As described above, when the memory card 101 is inserted, there is no need to open the card door as in the related art, and only the memory card 101 needs to be inserted. Also, when the memory card 101 is inserted, it is automatically pulled out from the middle and the drum 113 is automatically rotated and shielded, so that it is not necessary to close the card door as in the conventional case, so that the operation is much more dramatic than in the past. Good nature. In addition, since the card door and the recording medium attaching / detaching mechanism are unlikely to be damaged, unlike the related art, there is no fear that the card door and the recording medium attaching / detaching mechanism are damaged. In addition, since the cylindrical member rotates, the card door does not protrude greatly when the memory card 101 is inserted / removed as in the related art, so that there is no inadvertent damage, and no It can also contribute to miniaturization.

In the first embodiment, the opening 113a
Although the blinder 114 is provided in order to shield the memory card 101 and the internal mechanism from being seen, the operability is still good without this.

FIGS. 13 to 15 illustrate the operation of the insertion restricting mechanism. FIG. 13 shows the memory card 101.
(A) is a top view, and (b) is a side view.

When the memory card 101 is inserted, the memory card 101 is not inserted to a regular position of the card connector 116a due to a fitting load between the terminal of the memory card 101 and the terminal of the card connector 116a which is electrically connected. In addition, there is a possibility that the spring will move in the insertion direction against the reaction force of the toggle spring 118. However, while the memory card 101 is not inserted to the proper position, the regulating pin 108 and the regulating surface 102b are in contact with each other, so that the card connector 116a cannot move.

The memory card 101 is the card connector 1
When inserted into the regular position with respect to 16a, the restriction release pin is pushed by the memory card 101 as shown in FIG.
The stopper lever 107 rotates. As a result, the contact between the restriction pin 108 and the restriction surface 102b is avoided, and the card connector 116a is movable.

When the memory card 101 is further pressed, the load of the toggle spring 118 is reversed as described above, and the memory card 101 is pulled out, and the insertion is completed as shown in FIG.

By providing such an insertion restricting mechanism, even if the memory card 101 and the card connector 11
Even if the fitting load of 6a varies, the memory card 101
Insertion of the recording medium is ensured, and a higher quality recording medium attaching / detaching apparatus is obtained.

The above is the first embodiment of the present invention. In the first embodiment, the memory card 101 is not necessarily a memory card as long as it is a recording medium. The connection is not necessarily required. For example, it may be a magnetic signal or an optical signal. Further, the detection SW 116c is not always necessary.

Although the material of the drum 113 is a transparent blue polycarbonate resin for the purpose of design, it is not necessarily required to be blue, it is not necessary to be transparent, and other materials such as polyacetal may be used.

Similarly, the color and the material of the blinder 114 may be different, and the effect of the present invention can be obtained even if a stamp is used instead of printing or if there is no display.

The holder driving metal spring 125 is provided for reliably moving the holder metal 117 against a load such as a friction loss when sliding.
It is not always necessary if the loss load is light.

Further, the drum 113 may be colored or colorless, but it is limited to a transparent resin material, and a light emitting diode (LED) as a light emitting means is arranged in the vicinity of the transparent resin material. In use, it is possible to more clearly show the state of insertion / ejection of the memory card 101 or to decorate the design. Of course, the light emitting device does not necessarily have to be an LED, and its method is not limited.
