wherein the main body comprises:
a first surface facing a guide rail on which the carrier plate slides;
a second surface placed on an opposite side of the first surface; and
a side surface extending between the first surface and the second surface to face toward an outside to which the driving-force transmission member of which the end portion is held in the space region, the side surface including an opening portion provided spatially in communication with the space region, and
wherein the opening portion:
is a hole encircled by the side surface, and
has a shape in which a pullout opening and an insertion opening are continuous to each other, the pullout opening having a first width where the driving-force transmission member can pass but the end portion does not, the insertion opening having a second width which is wider than the first width and where the end portion can pass.
