As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, two types of finger hanging members 13A and 13B having different sizes of the index finger and the middle finger to be inserted are prepared for the finger hanging member 13. The finger hanging member 13 is formed in a gate shape, and a flange portion 13b is formed at a tip portion of the foot portion 13a on both sides, and an inner groove portion 13c and an outer groove portion 13d are formed inside and outside the flange portion 13b, respectively.
[0019]
A pair of engaging slits 1a is formed in the lower case 1 along the front-rear direction corresponding to the foot portions 13a on both sides of the finger hanging member 13, and the ends of the pair of engaging slits 1a are abutting surfaces with the front end of the battery cover 4. 1 and a pair of engagement slits 1a facing the rear end of the lower case 1a with the battery lid 4 removed, formed at the lower end of a pair of foot portions 13a by inner and outer flanges 13b. By inserting the groove portions 13c and 13d, the replaced finger hanging member 13 can be mounted on the lower case 1. Then, when the battery cover 4 is attached again, the rear ends of the pair of engaging slits 1a are closed by the front end surfaces of the battery cover 4, so that the finger hanging member 13 does not come off.
[0020]
In addition, the finger hanging member 13 is made of an elastomer material, has a good touch, deforms and fits the finger, and is restored to its original shape when the finger is pulled out, and there is a slight difference in finger size. Also a sufficient fit can be obtained.
[0021]
The finger hooking member 13 is slidably engaged with a pair of engaging slits 1a of the lower case 1, but is formed on the case 1 having a claw portion formed at the tip of the foot portion 13a. The claw portion may be engaged with the engaged hole.
