• an elastic member configured to bias the guide member from the second position toward the first position;
• and
• at least one regulating member configured to regulate movement of the guide member in the movement direction by contacting the guide member when the guide member is positioned in the first position,
• wherein the guide member includes a pressed portion configured to receive a pressing force for movement of the guide member from the first position to the second position, and a plurality of contacting portions configured to contact the regulating member at different positions in the width direction, and
