Original Abstract Submitted
To provide an extension/contraction mechanism that can lessen increase stress imposed on belts. An extension/contraction mechanism according to the present disclosure includes a telescopic extension/contraction part, in which the extension/contraction mechanism includes a first drive source connected to a screw shaft in such a way that it can transmit a drive force, a first belt holder that accommodates a second belt in such a way that the second belt can be sent out to the screw shaft or the second belt can be wound-up from the screw shaft, a second belt holder that accommodates a first belt in such a way that the first belt can be wound-up from the screw shaft, and a first belt holder drive part and a second belt holder drive part. The first and second belt holder drive parts rotate the first and second belt holders independently of the rotation of the screw shaft, respectively.
