Description

  The present invention relates to a crime prevention case that houses a card-type storage medium in addition to a disk-shaped storage medium.

  Conventionally, a CD player is used as a device for reproducing music, and a DVD player is known as a device for reproducing video. As a compact device for a CD player, Walkman (registered trademark) configured to be portable is being sold. On the other hand, a DVD that stores video can be played back using a personal computer in addition to a DVD player that is connected to a television for playback.

  By the way, there are cases where a disc-shaped storage medium such as a CD or DVD is purchased, but it is often borrowed temporarily at a rental shop. Rather, it is more convenient to rent when listening to various music or watching various movies. In Japan, there are many rental shops such as CDs and DVDs.

  CDs and DVDs generally have an outer diameter of 120 mm, and a device that reproduces them needs to be large enough to accommodate a CD or DVD, and often feels inconvenient to carry. In addition, in order to reproduce CDs and DVDs, a drive motor for rotating the CDs and DVDs and a pickup mechanism for irradiating and reading the light are necessary, and the outer size increases and the cost also increases. In recent years, a playback device called “Ipod” (registered trademark) has been used, and this device can be put in a chest pocket of clothes and listen to music with earphones, or watch images from the display surface of palm-sized devices. I can do it.

  The storage card set in this playback device is very small compared to CD and DVD, but the storage capacity is very large. The reproduction means is not limited to an “ipod”, and the video can be viewed by inserting the card into a personal computer, or can be displayed on a television screen.

  Recently, it has been demanded to rent a small card-type storage medium in the same manner as in the case of CDs and DVDs. However, it is easy to be stolen because of its small size, and therefore anti-theft measures become more important. In the case of CDs and DVDs, a lock plate is inserted so that the rental case will not open, and a tag seal is attached to the lock plate, so if you take it out of the store without removing the lock plate, The gate reacts to sound an alarm.

Regarding a conventional lending case for CDs and DVDs with an anti-theft function, “DVD lending case with an anti-theft function” according to Japanese Patent No. 3459997,
It is clear when referring to “a rental case and unlocking tool for DVDs or the like having a theft prevention function” according to Japanese Patent No. 3978686. However, there is a risk that a small one such as a card type storage medium may be stolen by opening the case, and a security structure similar to that of a CD or DVD is not sufficient.

The “memory card storage body” according to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-241581 is a memory card storage body that is less likely to be lost when storing a small SD memory card, a memory card for PlayStation 2, and the like. In order to fit the SD memory card into the board body from one side of the board body, a hole having a shape matching the outer shape of the SD memory card is formed. However, when considering theft prevention, such a memory card case cannot be displayed as a rental case in a store.
"DVD rental case with anti-theft function" according to Japanese Patent No. 3459997 “Lending case and unlocking device for DVDs etc. with anti-theft function” according to Japanese Patent No. 3978686 "Memory card storage body" disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-241581

  As described above, there is a problem as described above in which the card-type storage medium is accommodated in the rental case and lent out.

The security case for the storage medium can be used for lending or for sale.

  The security case for a storage medium according to the present invention is configured so that both a card-type storage medium and a disk-shaped storage medium can be accommodated. Here, the card-type storage medium is a card (chip) in which music or video is stored, and the specific storage content is not limited. The shape of the card is a thin plate, but the specific shape and size are not limited.

  The disc-shaped storage medium is attached with a central hole fitted in a chin provided at the center of the main body, as in the case of the conventional case. Or it may be attached so as to position the outer periphery of the disk-shaped storage medium. The card-type storage medium is attached around the disk-shaped storage medium attached to the main body, such as at the corner of the case. That is, an attachment portion for a card type storage medium is provided at the corner portion or the like. However, since the card-type storage medium is small, there is a possibility that the card-type storage medium may be stolen from the gap of the crime prevention case.

