From this state, the second support rod (19) is pushed forward to move as shown by the solid line in the figure. As shown, the upper piece (21) is brought into contact with the front surface of the main part (3). In this state, the second support rod (19) has a coil spring (22) and a first support rod (16) at approximately the middle part in the length direction.
) is urged downward by the second support rod (1
9) is maintained in the prone state, and a large space is created between the push plate (15) and the receiving rib (3), and the cutout part (3) is inserted into this space from the front of the storage case (1). ) is supplied with the card P.

Next, after storing the cards P in the main body part (4) in a sufficiently laminated manner, the opening/closing part (5) is raised and the knob (10) is rotated to lock the locking piece (11). Hole (1
2), close the cutout part (3), and, contrary to the above, pull the handle piece (20) toward you to change from the state shown by the solid line in Figure 7 to the state shown by the imaginary line in the same figure. , furthermore, the second support rod (1
9) stand up as shown by the imaginary line in FIG.

Then, as shown in Fig. 8, the upper piece (17) and the elongated hole (1
8), the second support rod (19) hangs down due to its own weight, and the coil spring (22) is housed between the push plate (15) and the receiving rib (2) due to the attachment of the coil spring (22). Card P is held.

FIG. 3 shows a state in which the cards P are stored in a stacked manner in the storage part A and the slide rod (40) in the dispensing part B is moved to the rearmost position. Drive motor (45) via control unit (64)
When rotates, it rotates via the reduction gear mechanism (48),
With each rotation, the driven rod (57) reciprocates back and forth once through engagement with the eccentric shaft (53), and also connects the fitting shaft (60) and the fitting hole (43). Through the engagement, the slide rod (20) also moves back and forth once in the front and back direction. That is, as shown by the solid line in FIG. 3, the slide rod (20) advances from the retracted state, and as a result of this advancement, the stepped portion (44) b formed on the extrusion piece (44) moves behind the lowest card P1. Hook the edge and press forward.

At this time, the card P1 does not float upward due to the formation of the inclined surface (44) a, and dust attached to the card, etc. falls into the groove (44) c, so that empty cards can be dispensed. There is no risk of malfunction. Even if the pushed out card P is pushed forward from Surin (36), and at this time the lowest card P and the cards immediately below it move forward due to electrostatic action, etc., the card is , the forward movement is blocked at the position of the slit (36).

Also, when the card P is pushed out, the opening/closing part (38)
is pressed by the leading edge of card P, and rotates outward;
When the card P is pulled out, it is restored and the slit (36) is closed again.

In addition, during the reciprocating process of the slide rod (40), the sphere (35) rolls along a concave groove (40)' extending in the longitudinal direction provided on the upper surface of the slide rod (40).

In the above, if the slide rod (40) simply reciprocates in a horizontal state, when the push-out piece (44) moves back, it will slide on the surface of the lowest card.
Not only is there a risk of damaging the card itself, but the surface of the extruded piece (44) may also wear out, resulting in a lack of durability and a risk of malfunction.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, when the slide rod (40) moves forward from the most retreated position to pay out cards, it reciprocates in a horizontal state, and when the slide rod (40) moves back and forth in a horizontal state, the slide rod (40) ) is pushed up slightly to form an inclined shape, and in this state, when it moves back and reaches the most retreated position, the front end is pushed down slightly to restore the slide rod (40) to a horizontal state. It has been configured to improve the familiarity described above.

That is, as shown in FIG. 11, when the slide rod (40) is in the most retracted position, the rear portion (40) b of the slide rod (40) is in contact with the spring piece (65), as shown in FIG. )
The first projecting piece (41) is pressed by the sliding groove (31).
It comes into contact with the inner surface of the upper side and becomes horizontal, and in this state, it moves forward together with the driven rod (57), and in this forward movement process, the first and second projecting pieces (41) and (42) respectively move into the sliding groove (31). ) to maintain a horizontal position, then slide the slide rod (40
) reaches the most advanced state, as shown by the solid line in FIG.
, the front end of the slide rod (40) slightly descends due to its own weight, and the first protrusion (41) comes out of the slide groove (31). Therefore, the slide rod (40) is tilted downward, and the first projecting piece (41) retreats while contacting the lower surface of the cover plate (26) as shown by the imaginary line in the figure. Therefore, as shown by the imaginary line in Figure 4, the extruded pieces (4
4) retreats away from the lowest card stored in the storage case (1), and when the slide lever (40) is sufficiently retreated, as shown by the solid line in Figure 11, The first projecting piece (41) is located at the second entrance/exit (32) b,
In addition, since the rear portion (40) b is pushed down by the spring piece (65), the slide rod (40) is restored to the horizontal state, and the first protruding piece (41) is moved toward the second entrance/exit (32).
b, and is located on the extension of the sliding groove (31), and in this state, the sliding rod (40) moves forward again in a horizontal state.

In addition, when repairing and inspecting the storage section A to the dispensing section B, by releasing the engagement between the engagement bottle (62) and the engagement piece (63), the dispensing section B and the dispensing section B can be Storage part A can be removed.

In this case, since the fitting shaft (60) escapes from the retaining hole (43), the slide rod (40) comes out from the guide hole (29) while handling the storage section A and the dispensing section B. Board (
However, according to this example, instead of the fitting shaft (60) coming off, the sphere (35) engages with the engagement hole (43), so the slide rod ( 40) is prevented from leaving.

Also, in the state shown in Fig. 5, the engaging pin (28) and the engaging claw (27
), the dispensing part B rotates downward about the shaft rod (8) as shown by the imaginary line in the figure.
