[0015]
Therefore, even when the door 81A is closed and the door 81B is closed after the door 81A, or when the door 81A is kept closed, the back contact portion U3 is turned as shown in FIG. The guide groove m1 enters the guide projection n1 while being closed, and the backing portion U3 is turned as shown in FIG. 8 [backing normal state], so that the back side 81a and 81b of the doors 81A and 81B are backed. The portion except for the gap g1 is closed by the backing portion U3.
[0016]
Further, when the door 81B is opened with the door 81A closed, the backing portion U3 turns while the guide groove m1 is guided by the guide projection n1 to open the door 81B. Since the door 81B can be opened without giving any trouble, it is extremely convenient for the user, but the structure becomes complicated and expensive.
