[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 An object of the present invention is to provide a common storage case for a disk-shaped medium and a card-shaped medium.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, a storage case according to the present invention includes a main body for storing a medium, a lid that rotates and opens and closes with respect to the main body, and a medium hole that is fitted to a center hole of the medium to hold the medium. A storage portion provided at the center of the main body, and an outer peripheral rib provided on the main body so as to be located on the outer periphery of the disk-shaped medium. The outer peripheral rib is divided so that a non-disk-shaped medium can be stored, and one of the disk-shaped medium and the non-disk-shaped medium can be stored while being held by the center hole.

According to this storage case, the outer peripheral rib positioned on the outer periphery of the disk-shaped medium when the disk-shaped medium is stored is divided so that the outer peripheral rib can be stored when a non-disk-shaped medium such as a card-type medium is stored. Since this does not hinder the storage case, both the disk-shaped medium and the card-type medium can be stored in the storage case, and a storage case common to the disk-shaped medium and the card-type medium can be realized.

In addition, since the main body is provided with a restricting portion for restricting the position of the non-disk medium, the position can be restricted when a non-disk medium such as a card-type medium is stored. Positional displacement due to rotation or the like can be prevented. The restricting portion may be provided so as to be connected to the outer peripheral rib, or may be provided separately. In addition, a function related to the end of the outer circumferential rib may be provided.

It is preferable that the outer peripheral rib is divided so that the non-disk-shaped medium can be stored in the storage case in a different storage direction. For example, when the non-disk-shaped medium is a rectangular card-shaped medium, the outer peripheral ribs can be divided so that they can be stored vertically or horizontally with respect to the storage case.

Further, the disk-shaped medium may be a disk-shaped medium having a diameter of 8 cm, and the non-disk-shaped medium may be a card-shaped medium having an outer shape of 85.5 mm × 54 mm.