Since there are various mounting structures to prevent removal, the specific structure is not limited,
Both sides of the card-type storage medium are sandwiched, and a stopper is provided at the end of the side plate. When the lid is closed, the mounting structure is configured to restrain the six faces against the edge of the main body. It can also be attached to the lower side or the upper side of the disk-shaped storage medium. That is, the attachment portion is provided in a gap formed between the bottom of the main body and the disk-shaped storage medium, or a gap formed between the lid and the disk-shaped storage medium. On the other hand, a cover may be attached to the attachment portion as necessary.

Yes. The security case for a storage medium is a case having a thin quadrangle, and a navel 5 is provided at the center of the main body 1 so as to protrude from the bottom, and the center hole of the disc-shaped recording medium 6 is fitted to the navel 5 and attached. It is done. Further, the edges 7, 7... Stand on the side of the rectangular main body 1, and the edges 8, 8,.

The portion into which the lock plate 4 is inserted does not have the edges 7 and 8, and an insertion port for the lock plate 4 is formed when the lid 2 is closed. In this way, the disc-shaped recording medium 6 fitted and attached to the navel 5 is pulled out by raising the edges 7, 7, 8, 8,... On the sides of the main body 1 and the lid body 2. There is no. The prevention of theft of the disk-shaped recording medium 6 is conventional, and the lid 2 cannot be opened unless the lock plate 4 is unlocked and removed.
Therefore, if the storage medium case is taken out of the store without unlocking the lock plate 4, an alarm sound is generated in response to the gate installed at the entrance of the store. To do. Therefore, when renting the disk-shaped storage medium 6 and the card-type storage medium 9, the security case can be taken out by removing the lock plate 4 to which the tag seal 15 is attached.

  By the way, in addition to the disk-shaped storage medium 6, a card-type storage medium 9 is attached to the security case for the storage medium of the present invention. The card-type storage medium 9 stores almost the same contents as the disk-shaped storage medium, and can be selectively used depending on the customer's selection. If it is a personal computer, it can be set and played back with either the disk-shaped storage medium 6 or the card-type storage medium 9, but there is also a playback device that can use only one of the storage media.

  For example, in the case of an ipod that is popular among recent young people, only the card-type storage medium 9 can be used. Further, a card-type storage medium 6 cannot be used in a storage medium playback device (DVD player) such as a DVD at home. Therefore, in the present invention, two types of storage media (disc-shaped storage medium 6 and card-type storage medium 9) storing the same information (storage contents) are accommodated in the same case for the benefit of the customer.

  By the way, the security case for a storage medium of the present invention has an attachment structure in which this small card type storage medium 9 is not stolen. In the crime prevention case shown in FIG. 2, an attachment portion 10 is provided on the opening / closing axis side of the lid 2, and the card type storage medium 9 is attached to the attachment portion 10. FIG. 3 is an enlarged view showing the mounting portion 10 of the card type storage medium 9. The mounting portion 10 is provided with support portions 12 and 12 on both side plates 11 and 11 which face each other at a predetermined distance, and guide pieces 13 and 13 project inwardly at the upper ends of the side plates 11 and 11. Yes.

  The card-type storage medium 9 is a substantially rectangular thin plate-like body. The card-type storage medium 9 is attached by being sandwiched between the support portions 12 and 12 provided on the both side plates 11 and 11 and the guide pieces 13 and 13. It is done. Here, the side plates 11 and 11 are provided in parallel with the edge 8 of the lid 2, and when the lid 2 is closed, the card-type storage medium 9 attached to the attachment portion 10 provided inside the edge 8 is removed. I can't do that. However, when the lid 2 is opened, the card-type storage medium 9 placed on both the support parts 12 and 12 has a space between the main body 1 and a finger can be put into this space and easily pulled out to the opening / closing axis side. I can take it.

