assisted insertion device engages with a front frame of a shelf before a fully inserted position of a substrate unit to form a leverage fulcrum on the front frame. A force that an operator applies to the lever member is transmitted to the substrate unit via a point of application with respect to the fulcrum, thereby inserting the substrate unit up to the fully inserted position. A buffering device abuts against the front frame of the shelf within a depth range of a front panel of the substrate unit before an operation start position at which the lever member engages with the front frame of the shelf, to absorb impact of the substrate unit at the time of insertion.
