A frame structure comprising:

• a C-shaped frame having 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;
• an upper action section supported by an upper front portion of the C-shaped frame;
• and
• a lower action section supported by a lower front portion 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 such that a displacement of the upper action section in the forward and rearward direction, which occurs according to an elastic deformation of the C-shaped frame, is canceled out and such that a displacement of a pivotal movement about a leftward and rightward direction axis of the upper action section is canceled out.

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.

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.
