Object moving device

An object moving device comprising:

• a drive section;
• a cable that is wound and unwound by the drive section;
• a moving member to which a moving object is mounted, wherein the moving member is raised and lowered together with the moving object by winding and unwinding of the cable;
• a guide rail extending in a moving direction of the moving object, wherein the guide rail slidably engages with the moving member and is capable of guiding a movement of the moving member;
• a cushioning member provided on the moving member;
• and
• a receiving portion that is provided on a member mounted to the guide rail and abuts onto the cushioning member to restrict the movement of the moving member;
• wherein the receiving portion has a high frictional force portion provided at a site where the receiving portion abuts onto at least a part of the cushioning member, wherein a frictional force between the high frictional force portion and the cushioning member is higher than that between a remaining portion of the receiving portion and the cushioning member.
