Abstract: In a first power reception posture, a first power reception section does not overlap with a first rail and a first feeder cable in a view along a first direction but overlaps with at least one of the first rail and the first feeder cable in a view along a second direction. In a first non-power reception posture, the first power reception section does not overlap with the first rail, the first feeder cable, a second rail, and a second feeder cable in the view along the first direction and the view along the second direction. In a second power reception posture, a second power reception section does not overlap with the second rail and the second feeder cable in the view along the second direction but overlaps with at least one of the second rail and the second feeder cable in the view along the first direction. In a second non-power reception posture, the second power reception section does not overlap with the second rail, the second feeder cable, the first rail, and the first feeder cable in the view along the first direction and the view along the second direction.
