Here, the slide lid 88 provided in the housing 12 closes the storage port 86, and the slide lid 88 can be slid in a direction in which the storage port 86 is opened (a direction toward the inside of the housing 12). The cover 88 is applied with a biasing force in a direction to close the storage port 86 by a compression coil spring 92. For this reason, by sliding the slide lid 88 against the biasing force to open the storage port 86, fingers can be inserted into the housing 12, and the storage port 86 (the storage hole 94 is inserted into the housing 12. ), The card 28 can be stored and taken out. Further, after the card 28 is stored or removed from the housing 12, the slide lid 88 is slid by the urging force, and the slide lid 88 automatically closes the storage port 86.
[0066]
Thus, not only can the card 28 be stored and removed from the housing 12 in accordance with the operation of sliding the slide lid 88 to open the storage port 86, but also after the card 28 is stored or removed from the housing 12. There is no need to operate the slide lid 88 to close the storage port 86. For this reason, the storing operability and taking out operability of the card 28 with respect to the housing 12 can be improved with a simple configuration.
[0067]
Further, when the card 28 is stored in the housing 12, the inclined surface 96 or the insertion recess 98 of the slide lid 88 can guide the card 28 to the storage hole 94 of the storage port 86, and when the card 28 is taken out from the housing 12. The card 28 protrudes from the storage hole 94 of the slide cover 88 that has been slid. For this reason, the card 28 can be stored in and taken out of the housing 12 without looking at the storage port 86, thereby further improving the storage operability and removal operability of the card 28 with respect to the housing 12.
[0068]
Further, since the storage opening 86 can be opened by sliding the slide cover 88 to the left of the vehicle (in the card 28 storage direction), the width of the slide cover 88 and the inner mirror device 80 for the vehicle in the vehicle front-rear direction is increased. Can be small.
[0069]
Furthermore, since the housing 12 can store the entire card 28, the slide lid 88 closes the storage port 86, so that the card 28 cannot be seen from the outside of the housing 12 even if the card 28 is stored in the housing 12. . As a result, security can be improved (theft of the card 28 can be prevented), and design of the housing 12 and thus the vehicle inner mirror device 80 can be improved.
[0070]
In addition, in the said 1st Embodiment thru | or 3rd Embodiment, although the card | curd 28 was set as the thing for ETC, a card | curd (card material) may be what kind of thing, For example, it is good also as a structure which made the card | curd the card for various charges automatic payments (a prepaid card for a gas station, a parking lot, or a fast food store etc.).
