It is stabilized in a state where two opposing side surfaces of the side surfaces are in contact with each other.

When the card supporting column 42 is rotated with the leaf spring 41 sandwiching the card supporting column 42, the interval between the pressing surfaces of the leaf spring 41 is initially widened and the elasticity of the leaf spring 41 is reduced. It acts in a direction that resists rotation of the column 42. On the other hand, the card supporting column 42 further rotates, and the leaf spring 4
When the pressing surface 1 passes through the corner of the card support column 42, the elasticity of the leaf spring 41 acts in a direction to promote the rotation of the card support column 42. When the pressing surface of the leaf spring 41 comes into contact with the flat surface of the side surface of the card support post 42, the elastic force of the leaf spring 41 acts in a direction that resists the rotation of the card support post 42, and 2 becomes difficult to rotate.
This state is referred to as a stable state of the card unit 2.

As described above, since the card supporting column 42 has four flat surfaces on the side surfaces, the stable state is obtained every time the card section 2 is rotated by 90 degrees. Specifically, the stable state is a position indicated by reference numerals A, B, C, and D in FIG. Here, the card unit 2 can be used at the positions indicated by the reference signs A, B, and C, and the position of the reference sign D indicates the position of the card unit 2 in the stored state.

For this reason, when the user rotates the card section 2, a “click feeling” is felt every time the card section 2 is rotated by 90 degrees.
Can be reliably moved to any of the positions indicated by the reference signs A, B, C and D. Note that symbols A, B, C and D
The force for stabilizing the card portion 2 at the position indicated by the arrow is provided by the elasticity of the leaf spring 41. If a force sufficient to resist the elasticity of the leaf spring 41 is applied, the stable card portion 2 is further rotated. It is also easy.

As shown in FIG. 2, card terminals 3, 3, and 3 are provided on the main body 10 at the joint between the main body 10 and the card section 2.

The upper surface of the contact piece 27 and the surface of the card section 2 are flush with each other. In addition, as the contact piece 27, a conductor piece such as a metal plate similar to the above-described contact piece 23 can be used, but it can also be realized by printing or painting a conductor on the surface of the card section 2. The contact piece 27 is connected to an internal circuit (not shown) of the card unit 2.

In this case, since the contact terminals 31,... Abut on the contact piece 27 by the elastic force of the coil spring 35, the effect obtained by fitting the contact terminals 31,. Thus, the effect of stabilizing the card section 2 does not occur. However, stabilizing the card unit 2 at the positions indicated by the reference numerals A, B, C and D (FIG. 2) appropriately adjusts the elasticity of the leaf spring 41 of the card support 4 when the card support column 42 is sandwiched. This is fully feasible.

For this reason, by providing the contact terminal portion 26 shown in FIG. 5 on the surface of the card portion 2 instead of the contact terminal engaging portion 22 in the above embodiment, the effect of the portable telephone 1 is not impaired. Man-hours can be saved, and costs can be reduced.
