- and
- a preventer configured to prevent the carriage from moving when the rod indicates the non-grounded state,
- wherein the preventer is supported to be swingable upward and downward on a swing shaft and includes
- a pushed part configured to abut an upper end of the rod;
- and
- a lock pin erected on the preventer, the lock pin and the pushed part being opposite to each other with respect to the swing shaft,
- wherein when the rod moves downward, the pushed part moves downward, so that the lock pin stands up at a side of the carriage toward which the carriage is movable,
- wherein when the rod moves upward, the pushed part is pushed upward by the rod, so that the lock pin lies below the side of the carriage toward which the carriage is movable.
