Patent ID: 7891996

Claim:
An object fitting/removing drive unit for fitting and removing a plurality of first objects to and from a plurality of second objects, which are to be connected to each other in a respective manner, comprising: a plurality of operation members each including a holding frame, wherein each of the holding frames holds a respective one of the first objects to be connected; an inner frame which accommodates said operation members in a manner movable in a fitting/removing direction, wherein said inner frame includes a plurality of first positioning portions which determine a position of the second objects to be connected, on an imaginary plane which is orthogonal to the fitting/removing direction, with respect to the first objects to be connected; a pair of outer frames which are respectively mounted on side surfaces of said inner frame in a manner movable along a direction which is orthogonal to the fitting/removing direction between an initial position and a fitting-completed position, for guiding said operation members one by one toward the second objects to be connected to fit the first objects one by one to the second objects, when said pair of outer frames are moved from the initial position to the fitting-completed position; driving force-transferring means for transferring a driving force in the direction which is orthogonal to the fitting/removing direction, to said pair of outer frames; and a pair of flanges which are connected to the plurality of second objects to be connected, and which are fitted to said inner frame.
