    摘要: A locking mechanism includes a first member that is provided on one side to lock and is rotated about a rotating shaft, a second member that is provided on the other side to lock and comes into contact with the first member to rotate the first member, a rotation applying member that further applies a rotational force to the first member rotated by the second member, a restriction portion that restricts movement of the first member to be rotated in a direction in which the first member is released from a locked state, and an elastic portion that allows the first member and the restriction portion to be in elastic contact with each other and allows the first member and the restriction portion to start to be in elastic contact with each other before the first member rotated by the second member is further rotated by the rotation applying member in a release direction which is the direction in which the first member is released from the locked state.
