Abstract
A structure, including first and second portions respectively having a serration in which peaks and valleys are continuous, and configured to adjust relative positions of the first and second portions in an adjustment direction by interlocking the peaks and valleys with each other. The adjustment direction is a direction in which the peaks and valleys of the serration are continuous; a fixing portion configured to maintain a defined state. The defined state is a state in which the peaks and valleys are interlocked with each other and the relative positions of the first and second portions are fixed; and a positioning mechanism provided on the second portion or the fixing portion, and having a contact portion configured to contact the first portion in the defined state.
Claims5
A structure, comprising:
- first and second portions
- respectively having a serration in which peaks and valleys are continuous, and
- configured to adjust relative positions of the first and second portions in an adjustment direction by interlocking the peaks and valleys with each other, wherein the adjustment direction is a direction in which the peaks and valleys of the serration are continuous;
- a fixing portion configured to maintain a defined state, wherein the defined state is a state in which the peaks and valleys are interlocked with each other and the relative positions of the first and second portions are fixed;
- and
- a positioning mechanism
- provided on the second portion or the fixing portion, and
- having a contact portion configured to contact the first portion in the defined state in such a manner that a position of the interlock of the serration can be reproduced, and wherein:
- the positioning mechanism is configured to adjust the relative position of the contact portion with respect to the first portion in the adjustment direction in such a manner that the contact portion contacts the first portion in the defined state,
- the fixing portion has a screw hole,
- the positioning mechanism
- is provided on the fixing portion, and
- comprises a shaft portion having a screw thread, the contact portion in a flange shape is provided on an end of the shaft,
- the relative position of the contact portion is variable by screwing the shaft portion into the screw hole, and
- the structure is configured to adjust the relative position of the contact portion in the adjustment direction by preventing a rotation of the shaft portion with a stopper.
