Abstract
According to this invention, when a user presses a manipulation part, a slider is pressed to a cardholder integrated with the manipulation part to move against a spring force of coil springs, which releases engagement of a protruding part at a center of a heart-shaped cam with a pin. When the manipulation part is released from being pressed, the cardholder is pushed out by the coil springs through the slider, and the manipulation part protrudes from a surface of an instrument panel. When the user holds the manipulation part to pull it out, a force acts on second pawls from first pawls through slant faces, which bends rods to release engagement of the first pawls with the second pawls.
