Abstract
A driving-force-transmitting mechanism includes a driving-force-transmitting component that transmits a driving force from an apparatus body to an attaching object, the attaching object being attachable to and detachable from the apparatus body; and plural operating components that enables or disables the transmission of the driving force from the apparatus body to the attaching object when the attaching object is attached to or detached from the apparatus body, the operating components operating sequentially with delays in such a manner as to move the driving-force-transmitting component in a direction intersecting attaching and detaching directions in which the attaching object is attached to and detached from the apparatus body.

A driving-force-transmitting mechanism comprising:
- a driving-force-transmitting component that transmits a driving force from an apparatus body to an attaching object, the attaching object being attachable to and detachable from the apparatus body;
- and
- a plurality of operating components that enables or disables the transmission of the driving force from the apparatus body to the attaching object when the attaching object is attached to or detached from the apparatus body, the operating components operating sequentially with delays in such a manner as to move the driving-force-transmitting component in a direction intersecting attaching and detaching directions in which the attaching object is attached to and detached from the apparatus body, wherein each of the plurality of operating components is configured to move in parallel with the attaching and detaching directions.
