PURPOSE: To slide a guide plate and holder catchers by the support with pins at least at three points at the time of the cartridge carrying by using plural pins fixed on plural holders asymmetrically to the center line.
CONSTITUTION: The pins 2 and 4 on the back side of the holder 1 and the pins 3 and 5 on this side are respectively made asymmetrical to the center axis in the advancing direction and arranged at the positions where center axes of the pins are deviated in the back and forth direction. In this case, the pin 4 is moved to the space between the holder catcher 9 and the guide plate 8 during the holder 1 is carried, then the pin 4 becomes the uncontrolled state, but the pin 2 and the pin 3 are guided by the holder catcher 6 and the pin 5 is guided by the holder catcher 9 respectively, then a plane is formed by three pins by the three points support. Therefore, the distortion of the holder 1 in the vertical direction is not generated, and the dropping of the pin 4 into the space or hooking does not occur.
