The same reference numerals are used for the same or equivalent parts, and the explanation thereof will be omitted. In each figure, reference numeral 13 denotes a rectangular upper lid made of transparent and rigid resin, and one longitudinal end of the upper lid has a protruding portion 13a having a step a with respect to the upper surface as shown in FIG.
On the back side, curved notches 13b are formed symmetrically on both side walls in the vicinity of the protrusion 13a. The length of the upper cover 13 is shorter than that of the conventional protective sheet 12 by approximately the length of the tongue piece 1b. In the longitudinal direction - on the side side, there is a fourth
As shown in the figure, the upper part of the upper case 1 has a thickness a, and the tongue piece 1c that protrudes toward the center of the recess and the bottom surface 14a of the recess start from a position that approximately corresponds to the notch retaining part 13b of the upper lid 13 to the side wall of the recess. Inclined part 1 that slopes in such a way that it becomes deep and low in the direction
4b are provided, and these form an insertion/retention portion 15a. The bottom surface 14a of the concave portion on the opposite side is flat, and together with the tongue piece 1b, an insertion/retention portion 15b for only the subscriber name entry card 8 is formed. On the other hand, on both sides of the widthwise walls of the recess 14, a gap b (as shown in FIG. ), and the upper lid 1
A top lid support portion 16 is provided which fits into the notch engaging portion 13b of No. 3. Further, on both widthwise walls on the opposite side of the inclined portion 14b, the upper lid 13 is provided as a locking member for the upper lid 13.
