ABSTRACT:
A chemical analysis element cartridge includes a box-like cartridge body in which a plurality of chemical analysis elements are stacked and are taken out through an element take-out port formed at one end of the cartridge body. A pressing member is slidably received in the cartridge body and is brought into contact with the stack of the elements on the side remote from the element take-out port to push the stack of the elements toward the element take-out port. The cartridge body is provided at least in one side wall thereof with a slit which extends in the direction of stack of the elements and the pressing member is provided with an external force receiving portion which is laterally interlocked with an urging member disposed outside the cartridge body through the slit and receives a force for urging the pressing member toward the element take-out port from the urging member. The pressing member is interlocked with an engagement member so that the pressing member and the engagement member are moved toward the element take-out port together with each other when the force from the urging member is acting on the pressing member and the engagement member permits the pressing member to be displaced away from the element take-out port relative to the engagement member when the force from the urging member is released.
