Restriction apparatus

A restriction apparatus, comprising:

• a movement section that moves a battery between a mounting position and a replacement position in a vehicle;
• a rotation section disposed on either one of the movement section and the vehicle side, the rotation section being configured to rotate between a first position and a second position;
• and
• a restriction section that is disposed on an other of the movement section and the vehicle, the restriction section being configured to restrict movement of the movement section from the mounting position by making contact with the rotation section located at the first position in a state where the movement section is located at the mounting position, wherein
• during when the movement section moves from the replacement position to the mounting position, the rotation section makes contact with the restriction section to rotate from the first position to the second position, and the rotation section passes a position of the restriction section to return to the first position,
• the rotation section includes a rotation member and a biasing member for biasing the rotation member toward the first position, and
• the biasing member automatically returns the rotation member to the first position after the rotation member passes a position of the restriction section.
