[Explanation based on examples]

Hereinafter, an apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

The box-shaped housing 100 accommodates a desired number of sliding members 102 of carrier parts, for example for one video camera h104. The front surface of the housing 100 is surrounded by a frame 106, and each compartment is provided with a pair of doors.

The housing 100 is attached to the ceiling wall 112 of the housing.
There is a rib 110 integrally formed with each cassette 1.
A small room is divided to store 04.

The bottom wall 116 of the housing 100 has ribs 114 corresponding to those mentioned above, which protrude upward. Lower rib 114
do not extend to the opening in the front face of housing 100, so the upwardly facing surfaces of each lateral rib 118 are free to interlock. This surface has several holes and the door part 1
It functions as a bearing for the lower pivot bin 120 of 08.

The door section 108 has a corresponding pivot pin 122 at a first end, which pin 122 is received in a U-shaped quad 124 at the front end of the ceiling wall 112 and is assembled after the door section 108 is inserted. It is covered by a frame 106.

Ribs 110, 114 and 118 are connected to the housing 100.
