  The support arm 30 is made of resin. One support arm 30 is provided in each storage section 24. The support arm 30 is attached to the end (upper end) of the holder body 20 on the opening 24a side or the vicinity thereof so that the side surface of the stored item can be supported at the upper position. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the support arm 30 is provided with a rotation shaft portion 31 on one of the holder body 20 and the support arm 30, and the rotation shaft portion 31 is rotated on the other of the holder body 20 and the support arm 30. By providing the rotational bearing portion 25 that is movably supported, the holder body 20 is pivotally supported. In the illustrated example, the support arm 30 is provided with the rotation shaft portion 31 integrally with the support arm 30, and the base portion 22 and the panel 23 of the holder body 20 are provided with the half-rotating rotation bearing portions 25, respectively. The case where the holder body 20 is rotatably supported is shown. The positions of the rotation shaft portion 31 and the rotation bearing portion 25 (the position of the rotation shaft of the support arm 30) are unchanged even when the support arm 30 rotates with respect to the holder body 20.

  When the restriction of the stopper 50 is not released, the support arm 30 is pushed downward by a protruding position 30a protruding into the storage portion 24 and a stored item stored in the storage portion 24 as shown in FIG. It can rotate with respect to the holder main body 20 between the push-down position 30b that rotates (from the protruding position 30a to the side opposite to the housing opening 24a side) and the tip abuts against the holder main body 20 (base 22). Thereby, the dimension of the accommodating part 24 is changed, and the insertion and holding | maintenance of the stored thing from which a diameter differs are attained. The angle between the protruding position 30a and the pushed-down position 30b is, for example, about 60 degrees.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the support urging spring 40 is made of metal, for example, a torsion spring (torsion coil spring). Only one support urging spring 40 is used for one support arm 30. One end of the support urging spring 40 is in contact with the holder body 20 (engaged and assembled), and the other end of the support urging spring 40 is in contact with the support arm 30 (engaged). Is installed).

  The stopper 50 is made of resin. The stopper 50 includes a holder main body side stopper 51 provided integrally with the holder main body 20 and a support arm side stopper 52 provided integrally with the support arm 30.
