And a stopper portion 18 that is engaged with the end edge of the medium 30.

  The stopper portion 18 is formed slightly higher than the thickness dimension of the small storage medium 30 placed on the shelf 17 so that the upper edge protrudes slightly from the upper surface of the small storage medium 30. It is configured (see FIG. 5).

  The case element 3 has at least a small storage medium 30 standing on the inner surface of the canopy 3a and placed on the plate-like body 11 constituting the small article delivery means 10. A pair of guide ribs 19 are provided that can be engaged with and held by side edges in a direction orthogonal to the moving direction of the plate-like body 11.

  The guide rib 19 is formed so that the upper end edge thereof is substantially flush with the upper edge of the stopper portion 18 of the plate-like body 11.

  A guide rail mechanism 20 is integrally formed on the lower surface of the plate-like body 11 and the inner surface of the canopy 3a of the case element 3 so as to engage with each other and guide the movement of the plate-like body 11 in one direction. ing.

  The guide rail mechanism 20 includes a rail portion 20a integrally formed on one of the canopy portion 3a and the plate-like body 11, and a guide protrusion 20b integrally formed on the other, and both of them can slide relative to each other, for example. The dovetail groove is engaged with each other to have a function of preventing the plate-like body 11 from coming off (see FIG. 1).

  Here, in the present embodiment, the shelf 17 and the stopper 18 of the plate-like body 11 are arranged in such a manner that small storage media 30A, 30B, and 30C having different outer diameters and different sizes can be placed thereon. From the front end side of the body 11, it is formed in multiple stages by changing from 17A, 18A, 17B, 18B, 17C, 18C in steps from small size to large size.

  Accordingly, guide ribs 19A, 19B, and 19C for small storage media 30A, 30B, and 30C having different outer diameter sizes are formed in this order in the radial direction, that is, outside the guide rib 19A for a small size. A medium-sized guide rib 19B is formed in the radial direction, and a large-sized guide rib 19C is formed in this order on the outside of the medium-sized guide rib 19B.

  The rear ends of the guide ribs 19A, 19B, 19C are each bent inward so that they can be locked to the rear ends of the corresponding small storage media 30A, 30B, 30C.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the guide rail mechanism 20 has, for example, a pair of guide ribs whose rail portions 20a are the innermost by forming the stepped multi-stage plate 11 and the radial multi-stage configuration of the guide ribs 19 as described above. The guide projection 20b is integrally projected on the lower surface of the lowermost shelf portion 17A of the plate-like body 11 so as to project integrally with the inner surface of the canopy portion 3a at the center position between 19A.

  In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 21 denotes a lock which is provided between the sliding contact surfaces on the free ends of the peripheral walls 2b and 3b of the case elements 2 and 3, and is elastically concavo-convexly engaged so as to be detachable. Reference numerals 22 and 22 denote projecting pieces for finger-hanging at the time of opening, which are extended from the side portions on the free end side of the canopy portions 2a and 3a of the case elements 2 and 3, respectively.

  With the configuration of the above embodiment, the small-sized small-sized storage medium 30A is inscribed between the pair of small-sized guide ribs 19A as shown in FIG. Placed on the surface of the portion 17A.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, the medium-sized small-sized storage medium 30B is inscribed between the pair of medium-sized guide ribs 19B and is placed on the surface of the middle shelf portion 17B of the plate-like body 11 and for the small-sized medium. It is placed across the upper end surfaces of the pair of guide ribs 19A.

  As shown in FIG. 3C, the large-sized small-sized storage medium 30C is inscribed between a pair of large-sized guide ribs 19C and is used on the uppermost shelf 17C surface of the plate-like body 11 and for the medium-sized medium. The pair of guide ribs 19B are placed across the upper end surfaces.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, the upper end surface of the small-sized guide rib 19A also serves as a sliding guide for the medium-sized small-sized storage medium 30B, and the upper end surface of the medium-sized guide rib 19B slides on the large-sized small-sized storage medium 30C. Also serves as a motion guide.

  Each of the small storage media 30A, 30B, and 30C is inscribed in a pair of corresponding guide ribs 19A, 19B, and 19C, so that the small storage media 30A, 30B, and 30C move on the surface of the shelf portion 17 of the plate-like body 11 by mutual friction. It is securely held.

  If the case elements 2 and 3 are closed in a state where the small storage medium 30 is held by the pair of guide ribs 19 and the shelf portion 17 of the plate-like body 11 as described above, the carry-out port 6 is closed by the lid 7, and the case element The two cutout windows 5 and the cutout portion 3C of the case element 3 are closed by the connecting pieces 13 and 14 and the push operation portion 16 of the plate-like body 11 connected thereto.

  Therefore, it is possible to protect the small storage medium 30 stored in the storage case 1 from adhesion of dust or the like, impact, external pressure, and the like.

