The rod 65 inserted into the case 61 receives a biasing force in a direction protruding from the case 61 with a compression coil spring 67 interposed between the rod 65 and the bottom (the left end in FIG. 6) of the case 61.
A rod 65 is provided to accommodate one end of the compression coil spring 67.
Is formed with a concave portion 69.

A projection 71 protrudes from the surface of the rod 65 opposite to the concave portion 69, and enters a long guide hole 73 formed in the case 61.

Accordingly, the rod 65 is reciprocated with respect to the case 61 by the movement of the protrusion 71 inside the guide elongated hole 73, and the protrusion 71 comes into contact with one end of the guide elongated hole 73 as shown in FIG. The movement in the pull-out direction is prevented.

As shown in FIG. 8, a circular hole 75 is formed between the projection 71 and the end of the rod 65 disposed in the case 61 so as to have an axis in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction of the rod 65. ing. The rotary cam 77 shown in FIG. 9 is supported by the circular hole 75.

The other end of the columnar portion 77A of the rotary column 77 is a case 61
The rotating cam 77 is connected to the rod 65
From being pulled out.

As shown in FIG. 9, the rotary cam 77 has a pair of plate-like portions 77B in opposite directions when viewed from the axial direction of the columnar portion 77A.
Is protruding. Recesses 77C that are recessed in a substantially V-shape in the axial direction are formed at the distal ends of these plate-like portions 77B.

One of the forked tips of the plate-like portion 77B formed by the recess 77C has an inclined guide surface whose surface on the opposite side of the recess 77C extends toward the tip and gradually reduces the width dimension of the forked tip.
It is 77D.

In addition, corresponding to the rotary cam 77, inside the case 61, as shown in FIG.
3, 85 are formed to protrude into the movement locus of the rotary cam 77.

The lid 10 is formed with a box-shaped protrusion 14, and the mounting panel 60 is provided with a rubber cushion 58. As shown in FIG. 2, the protrusions 14 and the cushions 58 alleviate the shock when closing the lid 10 with the plate-shaped body holder H interposed therebetween in the stored state, and prevent rattling between the card cases 24. doing.

Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described.

When the lid 10 is closed as shown in FIG. 2, the striker 12 formed on the lid 10
And the leading end enlarged portion 12A as shown in FIG.
Is held between the claws 87. Further, the holders 23, 23A, 23B are held between the cushion 58 and the protruding portion 14 so as not to rattle. At this time, the surface of the lid 10 is the inner panel 8
And the same plane.

In this state, the notches 30, 39A and 30B are separated from the holding pin 38 as shown in FIG.

Next, when the striker 12 provided at one end of the lid 10 is pushed in a small amount in the direction of arrow B, as shown in FIG. 7 (A), the opposite side via the concave portion 77C corresponding to the corner portion 83B and the columnar portion 77A. The inclined guide surface 77D outside the concave portion 77C is inclined surface 85.
Guided by A, it rotates a little counterclockwise. For this reason, even if the pushing force is released and the rod 65 is moved in the withdrawing direction by the urging force of the compression coil spring 67, the concave portion 77C previously corresponding to the corner portion 83B does not correspond to the corner portion 83B, Recess
Since the vicinity of the inclined guide surface 77D outside the 77C abuts on the corner portion 83B, the rotary cam 77 is further rotated counterclockwise, and the concave portion 69 is drawn out of the case 61 by a maximum amount as shown in FIG. . As a result, the pawl 87 receiving the urging force in the direction in which it is separated from each other in the free state releases the grip of the striker 12, and the lid 10 is opened.

At this time, the holders 23, 23A, and 23B are released with the arms 26, 26A, and 26 mounted on the lid 10.
The sector gear 18 formed on the arm 16 of the second gear meshes with the gear 45 fixed to the rotating shaft of the damper 42 to limit the opening speed of the lid 10. The lid 10 is slowly opened together with the holders 23, 23A and 23B.

As the opening operation proceeds, the notch 30B formed in the arm 26B of the holder 23B placed on the lid 10 comes into contact with the holding pin 38, and the rotation of the holder 23B is locked. When the opening operation further proceeds, the holders 23A and 23
Is stopped by the holding pin 38, and finally the edge 20A of the elongated hole 20 formed in the arm 16 of the lid 10 is held by the holding pin 38.
, And the opening operation of the lid 10 stops.

In this state, the three cards C are arranged at regular intervals so that necessary cards can be pulled out.

Next, after pulling out the necessary card, the lid 10 is pushed back by hand, and the enlarged-diameter portion 12A of the striker 12 is brought into contact with the rod 65 and is pushed into the case 61, as shown in FIG. 7 (C).
As shown in FIG. 7, the claw 87 contacts the inside of the rectangular frame 61A and approaches each other, thereby gripping the tip enlarged diameter portion 12A. When the columnar portion 77A passes through the flat portion 83A and is further pushed, the rotary cam 77 has a concave portion 77 of the rotary cam 77 on the distal end side of the rod 65.
C corresponds to the protrusion 85 as shown in FIG. 7 (D), and the rib 77E rotates counterclockwise by a small amount corresponding to the protrusion 91.

Therefore, if the pressing force in the direction of arrow B is released in this state,
The rod 65 moves in the direction of being pulled out of the case 61 by the biasing force of the compression coil spring 67, and the concave portion 77C of the rotary cam 77
It engages with the corner 83B as shown in FIG. In this state, since the rotation of the rotary cam 77 is prevented in the counterclockwise direction, the rod 65 cannot move in the withdrawing direction. Accordingly, the pawl 87 holds the striker 12 and maintains the closed state of the lid 10, and returns to the housed state shown in FIG.

In the first embodiment, the holder 23 is opened while being arranged at regular intervals. However, in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 10, the arm 100 is connected to the rear end of the flat plate portion 72 of the holder 23. By configuring the flat portion of the arm 23 to be parallel to the flat plate portion 72, the holder 23 can be opened in a fan shape.

Further, in the present invention, not only the latch 62 shown in the above embodiment, but also a latch having another configuration by engagement of a heart cam and a pin can be widely applied.
