Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a case configured to house a plurality of so-called compact disks, which are storage media objects, in parallel.

(Prior art) In recent years, so-called compact disks, which are one type of storage media, have been sold in flat individual cases, but several of them are stored in parallel for organization and storage. A foldable case that is easy to take out and convenient to carry has not appeared since the disk has just been on the market.

On the other hand, multiple cassette tapes can be stored in parallel for organization and storage, making them easy to take out when needed.
Furthermore, there are examples of foldable cases that are conveniently constructed for carrying.
It was proposed in Utility Model Application No. 58-39784.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, even if the cassette storage case is formed to a size that can accommodate the compact disk, it is not suitable for storing the compact disk. The reasons for this include the following. In other words, the cassette tape is
They are housed in a hard synthetic resin case that forms the outer shell, and are much smaller than the compact disks, so even if they are laid down in the cassette tape storage case, they can be easily stood up and lined up. Although they are compact, they are much larger and thinner than cassette cases, so they are easy to lay down in a parallel state, or difficult to stand up in parallel. Furthermore, the cassette tape storage case has a lid plate that opens the top surface to allow the cassette tape to be put in and taken out, but since the entire surface is made of an opaque plate, unless it is opened like that, there is no way to store the cassette tape. It is not possible to see from the outside whether such cassette tapes are stored, and therefore it is not possible to organize and store them like books arranged upright on a shelf or table. Since it is small and protected by its outer case, there is no particular inconvenience or problem even if it cannot be organized and stored like that.
As mentioned above, the compact disk is large and thin, so if it is organized and stored in this way, the user can handle it more carefully, and it also prevents it from being damaged by the load or collision with other equipment. can be prevented.

(Means for Solving the Problems, Embodiments) The object of the present invention is to provide a case suitable for storing the compact disk while utilizing the advantages of the known cassette tape storage case.

The present invention for achieving the above object will be described below based on the illustrated embodiments.

In FIG. 1, the case basically consists of a first component 7 and a second component 11. As shown in FIG. The first component 7 is formed by bending the outer top plate 1, the transparent front plate 2, the intermediate plate 3, the bottom plate 4, the back plate 5, and the inner top plate 6 sequentially from one end to the other end via the partition line a. They are formed in such a way that they can be connected. Second component 1
1 is the left and right side plates 8, which are the same height as the back plate 5 and have a width equal to the depth of the bottom plate 4 plus the depth of the intermediate plate 3;
The lower ends of the left and right side plates 8 and 9 are joined to the opposite ends of the bottom plate 4 in a bendable manner, and the upper ends of the left and right side plates 8 and 9 are connected by a flexible connecting piece 10, leaving only their front ends, so that the front and back sides are open. It is formed into a frame shape.

A shape-retaining plate 12 having approximately the same width as that between the left and right side plates 8 and 9 is bendably joined to the inner surface of the internal top plate 6. The inner surface of the outer upper surface plate 1 and the outer surface of the inner upper surface plate 6 are provided with fasteners 13a and 13b consisting of hooks.
In addition, there is a handle 1 in the center of the outer surface of the inner top plate 6.
4 are attached respectively, and the handle 14 is made to be able to be raised and lowered. A partition plate 15 is bendably joined between the bottom plate 4 and the flexible connecting piece 10. The shape-retaining plate 12 is provided with a notch 16 for holding the partition plate 15 therebetween. A gripping portion 17 is provided at the lower end of the shape-retaining plate 12.
is installed protrudingly. A window hole 18 for inserting the handle 14 is provided in the center of the external top plate 1.

Note that each of the face plates 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, except for the transparent front plate 2 and the flexible connecting piece 10,
9 and 15 are formed by covering both sides of a rigid core plate such as cardboard with heat-fusible synthetic resin sheets such as vinyl chloride, and the connections or joints and side edges of each face plate are welded. The transparent front plate 2 is made of the synthetic resin which is a rigid single plate, and the flexible connecting piece 10 is made of the synthetic resin which is flexible.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the case of the present invention having the above-mentioned configuration has a frame-shaped second component 11 kept in a rectangular shape, and a flexible connecting piece 1
The front surface is opened by bringing the inner surface of the inner top plate 6 into contact with the outer surface of 0, bending the shape retaining plate 12 inward, inserting the notch 16 into the partition plate 15, and holding the flexible connecting piece 10. Compact disks (not shown) are housed in the case in an upright and parallel manner, and then the transparent front plate 2 is brought into contact with the front ends of the left and right side plates 8 and 9 to cover the open surface. By inserting the handle 14 through the window hole 18 and engaging the locking tools 13a and 13b, the external top plate 1 is superimposed and fixed on the internal top plate 6, and thus assembled. In addition, in order to fold the assembled case of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the engaged locking tools 13a and 13b are released from each other, and the frame-shaped second component 11 is folded together. Push it to the side to make it flat,
A back plate 5 and an internal top plate 6 are folded on the upper surface thereof, and an outer top plate 1 and a transparent front plate 2 are further folded on the upper surface thereof, and locking members 13a and 13b are engaged with each other.

In the case of the present invention, the whole can be folded flat, and the shape-retaining plate 12 allows the frame-shaped second case to be folded flat.
In that the component 11 can be kept in a rectangular shape and can be prevented from being flattened, etc.
In addition to having the advantages of the known cassette tape storage case, it also has the following effects.

The frame-shaped second constituent member 11 is formed into a rectangular shape.
In addition to having a partition plate 15 provided inside,
Since the partition plate 15 is held between the notches 16 of the shape-retaining plate 12, its rectangular shape and the assembled state of the entire case are strong, and even if a small number of compact disks are stored inside, it will not fall over. There's nothing to do. In addition, the front panel 2 is transparent, so if you point the display section of the recorded information of the separate case of the compact disk toward the front side, you can easily see through it from the outside and see what kind of compact disk is stored inside. Moreover, it has a good appearance as if the books were stored in a case with a glass window, so they can be placed on a bookshelf, table, etc. to be carefully organized and stored.

Further, when the gripping portion 17 is provided at the lower end of the shape-retaining plate 12, the shape-retaining plate 12 can be easily separated from the frame-shaped second component 11 when the assembled case of the present invention is folded flat. Incidentally, since the case of the present invention is deeper than a storage case for cassette tapes, the detachment operation is not easy.