  Since the lid 7 of the case element 2 is in a recessed position in the recessed portion 2A, it is not caught by clothes or the like when the storage case 1 is carried or the like and is not moved open.

  Further, when the lid 7 is closed and locked by the claw portion 9, the pushing of the plate-like body 11 is restrained by the lid 7, so that the plate-like body 11 is carried when the storage case 1 is carried. As long as a slight external pressure is applied to the pushing operation portion 16 in the pushing direction, the lid 7 is unlocked and the plate-like body 11 does not move in the feeding direction.

  When the small storage medium 30 stored in the storage case 1 is taken out, first, with the case elements 2 and 3 closed, a fingernail is applied to the free end of the lid 7 in the recess 2A of the case element 2. If it pulls up outside, the nail | claw part 9 of the both ends will remove | deviate from the both-sides edge of the notch 6a.

  Therefore, if the pressing operation portion 16 of the plate-like body 11 exposed in the cutout window 5 of the case element 2 is lightly pressed in the feeding direction by the belly of the finger, the connecting pieces 14 constituting the hinge portion 12 that can bend and extend, 4 is extended from the state shown in FIG. 4A to the state shown in FIG. 5B so as to be lifted from the side edge of the canopy 3a of the case element 3, so that the plate-like body 11 extends in the small article delivery direction. Moving.

  At this time, the plate-like body 11 smoothly translates in the small article delivery direction by the extension operation of the connecting pieces 14 and 15 and the guide action of the guide rail mechanism 20.

  As a result, the small storage medium 30 is carried out of the storage case 1 by sliding the inner side surfaces of the pair of guide ribs 19 so that the lid 7 is bounced off from the carry-out port 6 of the storage case 1. It can be easily removed with a fingertip.

  According to the storage case 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above, the small storage medium 30 that is a plate-shaped small article is placed on the small article delivery means 10, and both side edges thereof are paired with the guide ribs 19. It can be securely held and stored in the storage case 1 in a sandwiched state.

  When the small storage medium 30 is taken out, the small storage medium 30 can be moved by one-touch operation to push the small article delivery means 10 in one direction from the outside of the storage case 1 without opening the case elements 2 and 3 one by one. Can be taken out of the case from the carry-out port 6 of the storage case 1, so that it can be easily taken out with a fingertip and convenience can be improved.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the small article delivery means 10 is connected to the one side edge of the canopy 3a of the case element 3 via a hinge part 12 that can be bent and stretched, and includes a plurality of connecting pieces 13 and 14. Therefore, it can be molded integrally with the case elements 2 and 3 in a developed state, and it can be advantageously obtained in terms of cost.

  Moreover, when the plate-like body 11 is pushed, the plate-like body 11 can be moved in parallel with the canopy portion 3a of the case element 3 by the bending and stretching action of the connecting pieces 13 and 14 of the hinge portion 12. Smooth feeding can be performed in a state where the holding posture of the small storage medium 30 is maintained.

  Further, the stopper 18 formed at the rear end of the shelf 17 of the plate-like body 11 is formed higher than the thickness dimension of the small storage medium 30, so that the plate-like body 11 is translated. In combination with this, the small storage medium 30 can be reliably sent out toward the carry-out port 6.

  Furthermore, since this plate-like body 11 is guided to move by the guide rail mechanism 20 and is prevented from coming off with respect to the canopy 3a, the feeding movement can be performed more smoothly and stably. Can do.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the shelf 17 of the plate-like body 11 and the stopper 18 rising at the rear end thereof are used for the small storage media 30A, 30B, 30C having different outer diameters and large sizes. Since the plate-like body 11 is formed in multiple stages in order from the small size to the large size in order from the front end side, it can accommodate the storage of small storage media 30A, 30B, 30C having different outer diameter sizes. , Can increase its convenience.

  Further, the guide ribs 19 are also formed in this order from the small size to the large size from the inner side to the outer side in the radial direction along with the multi-stage configuration of the plate-like body 11, so that the outer space is limited in the limited case space. It is possible to accommodate storage of small storage media 30A, 30B, and 30C having different diameter sizes.

  Further, the upper edge of the radially inner guide rib 19A or 19B is placed on the upper small storage medium 30B or 30C held by the adjacent radially outer guide rib 19B or 19C, and also serves as a sliding guide. Therefore, it is possible to stably hold and send out the small storage medium 30B or 30C stored in the upper side.

  In the above-described embodiment, a small thin plate-like small storage medium such as an SD card is exemplified as the plate-shaped small article 30, but it is needless to say that it can be used for storing other small plate-shaped small articles. .

  Further, the case elements 2 and 3 are illustrated as being integrally connected via the thin hinge portion 4, but the case elements 2 and 3 may be configured separately.
