Abstract: The first concept provides a dealing board which has a control panel slanted forward and a front face slanted rearward and downward. 
     The second concept provides a dealing board having a main body which body contains a set of print substrates arranged in parallel with the bottom face of the main body and the control panel. 
     The third phase provides a dealing board having a fixing member for fixing the main body to the desk, which fixing member being slanted so as to make the slanting angle of the control panel adjustable. 
     The fourth phase provides a dealing board which has a dealing board control mechanism. The control mechanism has a plurality of key units and a panel unit. The panel unit has a switch mechanism consisting of contacts formed on the print substrate and conductive contact rubbers for making these contacts turned ON-OFF, and display elements installed corresponding to respective contacts. Chip elements are installed between the lower face of the key case and the print substrate. 
     According to the fifth phase, on the face opposite to the face having contacts of the print substrate pack IC parts functioning integration of a number of matrix information of the switch mechanism and the display elements and enabling to be mounted on flat surface. IC parts for controlling the information are divided and mounted on other print substrate. 
     According to the sixth phase, the dealing board has a multi-telephoning function which functions being united and each unit is panellarized and a number of the panels being installed in the case. A dent having a top face open between each panel and the case fixed slantly so as to slant forward is formed on the top face of the case. The panels are inserted through an opening of the dent from above and secured by screws. 
     According to the seventh phase, in the dealing board of the sixth phase, the opening of the dent is closed by a removable cover. 
     According to the eighth phase, in the dealing board of the seventh phase, a sucking member made of magnetic member is applied to the cover and the cover is sucked or attracted to the magnet at the case. 
     According to the ninth phase, in the dealing board of the seventh phase, the cover is made of elastic material. 
     According to the tenth phase, in the dealing board of the seventh phase, the cover has a protruded portion protruded upward from the top face of the panel. 
     According to the eleventh phase, the plural panel units have engagement pieces formed at both ends of the unit. One of the engagement piece is engaged with one end portion of the opening open at the top face of the dealing board main body, and the other is inserted through a gap formed at one end side of the fixing device. Another end side of the fixing device is removably secured to a screen board placed near the opening of the dealing board main body by means of set-screws. 
     The twelveth concept provides a cover for covering a card insertion slot of a reader-writer for reading and writing information on the memory card and a card insertion slot itself. A fixing portion for fixing the cover to the main body, a hinge portion of a fulcrum of opening and closing the cover, and a holding mechanism for holding the cover in its erected position after it is erected on the hinge are mounted on one end portion of the cover. An elastic engagement portion adapted to be removably engaged with an engagement hole formed in the dealing board main body is installed on the other end portion of the cover.
