There is a technique disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 273.

According to this prior art, a locking portion for locking the fitted inner tray is provided on one inner peripheral surface and the other inner peripheral surface of the inner tray accommodating portion formed in the main body. One side of the storage
An elastic portion for exerting an elastic force toward the other side is provided on the side wall portion provided with the engaging portion of the inner peripheral surface, and the engagement between the main body and the inner plate is held by the elastic action of this elastic portion. However, the inner plate is prevented from coming off from the main body.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned prior art, one of the main body side engaging portions for engaging with the inner tray is provided in the elastic portion for exerting the elastic force on the inner tray.
When fitting and assembling the inner tray into the inner tray storage section, when the two engaging sections are crossed over, a strong frictional resistance acts on both engaging sections. There was a problem that it was worn early.

Further, since the elastic portion is constituted by the side wall portion on one side forming the inner plate storage portion, and this elastic portion has a erected structure in which both ends are fixed, the elastic portion is locked on the elastic portion. Since the part is limited to the central part of the elastic part, the locking and holding on one side of the main body with respect to the inner plate is limited to one place, and the stable holding and holding of the inner plate cannot be achieved. was there.

Further, since the elastic portion is constructed such that one side wall portion forming the inner plate storage portion is provided with slits so that both ends thereof are fixed and is erected, the elastic portion is elastically deformed. However, there is a problem in that it requires a relatively large force to make it difficult to attach and detach the inner plate to and from the main body.

Therefore, the present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and it is a technical idea to make the elasticity of the elastic portion properly act to hold and hold the main body and the inner plate. It is an object of the present invention to maintain stable locking for a long period of time, achieve stable locking and holding of the inner plate, and obtain a smooth operation of attaching and detaching the inner plate.

[0015]

[Function] When the inner plate is assembled to the main plate storage unit of the main body,
With the outer peripheral surface of one side of the middle plate pressed against the abutting piece of the bullet piece of the main body, the locking groove is locked to the locking piece of the main body and the locking recess is locked to the locking projection piece of the main body. By this locking, it is irremovably assembled to the main body, and the pressing force acting from the bullet piece on the inner plate firmly secures the locking groove of the inner plate and the locking piece of the main body. This achieves a strong assembly of the inner plate without rattling against the body.

Further, the locking projections are provided at the chamfered portions at both ends of the side wall portion on one side of the main body, and the locking recesses are
Since is provided in chamfered portion at both ends of one side portion of the inner plate, by engaging against the engagement recess of the engagement projecting pieces, one side portion of the inner plate are engaged in the body at both ends in the width direction Therefore, the inner plate is held and held in a stable state with respect to the main body.

Since the locking projection is provided on the immovable portion of the main body, the fixed locking state with the locking recess of the inner plate is stable regardless of the elastic deformation of the bullet, and the bullet is The elastic force that holds the engagement between the engagement piece and the engagement groove only needs to be applied to the inner plate, and its elastic deformation affects the engagement form of the engagement protrusion with respect to the engagement recess of the inner dish. The structure is simple because it is not given.

When the inner plate is detached from the main body, the inner plate is pressed and displaced in one direction against the elastic force of the elastic piece to release the engagement between the engaging piece and the engaging groove. The other side of the plate can be pulled up and the middle plate can be pulled out in the other direction .

On the contrary, when assembling the inner plate to the main body, the inner plate is inserted obliquely from above into the main plate storage portion of the main body,
Elastically deforming the bullet pieces in a state where the locking recesses is engaged the locking protrusion, and push the other side portion of the inner tray to the inner tray housing section as it is, the locking grooves of the locking pieces by elastic force of the bullet pieces The assembly of the inner plate with respect to the main body is achieved by locking the inner plate to the main plate.

When the inner plate is attached to or detached from the main body, the inner plate elastically deforms the bullet piece with respect to the main body while the engagement projection of the main body is engaged with the engagement recess of the inner plate, and the inner plate slightly moves in one direction . It will be displaced to the
Since both are located at the corners that are chamfered, they are elastically deformed and are positioned obliquely to the displacement direction of the inner plate with respect to the main body. locking surface portion mutually engaged substantial engagement is made to function the protrusion width as a locking range obliquely, will be wide <br/> gel that substantial locking range, thereby Kakaritome突Even if the main body and the inner plate are displaced within a range in which the elastic piece is elastically deformed in a state where the piece and the locking recess are locked, the locking between the locking projection and the locking recess is deteriorated or released. Not stable, but secured.

The projecting piece is formed by a notch in the side wall portion on one side of the main body, whereas the locking projections are corners located at both ends of the side wall portion on one side where the projecting piece is provided. Since it is provided on the removed corner, the elastic condition of the bullet affects the locking of the locking projection to the locking recess due to the structural condition that the installation location is a corner (deterioration of locking It has no effect).
