Abstract
A second roller is configured to move between a clamping position and a released position and to rotate in a forward rotation direction and a reverse rotation direction. An energizing portion is configured to move between a contact position and a separated position. A coupled portion protrudes from the second roller. A restricting portion is configured to move between a restricting position and a permitting position. A actuating portion is configured to cause the second roller to move from the released position to the clamping position, then to cause the energizing portion to move from the separated position to the contact position, and then to cause the restricting portion to move from the restricting position to the permitting position. A clutch is configured to permit the second roller to rotate in the forward rotation direction and to restrict the second roller from rotating in the reverse rotation direction.
