In the present invention, since the space S is not formed between the front wall of the lower housing and the safe as in the case of the conventional example of FIG. 7, when the rear surface type is manufactured, The amount of protrusion to the rear is eliminated, and the rear surface type can be incorporated even though it has the housing structure shown in FIG. 1. The reason is that the storage path 4 is directly provided from the branch portion 29 of the upper housing 20.
This is because the storage path 40 hangs from the front surface of the drum 32, and therefore the storage path 40 can be arranged in the central portion of the lower housing 21 in the front-rear direction. That is, according to this configuration, the storage path 40 and the branching section 29 are not directly connected, and the holding section centering on the drum 32 is interposed between them, so that the storage path 40 and the holding section 31 are separated from each other. It is relatively easy to adjust the position of the connection part,
As a result, it becomes easy to arrange the storage path 40 in the central portion as shown.
