Abstract: In the case where the cabinet has many long segments, it takes a long period of time until they are cooled in a die. In addition, looseness was produced between the board and the guide rail due to a presence of pulling taper and this looseness became a cause of generating vibrating sound. There are constituted integral molded guide rails integrally molded with the casing to support the front end of the board when the board is stored in a casing along a predetermined wall surface, and a board holder constituted as a separate component from the integral molded guide rail, capable of sliding the board and inserting it. Accordingly, it is not necessary to oppositely face a long rail having the substantial same length as that of the board as the integral molded guide rail and so a speed in which the molded product is cooled in a die is made fast. Further, since the board holder is a separate component element, looseness between the board and the guide rail can be easily reduced.
