Rotation range-limiting device-equipped apparatus

A rotation range-limiting device, comprising:

• a rotation body provided with a first surface, and a carrying surface being capable of carrying an object to be rotated thereon, and
• a stationary body opposed to the rotation body, and supporting the rotation body such that the rotation body is rotatable about a center point of the rotation body, the stationary body having a second surface opposed to the first surface of the rotation body, wherein one of the first surface and the second surface is provided with (a) an arc-shaped slide-guiding portion, center of which corresponds to the center point of the rotation body, (b) end walls formed at both ends of the slide-guiding portion, and (c) a slider movable along the slide-guiding portion, and wherein the other of the first surface and the second surface is provided with a locking portion, which projects toward the slide-guiding portion at a location on a circle having the same diameter as the slide-guiding portion such that it can abut against the slider.
