  For example, a non-rewritable card printed on a paper or plastic card may be used.

(H)
In the said embodiment, the example which uses the leaf | plate spring part 9 as what fixes the card | curd C in a card case was given and demonstrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  For example, the card case may include a chuck mechanism that is opened and closed by a predetermined sensor or the like in order to grip and fix the stored card.

  Even with such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the card case from easily falling off due to vibration or impact during transportation after the card is received in the card case, so that the same effects as in the above embodiment can be achieved. Become.

(I)
In the embodiment described above, an example in which the concave portion formed by the two engaging portions 5 and 5 of the card case 1 is engaged with the convex portion 17 of the tray 10 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  For example, the card case mounting portion of the card case may be formed so as to engage with the concave portion of the card. Further, the card case mounting portion of the card case may be formed so as to engage with both the concave portion and the convex portion of the card carrier. In addition, the said recessed part contains hole shape like a through-hole, for example.

  Even when the card case of the present invention is attached to a shallow carrier, the card case has an effect of preventing interference in the vertical direction, so that a plurality of carriers are delivered in a stacked state. It can be widely applied to.
