An epoxy resin or the like is used, and is formed by injection molding, vacuum molding, air pressure molding, or the like. The prepared storage compartment 2 having a rectangular concave shape is slightly larger than the preparation 5 and has a size capable of storing and removing the preparation 5 freely. Even if the depth is too deep or shallow, it becomes difficult to store and take out the preparation 5, so that it is preferably about 5 to 10 mm. The finger insertion concave portion 3 is for taking out the preparation 5 from the storage chamber 2 by a finger, and is preferably provided in an arc shape having a size enough to allow a finger to enter.

The ridges 7a and 7b are, as shown in FIG.
An air gap is formed between the bottom surface 6 of the preparation storage chamber 2 and the preparation 5 to prevent the preparation 5 from adhering to the bottom surface 6 wet by the solvent used for dyeing, and air is also passed through the back surface of the preparation 5. The flowing is for promoting the drying and removal of the dyeing solvent and for facilitating the removal of the preparation 5 by hand, and is preferably about 0.5 to 3 mm in height. The support 4 may be omitted.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, ridges 7a and 7b having different heights are provided on the bottom surface, so that the preparation 5 placed thereon is relatively positioned from the finger insertion recess 3 side. As a result, the preparation 5 is more easily taken out, and the solvent descends and flows down, so that drying and removal of the solvent is further promoted. The work of inserting and removing the slide 5 becomes easy.

Embodiment 2 In FIGS. 4 to 6, a slide storing mapper 1 has projections having different heights in the vicinity of the finger insertion recess 3 on the bottom surface 6 of the preparation storage chamber 2 and in the vicinity of the opposing side wall. Example 1 except that two 8a and 8b were provided.
The configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, and the operation and effect are the same as in the first embodiment.

Embodiment 3 In FIGS. 7 to 9, the preparation storage mapper 1 is provided with a finger insertion recess 9 extending continuously from the side wall defining the preparation storage chamber 2 to the bottom of the storage chamber near the side wall. Protrusions 7a near finger insertion recess 9 at bottom
And a ridge 7b lower than the ridge 7a is provided near the opposing side wall. The support column 4 is provided at the same height as the rear bulging portion 10 of the finger insertion concave portion 9 provided at the bottom of the storage chamber.

In the third embodiment, since the finger insertion recess 9 is provided continuously from the side wall to the bottom of the storage chamber near the side wall, as shown in FIG.
It is extremely easy to take out. In addition, since the ridges 7a and 7b having different heights are provided on the bottom surface, the preparation 5 mounted thereon is inclined downward from the finger insertion recess 9 toward the opposing side wall. As a result, the preparation 5 can be more easily taken out, and the solvent descends and flows down, so that the drying and removal of the solvent is further promoted.

Embodiment 4 In FIGS.
The third embodiment is the same as the third embodiment except that, instead of the ridges 7a and 7b having different heights in the preparation storage mapp according to the third embodiment, two projections 8a and 8b having different heights are provided. The operation and effect are the same as in the third embodiment.

Fifth Embodiment FIG. 13 shows the fourth embodiment shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, in which the rear bulging portion 10 and the support 4 of the finger insertion portion 9 provided at the bottom of the preparation storage chamber are provided. When the individual pieces are stacked, the swelling portion 10 and the support 4
Are arranged so as to fit into the preparation storage chambers 2 of the lower mappe, respectively. With such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 13, a plurality of preparation storage mappers 1 can be vertically stacked, so that a large area is not required for storage and transportation, and storage and transportation efficiency is improved.

Embodiment 6 In FIG. 14, a preparation storing mappe 1 is formed by laminating an upper layer mappe piece 1a and a lower layer mappe piece 1b formed by vacuum forming or pressure forming. The upper layer mappe piece 1a includes a preparation storage chamber 2, a side wall and a finger insertion recess 9 provided continuously over the vicinity of the side wall, and projections 8a and 8 having different heights.
b, and the lower layer mappe piece 1b is provided with a column 4 and both are joined via an adhesive (not shown). FIG. 14 shows a state in which a number of the preparation storage mappers 1 having the above configuration are vertically stacked.

In the above embodiment, the finger insertion recesses 3, 9
Is provided on the short side wall that defines the rectangular preparation storage chamber 2, but may be provided on the long side wall. Further, the example in which the ridges 7a, 7b and the projections 8a, 8b are provided near the both side walls of the short side is shown, but they are arranged regularly or irregularly over the entire bottom surface of the preparation storage chamber. You can also. Further, the ridges 7a, 7b and the projections 8a, 8b may be used in combination. Furthermore, the slide storage mappe of the present invention can be provided with a lid as required.

[0016]

As described above, the preparation storage mapper of the present invention is provided with a finger insertion concave portion, ridges or projections having different heights are disposed, and the preparation is inclined and stored in the preparation storage chamber. Accordingly, a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the preparation storage chamber and the back surface of the preparation, and the solvent used for dyeing prevents the preparation from sticking to the bottom surface of the preparation room, and air also flows to the back surface of the preparation. At the same time, since the solvent descends and flows down, drying and removal of the solvent are promoted, and the drying and removing time is greatly reduced.

The gap formed between the back surface of the preparation and the bottom surface of the storage chamber facilitates the removal of the preparation in cooperation with the finger insertion concave portion, particularly when the preparation is wet with a solvent. However, since the preparation does not adhere to the bottom surface of the storage chamber via the solvent, it is extremely easy to remove the preparation. This effect is obtained by continuously providing the finger insertion recess from the side wall to the bottom of the storage portion near the side wall, and further increasing the ridge or protrusion near the finger insertion recess near the side wall opposed thereto. Alternatively, by lowering the projection, the gap between the tip of the preparation and the bottom of the storage chamber is further increased, so that it is further increased.
