There are provided a cam 23 which can be rotated by a releasing motor M4,
a contact/separation lever 24 which is moved according to the rotation of
the cam 23, a light shielding plate 25 and a cam position detecting
sensor S7 which detect the rotational position of the cam, and a CPU
circuit unit for controlling the rotation of the releasing motor based on
the detecting operation by the light shielding plate and the cam position
detecting sensor. The CPU circuit unit controls the rotation of the
releasing motor M4 in such a manner that the cam is rotated reversely
when a state detected by the light shielding plate and the cam position
detecting sensor is not varied even if the releasing motor M4 is
controlled to be rotated.
