ANALYSIS SLIDE FEEDER

PURPOSE:To preserve an analysis slide stably preventing the infiltration of air and water, by a method wherein when an analysis slide pusher engages with a mating member of an outer cartridge case, the case is lifted to push a slide while the slide discharge port and the slide pushing lever insertion port are closed while the engagement is not effected. CONSTITUTION:As an analysis slide pusher 20 engages with a mating member 15 of an outer cartridge case 12, the case 12 is lifted by a lifting member 21 and a slide delivery port 13 and a slide pushing lever insertion port 14 are exposed. A slide pushing lever 22 also is advanced together with the member 21 and forced into an inner case 11 from the lever insertion port 14 to push a slide 30 out of the discharge port 13. Then, as a slide pusher 20 retracts, the lifting member 21 retreats and the outer case 12 lowers. At the same time, the lever 22 retracts and the slide delivery port 13 and the lever insertion port 14 are closed again with the lower part of the side wall of the outer case 12.
