The present load support apparatus comprises an object support apparatus 10 includes a regulating device 60 that regulates movement of a support frame unit 13 with respect to a fixed frame unit 12. The regulating device includes a fixed-side slit 62 that is formed at a side frame 18, 19 of the fixed frame unit, a movable-side slit 63 that is formed at a guide frame 28, 29 of the support frame unit, and a regulating member 61 that is inserted through the slits. The regulating member is engaged with a movable-side engaging portion 71 at the movable-side slit and a fixed-side engaging portion 72 at the fixed-side slit and the regulating member is locked between the fixed-side engaging portion and the movable-side engaging portion.

The load support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the regulating member includes a first projection that is engaged with the fixed support unit and/or the movable support unit in a pull-out direction of the regulating member in a state of being locked between the fixed-side engaging portion and the movable-side engaging portion. 3. The load support apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the regulating member further includes a second projection that is engaged with the fixed support unit and/or the movable support unit in a direction in which the regulating member is to be rotated with the urging force received from the movable-side engaging portion and the reaction force received from the fixed-side engaging portion. 4. The load support apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the first projection and the second projection of the regulating member prevent the regulating member from being pulled out and rotating with the urging force received from the movable-side engaging portion and the reaction force received from the fixed-side engaging portion. 5. The load support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the movable support unit is movable against the urging force in a direction to release locking between the regulating member and the movable-side engaging portion.