  That is, when the lid 2 is opened as shown in FIG. 3, the lid 2 is slid along the side plates 11 and 11 in the direction of the opening / closing axis, but if the lid 2 is closed, it is provided on the opening / closing axis side of the main body 1. The peripheral edge 7 becomes a stopper and is closed by the edge 7. In addition, stoppers 14 and 14 are provided at the front ends of the side plates 11 and 11 so as to protrude inward so that they cannot be pulled out to the opposite side of the open / close shaft 3. FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of the mounting portion 10 in a state in which the lid 2 is closed as seen from the side.

  As can be seen from the figure, when the lid 2 is closed, the card-type storage medium 9 is sandwiched between the side plates 11 and 11 and the stopper 14 and the edge 7 so that it can be pulled out from any direction. Disappear. That is, the four sides are restrained and fixed by the side plates 11 and 11, the stoppers 14 and 14 and the edge 7. FIGS. 5A and 5B show the case where the card-type storage medium 9 is inserted and removed. Thus, the card-type storage medium 9 can be pulled out to the opening / closing axis side and taken out. On the other hand, when the card-type storage medium 9 is attached to the attachment portion 10, the card-type storage medium 9 is inserted from the opening / closing axis side with the lid 2 opened.

  On the other hand, the card-type storage medium 9 can be provided not only in the case where the attachment part 10 is provided at each corner of the case where the disk-like storage medium 6 does not exist, but also in the lower part of the disk-like storage medium 6. That is, the attachment portion can be provided by utilizing a gap formed between the main body 1 and the disk-shaped storage medium 6. Moreover, it is also possible to provide an attachment part using the clearance gap formed between the cover body 2 and the disk shaped storage medium 6. FIG. Accordingly, it is impossible to remove the card-type storage medium 9 unless the disk-shaped storage medium 6 is removed, or unless the lock plate 4 is removed and the lid 2 is opened.

  FIG. 6 shows an embodiment in which a cover is provided on the mounting portion of the card type storage medium 9. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a main body to which a disk-shaped storage medium 6 is attached, 2 denotes a lid, 3 denotes an opening / closing shaft of the lid 2, 9 denotes a card-type storage medium, and 16 denotes a cover. That is, the mounting portion 17 shown in the figure has both side plates as in the case of the above embodiment, and the side plates are provided with support portions 18 rising from the bottom of the main body. Therefore, the card-type storage medium 9 is placed on the support portion 18 and sandwiched between both side plates, and further covered with the cover 16.

The cover 16 has a structure that can be opened and closed by swinging about an axis, and the cover 16 has a box shape and has ribs 19 upright around it. Therefore, if the cover 16 is closed, the upper surface and the periphery of the attachment portion 17 to which the card type storage medium 9 is attached are also covered. Then, the lid 2 is closed to form a double cover structure as shown in FIG. That is, the cover 16 cannot be opened unless the lid 2 is opened.
However, in the present invention, as shown in the figure, it can be opened and closed around the shaft, but it can also be configured as a removable cover. FIG. 7 shows a case where the cover 16 is opened and the card type storage medium 9 is taken out. The card-type storage medium 9 is placed on the support portion 18 of the mounting portion 17, but as shown in FIG. 5A, if the cover 16 is opened, the tip of the shaft-side rib 19 hits the bottom surface of the card-type storage medium 9.

  When the cover 16 is further opened, the rib 19 can be tilted by lifting one end of the card type storage medium 9 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the small card type storage medium 9 placed on the support portion 18 of the attachment portion 17 can be easily picked and taken out. Since the stopper 14 is provided at the tip of the side plate of the mounting portion 17, the inclined card type storage medium 9 does not slide down from the support portion 18.

  On the other hand, the mounting surface of the support portion 20 of the mounting portion 17 shown in FIG. That is, the card type storage medium 9 is attached to the attachment portion 17 in an inclined state. Therefore, if the cover 16 is opened, the rib 19 hits the tip portion protruding from the support portion 20 to lift the tip portion of the card type storage medium 9, and the small card type storage medium 9 can be easily taken out from the mounting portion 17. Also in this case, a stopper 14 is provided at the front end of the support portion so that the inclined card type storage medium 9 does not slide down from the support portion 20.
