Abstract
An electronic component storing case capable of accommodating an electronic component includes a case member having an opening in its first end face, a shutter member which is arranged in the opening of the case member, pivotal outwardly to open/close the opening, and biased in a closing direction by a first resilient member, and a lever member which has a first end extending to an outside of the case member from at least its one side surface perpendicular to the first end face of the case member, and a second end which acts on the shutter member. The lever member converts an operating force to be applied to the first end into a biasing force for biasing the shutter member in an opening direction.
