A frame structure comprising:

• a C-shaped frame that has a front side that opens in a forward and rearward direction among the forward and rearward direction, a leftward and rightward direction and an upward and downward direction, which are perpendicular to each other, and that includes a lower frame, an intermediate frame having a lower end portion coupled to the lower frame, a first upper frame which has a rear end portion coupled to an upper end portion of the intermediate frame and in which a front end portion thereof is disposed below the rear end portion thereof, and a second upper frame having a front end portion coupled to the front end portion of the first upper frame;
• an upper action section supported by the second upper frame of the C-shaped frame;
• and
• a lower action section supported by the lower frame of the C-shaped frame,
• wherein, when a reaction force is applied through the upper action section, the C-shaped frame itself is elastically deformed, and
• wherein according to the elastic deformation, the intermediate frame and the first upper frame of the C-shaped frame pivots to a first rotational direction about a leftward and rightward direction axis and the second upper frame of the C-shaped frame pivots to a second rotational direction, which is a direction opposite to the first rotational direction, about the leftward and rightward direction axis.

A frame structure comprising:

• a C-shaped frame that includes:
• a lower frame, an intermediate frame having a lower end portion coupled to the lower frame, a first upper frame which has a rear end portion coupled to an upper end portion of the intermediate frame and in which a front end portion thereof is disposed below the rear end portion thereof, and a second upper frame having a front end portion coupled to the front end portion of the first upper frame;
• an upper action section supported by the second upper frame;
• and
• a lower action section supported by the lower frame,
• wherein a rear end portion of the second upper frame is exposed to a space between the intermediate frame and the second upper frame, and
• when a reaction force is applied through the upper action section, the intermediate frame and the first upper frame pivots in a first rotational direction about a leftward and rightward direction axis, and the second upper frame pivots in second rotational direction, which is a direction opposite to the first rotational direction, about the leftward and rightward direction axis.

A frame structure comprising:

• a C-shaped frame that includes:
• a lower frame, an intermediate frame having a lower end portion coupled to the lower frame, a first upper frame which has a rear end portion coupled to an upper end portion of the intermediate frame and in which a front end portion thereof is disposed below the rear end portion thereof, and a second upper frame having a front end portion coupled to the front end portion of the first upper frame;
• an upper action section supported by the second upper frame;
• and
• a lower action section supported by the lower frame,
• wherein a rear end portion of the second upper frame is exposed to a space between the intermediate frame and the second upper frame,
• wherein, in an elastic deformation of the C-shaped frame when a reaction force is applied through the upper action section, an angle between the intermediate frame and the lower frame is increased and an angle between the first upper frame and the second upper frame is decreased.

A press apparatus comprising:

• a first point of action and a second point of action, to which a reaction force upon pressing are applied;
• and
• a frame that includes a continuous element that is continuous between the first point of action and the second point of action, the continuous element having a gap formed between the first point of action and the second point of action in a first direction,
• wherein the continuous element has a first position, a second position and a third position in sequence from the first point of action toward the second point of action,
• the third position and the second point of action are disposed between the first position and the second position in the first direction,
• the second point of action is disposed between the second position and the third position in a second direction crossing the first direction, and
• during the elastic deformation of the frame upon a pressing process, an angle between a line that connects the first point of action and the first position and a line that connects the first position and the second point of action increases, and an angle between a line that connects the second position and the third position and a line that connects the third position and the second point of action decreases.
