Abstract
A member tilting mechanism includes a housing rear having a concave spherical portion, a cap support having a convex spherical portion, a plate pivot having a pivot portion, which is a tubular portion with an arc-like cross section, a spring plate which presses against the cap support towards the housing rear in such a manner that the plate pivot is allowed to tilt in such a state that the pivot portion is held by the concave spherical portion and the convex spherical portion, a tapping screw for fixing the spring plate to the housing rear, and a stopper that is fixed to the housing rear for restricting the deformation of the spring plate in an anti-pressing direction. According to this structure, the stopper restricts the deflection of the spring plate in the anti-pressing direction so as to prevent the excessive tilt of the plate pivot.
