The first configuration shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 has the following configuration. In the housing 2, the side after the transfer medium is transferred to the transfer medium is returned to the inside of the housing 2 through the transfer portion 3, that is, on the upper side shown in FIGS. 1 and 3. A housing portion 2A is formed.

  For example, in this embodiment, the accommodating portion 2A has a level equivalent to the thickness of the folded cover 4 described later. That is, the cover 4 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 2 </ b> A so as not to protrude from the outer contour of the housing 2 in a folded state but rather to be buried.

  For example, pivot portions 2a and 2a are formed at the left and right ends of the tip in the direction in which the transfer portion 3 side of the accommodating portion 2A is located. In addition, the housing 2 is formed with lock portions 2b and 2b that engage the cover 4 that covers the transfer portion 3 at both the left and right ends of the tip portion on the lower side of the housing 2 shown in FIGS. .

  On the other hand, the cover 4 in the first embodiment has a bent portion 4A formed in the middle of a single plate made of, for example, polypropylene resin. In the first embodiment, for example, in the first embodiment, the bent portion 4A has a side opposite to the surface facing the transfer portion 3 (hereinafter referred to as the transfer portion 3 side) (hereinafter referred to as anti-transfer). A connecting portion 4Aa that connects the top and bottom of the cover 4 with a slight thickness remaining on the portion 3 side), and a groove portion 4Ab that is formed in a V shape on the transfer portion 3 side in a side view shown in FIG. And have.

  Further, the cover 4 has a pivotal protrusion 4a pivotally supported by the pivotal support portion 2a on the upper side end surfaces in FIG. 2, and a lock that engages the lock portion 2b on the lower side end surfaces in FIG. Each hole 4b is formed.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 (a) and 3 (a), the cover 4 in the first embodiment is configured so that the groove 4Ab of the bent portion 4A is closed when the transfer portion 3 is protected. Avoiding this, the cover 4 is bent upward and downward, and the lock portions 2b of the housing 2 are engaged with the lock holes 4b on both end surfaces of the lower side.

  When the cover 4 is opened from the above state, the lock hole 4b and the lock portion 2b are disengaged, and the lower side of the cover 4 is rotated around the connection portion 4Aa toward the anti-transfer portion 3 side. After folding, the entire cover 4 is rotated about the pivot 2a and accommodated in the accommodating portion 2A. FIGS. 1B and 3B show a state in which the cover 4 is completely opened in this way and the transfer portion 3 is exposed and usable.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the cover 4 that is opened when the transfer unit 3 is used is bent by the bent portion 4 to deform its shape, and is then accommodated in the accommodating portion 2A. The cover 4 does not get in the way of operation and use.

  In the first embodiment, the accommodating portion 2A is formed in a step shape so that the cover 4 is buried so that the outermost surface of the cover 4 folded and accommodated and the outer surface of the housing 2 have the same height. Therefore, the cover 4 in the open state is not concerned at all in operation and use.

(Second form)
The second embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 has the following configuration. In the second and subsequent embodiments, only the configuration different from the first embodiment will be described. In the cover 4 of the second form, the connection part 4Aa is formed on the transfer part 3 side, and the cut part 4Ac is formed on the side opposite to the transfer part 3 instead of forming the V-shaped groove part 4Ab of the first form. ing. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  As shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 5A, the cover 4 in the second form avoids the transfer portion 3 by the connecting portion 4Aa of the bent portion 4A and protects the transfer portion 3 from the upper side. It bends to the lower side, and the lock portions 2b of the housing 2 are engaged with the lock holes 4b on both end surfaces of the lower side. When the cover 4 is in the closed state, the cut portion 4Ac is V-shaped when viewed from the side.

  When the cover 4 is opened from the above state, the lock hole 4b and the lock portion 2b are disengaged, and the lower side of the cover 4 is further rotated around the connection portion 4Aa toward the transfer portion 3 side. While being folded, the entire cover 4 is rotated around the pivotal support portion 2a and accommodated in the accommodating portion 2A. When the cover 4 is completely folded by the fold portion 4A, the cut portion 4Ac is flat when viewed from the side. FIG. 5B shows a state in which the cover 4 is completely opened in this way and the transfer unit 3 is exposed and usable.

  Thus, in the second embodiment, the same operation effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained. However, as the operation effect unique to the second embodiment, in the first embodiment, the housing 2 has a shape corresponding to the shape of the groove 4Ab in the housing portion 2A. However, in the second embodiment, when the cover 4 is completely folded, the cut portion 4Ac becomes flat when viewed from the side, and thus the gap in the first embodiment does not occur.

(Third form)
The third embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 has the following configuration. In the third embodiment, the cover 4 and the accommodating portion 2A are different from the first embodiment. First, the cover 4 of the third embodiment uses a metal plate or a resin material brazed to a predetermined arc shape shown in the figure, and the arc portion corresponds to the bent portion 4A.

  In a state where the cover 4 covers the transfer portion 3, the lower end surface thereof abuts on an outer edge surface that forms an opening for exposing the transfer portion 3 in the housing 2. Therefore, in the third embodiment, the casing 2 does not have the pivot support portion 2a and the lock portion 2b, and the cover 4 does not have the pivot support projection portion 4a and the lock hole 4b.

  The accommodating portion 2A has a level equivalent to the thickness of the cover 4 and has the following configuration. Wall surfaces 2Aa and 2Aa having a height corresponding to the thickness of the cover 4 are formed on the left and right side surfaces of the step. Push surfaces 2Ab and 2Ab parallel to the bottom surface of the step are formed continuously from the upper ends of the wall surfaces 2Aa and 2Aa toward the left and right centers. Between these pressing surfaces 2Ab and 2Ab, there is formed a gap 2Ac through which the bottom surface of the step is viewed.

  As shown in FIGS. 6, 7, and 8 (a), the cover 4 according to the third embodiment is configured so that the transfer portion 3 is protected by the arc of the bent portion 4 </ b> A when the transfer portion 3 is protected. It is bent to avoid it, and its lower end surface is in contact with an outer edge surface that forms an opening for exposing the transfer portion 3 of the housing 2.

  When the cover 4 is opened from the above state, the cover 4 is moved to the rear end side of the housing 2 while pressing the upper end of the cover 4 downward from the gap 2Ac. When the cover 4 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 2A, the bent portion 4A brazed by the pressing surface 2Ab is corrected so that the arc shape thereof is corrected to the accommodating space (linear shape) of the accommodating portion 2A. Bends. FIG. 8B shows a state where the cover 4 is completely opened in this way and the transfer unit 3 is exposed and usable.

  In order to close the cover 4 again so as to cover the transfer unit 3, the cover 4 is moved to the front end side of the housing 2 while pressing the cover 4 downward from the gap 2Ac. When the bent portion 4A is detached from the housing portion 2A, the cover 4 develops wrinkles and is in the state shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8A.

  As described above, the third embodiment can provide the same effects as the first embodiment, but the third embodiment has the same effects as the first and second embodiments. Although it has, it does not require the operation | movement which bends the cover 4 via the bending part 4A, and is a point which can be deform | transformed only by sliding.
