Abstract
A removable component is inserted into the receptacle provided in a housing, through an inlet port provided in the outer surface of the housing. A first lock member is provided in the housing and can move between a first lock position and a first release position. At the first lock position, the first lock member holds the removable component. At the first release position, the first lock member releases the movable component. A second lock member is provided in the housing and can move, by its weight, between the second lock position and the second release position. At the second lock position, the second lock member holds the first lock member at the first lock position. At the second release position, the second lock member is released from the second lock position.
