PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing member that can reliably regulate rotation of the fixing member with a simple configuration, and is excellent in convenience.SOLUTION: A support mechanism 5 comprises: a caster 6 that is provided on a bottom plate 4a of an apparatus body 4 and supports the apparatus body 4 movably on a floor face F; and a fixing member 7 that is provided on the bottom plate 4a adjacent to the caster 6 and is in contact with the floor face F to inhibit movement of the apparatus body 4. The fixing member 7 includes a shaft part 20 that is screwed from below into a screw hole 11 formed in the bottom plate 4a, and a leveling pad 21 that is provided on a lower end of the shaft part 20 and can be in contact with the floor face F, and can adjust a distance between the bottom plate 4a and the leveling pad 21 by adjusting a screwing length of the shaft part 20 into the screw hole 11. The shaft part 20 has a groove part 26 that has a smaller diameter than that of the screw hole 11 and cannot be screwed with the screw hole 11. A length of the groove part 26 is longer than a length of the screw hole 11.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
【課題】簡易な構成で固定部材の回転を確実に規制できる利便性に優れた固定部材を提供する。【解決手段】支持機構5は、装置本体4の底板4aに設けられて、該装置本体4を床面F上で移動可能に支持するキャスター6と、前記キャスター6に隣接して前記底板4aに設けられて、前記床面Fに当接して前記装置本体4の移動を阻止する固定部材7と、を備える。前記固定部材7は、前記底板4aに形成されたネジ孔11に下方から螺入される軸部20と、前記軸部20の下端に設けられて前記床面Fに接触可能な脚座21と、を有し、前記ネジ孔11への前記軸部20の螺入長を調整することで前記底板4aから前記脚座21までの距離を調整可能である。前記軸部20は、前記ネジ孔11よりも小径で該ネジ孔11に螺合不能な溝部26を有し、該溝部26の長さは前記ネジ孔11の長さ以上である。【選択図】図5
