[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to eliminate these drawbacks and to provide a CD which can always organize and store CDs smoothly and reliably.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, an intermediate plate is sandwiched between the left and right lid plates having a peripheral frame portion formed therein and a concave portion having an appropriate depth formed therein. Plates are provided with their base ends pivotally attached to the base ends of the lid plate materials, CDs are stored on both front and back surfaces of the storage plate material and the intermediate plate material, and CDs are stored on both front and back surfaces of the intermediate plate material and the storage plate material. The centers of the center holes of the CDs accommodated in the respective storage portions are located at positions mutually inconsistent with each other, and are also located at positions inconsistent with the centers of the center holes of the storage portions of the intermediate plate material and the storage plate material. .

[0007]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION In the case where predetermined CDs are respectively stored in a case (see FIGS. 1 to 7), an intermediate plate material is placed on the front face of the opening of the case to open the cover plate material in a closed state. Put your right thumb on one of the concave parts of the lid plate material to be installed on both the left and right sides, and put your left thumb on the protruding part of the convex part and pull it hard outward. Then, the square protrusion provided in the center of the inside of the front peripheral wall of the intermediate plate is released from being engaged with the inside central corner where the concave portion and the convex portion of the front surface of the lid plate intersect. It becomes open.

Therefore, the storage plate material stored in the concave portion of the cover plate material inside the case is gripped at the corners thereof and opened to fall to the opposite side. Thereafter, a CD is inserted in the direction of the resilient piece on the diagonal line from the finger hooking hole side obliquely upward from the center hole of the storage portion of the storage plate, and the resilient piece is pressed. Then, since the resilient piece is pressed by the CD via the projecting contact portions at both ends, if the fingertip pressed when the CD is sufficiently inserted into the storage portion of the storage plate material is released,
At this time, both projecting contact portions of the resilient pieces press the peripheral edge portion of the CD, and the upper surface portion is held down by the detent claws.

At the same time, the upper surface of the CD is restrained and held by the protruding claws provided at two places on the opposite side of the elastic piece. Therefore, the CD is fixed at a position slightly shifted from the center hole of the storage part to one side by the pressing force from the opposite sides.

[0010] Further, the CD is stored in the storage portion of the storage plate material while being kept slightly separated by a raised portion around the center hole.

Such a storage state of the CD is similarly performed in both the front and back storage portions of the storage plate material. That is, the elastic piece provided with the protruding contact portion and the depressing claw facing the peripheral wall of the storage portion, and the protruding claw provided with the protruding portion are provided at positions apart from each other in both the front and back storage portions. Are stored in the respective storage portions, the pressing forces applied to the peripheral portion of the CD act in different directions, and are fixed.

Thus, when CDs are stored in the storage portions on both front and back surfaces of each plate, the centers of the center holes of the CDs on the front and back surfaces are in the different directions by the thickness of each protrusion of the projection. Since they are pressurized and displaced, they are located at positions that do not match each other and do not match the centers of the center holes of the respective plate members.

Next, when taking out a CD from each of the storage portions on the front and back surfaces of each of the storage plate members, the CD placed on the storage surface of the storage plate member is inserted into the center hole and the finger hole obliquely above the storage hole. The fingertip is put and the peripheral edge of the CD is pressed from the finger hooking hole in the direction of the rebound one side.

Then, from the protruding claw adjacent to the finger hole, first, C
D is disengaged, and then the resilient pieces on the diagonal line are pressed and loosened, and both projecting contact portions are opened outward and disengaged from the detent claws. It comes off the peripheral wall.

Therefore, when the index finger is inserted into the center hole of the CD on the front side storage unit and the user attempts to lift it, even if the fingertip touches the center hole of the CD on the back side storage unit, both of them are touched. The positions of the center holes of the CDs are shifted from each other in advance, so that the fingertips do not accidentally hit the stop holes of the CDs on the back side, but only the center holes of the CDs on the front side and lift it. become able to.

The above is a description of the operation of accommodating and taking out the CD in the accommodating portion of the accommodating plate. However, since the accommodating portion of the intermediate plate interposed between the accommodating plate has the same configuration, the same is true. It works.

Even in the case of the file-type storage device (see FIG. 8), the structure of the storage portion of the storage plate is the same as that of the case-type storage device. What should I do?
