Abstract
A turning device includes a rattling restriction mechanism configured to restrict a rattling in a turning direction of a turner caused by backlashes in a transmission mechanism. The rattling restriction mechanism includes a pushed portion and a restriction section. The pushed portion includes a pushed face facing the turning direction. The restriction section includes: a contact member configured to come into contact with the pushed face while the pushed face is positioned in a specific range in the turning direction, the contact member is arranged in a movement path of the pushed face configured to move in conjunction with a turning of the turner; and a biasing mechanism configured to bias the contact member in contact with the pushed face, toward the pushed face in the turning direction.
