The positioning member includes: a first positioning piece that is attached so as to be displaceable with respect to the second structure, and has a locking surface on which the positioning projection abuts and a retreating surface inclined in a direction opposite to the locking surface, in accordance with the movement of the second structure with respect to the first structure; a second positioning piece that has the locking surface and the retreating surface, and is attached so as to be displaceable with respect to the second structure independently of the first positioning piece and so as to be adjacent to the first positioning piece, and enables the locking surface to form a positioning groove holding the positioning projection facing the locking surface of the first positioning piece; and biasing means that biases each of the positioning pieces toward the first structure.
