a housing including an opening and a first face disposed on an outer periphery of the opening;
a lid portion including a second face facing the first face, and a fixing member fixed to the second face;
a moving member configured to move along a first direction with respect to the housing;
at least two connecting members configured to connect the housing and the lid portion when the lid portion is placed at a position where the lid portion covers the opening; and
a pivoting mechanism configured to couple the fixing member of the lid portion and the moving member such that an entirety of the lid portion pivots about a rotation axis extending along a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction and to a top surface of the housing; wherein, when a first connecting member of the at least two connecting members connects the housing and the lid portion, and then, a second connecting member of the at least two connecting members connects the housing and the lid portion, the lid portion pivots about the rotation axis;
wherein the pivoting mechanism includes a rotation axis portion extending along the second direction, the first connecting member and the second connecting member are attached to the lid portion, and the rotation axis portion is positioned between the first connecting member and the second connecting member when the rotation axis portion is viewed from the second direction;
and wherein the pivoting mechanism further includes:
a first elastic body configured to act along the first direction between the second face and the moving member, and
a second elastic body configured to act along the first direction between the second face and the moving member, and
