A clearance is required between 22 and the support shaft 19. Due to this clearance, when the bracket 15 incorporating the support shaft 19 and the card gauge portion 21 is assembled to the card insertion opening member 1,
The gap between the left and right gaps 28 is likely to vary, and the predetermined gap D cannot be obtained. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the gap 28 to the predetermined gap D. That is, the bracket 15 is temporarily fixed to the card insertion slot member 1 with the screw 20, and the bracket 15 is vertically moved along the long hole 9 until the gap 28 is set to the predetermined gap D, as shown in FIG. After moving and adjusting, the main tightening with the screw 20 was performed. Therefore, not only the adjustment is complicated, but also the assembling time is long. In addition, the bracket 15 and the screw 20 and the support shaft 19 which are moved up and down for adjustment.
Since the number of parts is increased, the number of parts is increased, and the number of assembling steps is increased accordingly, so that it is difficult to reduce the manufacturing cost. Further, the complicated work of engaging the support shaft 19 in the through hole 22 of the card gauge member 21 and the support shaft 19
The torsion coil spring 27 wound around the
After assembling the card insertion opening member 1 to the card insertion opening member 1, it requires a skilled work such as hanging on the recess 12 of the card insertion opening member 1, so that the assembling work is complicated.
