By the way, in order to attach the spring 10 to the support shaft 6c of the support lever 6b of the opening / closing panel 6, the spring 10 may be inserted into the support shaft 6c, but the opening / closing panel 6 is biased in the closing direction. Since it is necessary to set the spring 10, one end 10 a of the spring 10 must be hooked on the edge of the support lever 6 b and the other end 10 b should be in contact with the back surface of the front panel 6.

However, the spring 10 is inserted into the support shaft 6c, and one end 10a of the spring 10 is connected to the support lever 6
The spring 1 is hooked on the edge of b so that the opening / closing panel 6 can be always biased in the closing direction.
The other end 10b of the spring 10 must be brought into contact with the back surface of the front panel 3a in a state in which the spring 10 is twisted.
Even if 0a rotates around the support shaft 6c of the support lever 6b, or even if one end 10a is caught by the edge of the support lever 6b, the spring 10 may rotate again to some extent when the spring 10 is attached. There arises a problem that the attaching operation of the spring 10 is troublesome.

Further, the positioning of the opening / closing panel 6 with respect to the front panel 3a is performed by simply bringing the supporting shaft 6d of the other supporting lever 6b of the opening / closing panel 6 into contact with the positioning rib 11 before attaching the spring 10 to the front panel 3a. Since positioning is performed with respect to 3a,
When a force is applied in the direction in which the spring 10 is compressed (when the open / close panel 6 is pushed in the direction toward the spring 10), the position of the open / close panel 6 may be shifted, and the positioning accuracy of the open / close panel 6 is poor. The problem also arises.

In the prior art disclosed in Patent Document 2, a door rotating shaft holding portion provided in advance on the front panel is biased by an eccentric spring holding shaft so that the door is closed by the twisting restoring force. Inserting the holding parts protruding at both ends of the door made of elastic material that is made into a subunit by the spring for opening and closing the door opening and closing, and inserting the door shaft into the bearing part while elastically deforming the door However, the mounting position of the spring is different from the mounting position of the spring shown in FIG. 6, and this spring is not involved in the positioning of the door.

The prior art of Patent Document 3 relates to a shutter device that opens and closes a panel opening for inserting a magnetic tape, and is different from the structure of an open / close panel that is opened when a disk is inserted.

In the prior art of Patent Document 4, a torsion spring that urges the door in the closing direction is inserted into one of the rotating shafts of the door, but the work of hooking one end of the torsion spring to a predetermined position of the door is skillful. In short, there is a problem that the work of attaching the spring is troublesome.
