That is, the link member 22 is pushed in the direction of the arrow by the door, and since the link member 22 pushes the link member 23 in the direction of the arrow, the link member 23 slides upward by the guides of the elongated holes 23a, 23b and the posts 29a, 29b. The link member 24 also moves upward together with the link member 23 as indicated by the arrow.

Since one end of the link member 25 is pushed upward by the movement of the link member 24, the link member 25 rotates in the direction of the arrow about the shaft 30a as a fulcrum and pushes the link member 26, whereby the link member 26 becomes the elongated hole 26a. It slides in the arrow direction by the guide of the posts 31a and 31b.

As a result, the cam lever 21 rotates in the direction of arrow B as shown in FIG. 2 (c), the cam portion 21a becomes parallel to the connector board 8b, and the pressing of the back surface of the movable member 20 is released.

As a result, the convex portion of each pair of contacts 8a pushes back the movable member 20 to its original position, and the tip of each contact 8a is closed, and the contact portions of the contacts 8a come into contact with the terminal portions 19 of the connection substrate 19, respectively.
And the device body 1 are electrically connected, and the mounting is completed.

Even when removing the batch cassette 10 from the device body 1, the door 9
When the opening is opened, each contact 8a pair of the connector 8 is opened and separated from the terminal portion 19 of the connecting board 19 as described above. Therefore, when the collective cassette 10 is removed, the connecting board 19 is inserted into the board insertion hole 8d of the case 8c. When it is pulled out, the terminal portions 19a of the connection board 19 do not come into contact with and slide against the contacts 8a.
