PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a positioning structure enabling accurate positioning while avoiding an increase in devices to which the positioning structure is applied. SOLUTION: This positioning structure comprises a pair of rods 5 joined to both ends of members 2 and 3, spring receivers 6 disposed on the outer side of the rods 5, and two or more of coiled springs 7, 8 interposed in series between the both ends of the members 2 and 3 and the spring receivers 6. The spring receivers 6 are restrained to move in the direction separated from the members 2 and 3 by the rod 5 to maintain the coiled springs 7, 8 in a compressed state, and when the members 2 and 3 are moved from predetermined positions, the end part of either of the spring receivers 6 at least comes into contact with either of restraining parts 12 formed at both sides of the members 2 and 3 of a housing 1.
