The disc case includes a receptacle 1 for accommodating the optical disc D and a lid part 2 for closing the opening of the receptacle 1 for accommodating the disc. The receiving portion 1 and the lid portion 2 are connected to each other by a belt-shaped section 3 located substantially in the middle. Since the boundary between the belt-shaped portion 3 and the receiving portion 1 and the boundary between the belt-shaped portion 3 and the lid portion 2 has a hinge structure, the lead portion 2 is the lid portion 2. With respect to the belt-shaped portion 3 serving as a support for rotating the toward the receiving portion 1, it can be rotated to completely close the receiving portion (1).

Two engagement grooves 4 are formed in the interior of the edge wall of the receptacle 1, which is located opposite the edge wall of the receptacle 1, which is connected to the belt-shaped part 3. On the other hand, engaging projections 5 are formed on the edge wall of the lead portion 2 which is located opposite the edge wall connected to the belt-shaped portion 3. Thus, when closing the receiving portion 1 with the lid portion 2, the engaging projections 5 are pushed into the respective engagement grooves 4 to engage with each other to firmly close the disc case.

On the inner surface of the lead portion 2, two claws 6 having an L-shape on the side are formed at positions near the edge wall where the engaging projections 5 are formed. Instructions for execution of the game program, advertisements of the movies, and the like may be supported by the claws 6.

The accommodating part 1 has a disc accommodating part 10 for accommodating the optical disc D and accommodating the optical disc D and an external memory accommodating part 20 for accommodating the external memory M.

Although not shown in the figures, the optical disk D comprises a cabinet made of synthetic resin and having a shielded plane, which accommodates therein a disk main body having a circular shape therein. The disc main body accommodated therein is an optically readable circular disc and can record video information such as a game program or a moving picture. Although not shown in the figures, a shutter is formed at the side edge of the cabinet made of synthetic resin, so that the shutter is opened when the optical disk D is mounted on the electronic device, and recorded on the main body of the disk. Causes the information to be read optically.

As shown in FIG. 1, the disk receiving portion 10 has a pair of uprights that enclose the outer edges of the receiving space having a contour that matches the contour of the cabinet of the optical disk D and the receiving space having a shielded contour. It has walls 11 inside. The upstanding walls 11 extend along the side edges of the shielded contour of the optical disk D and one of each opposing ends of the upstanding walls 11 receives a portion of the arcuate lower portion of the shielded cabinet. And the other end is bent to receive a portion of the upper edge of the shielded cabinet.

The upstanding walls 11 may be formed by raising a part of the bottom surface of the accommodation portion 1 made of synthetic resin. That is, when the disc case is formed by injection molding, upstanding walls can be formed together with the disc case.

The pair of upstanding walls 11 are arranged opposite to each other and formed with a pair of fixing claws 12 projecting inwardly from the corresponding side wall surfaces together with the received optical disk D, about halfway between the upstanding walls. It is. The line A connecting the pair of fixing claws 12 passes through the center of rotation of the disk main body of the received disk D (about the center of the movement limiter 14 to be described below).

The fixing claws 12 fixedly support the received optical disk as components for pressing the received optical disk D from the opening to the bottom surface of the receiving portion 1. As shown in FIG. 2A, each of the fixing claws 12 is a claw formed by bending the base 121 at the front end of the base 121 and the base raised from the bottom surface 10A of the disc receiving portion 10. Has (122). As shown in FIG. 2B, the adjacent surface of the claw portion 122 adjacent to the optical disk D is downward from the front end of the claw portion 122 toward the base 121 to access the bottom surface of the receiving portion 1. Tilted to

As shown in FIG. 1, the pair of supporting protrusion ridges 13 are formed integrally with the bottom surface of the receiving portion 1 as the supporting protrusions at respective positions separated from each other, and the fixing protrusions 12 are formed. It is located on both sides of the connecting line A.

The support projecting ridge 13 is adjacent to the lower surface of the cabinet of the optical disk D accommodated in the disk receiving portion 10 so as to support the optical disk D in a state away from the bottom surface of the disk receiving portion 10. do. The support projecting ridges 13 extend along the line A and are arranged at respective positions symmetrical with respect to the line A. In addition, when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the line A, the supporting protrusion ridges 13 substantially divide the length of the optical disk D into three equal parts. The support projecting ridges 13 are formed integrally with the disc case by injection molding.

As shown in FIG. 3, the movement limiting portion 13 is formed at a position corresponding to the rotational center of the optical disk D through which the line A passes, and from the bottom surface 10A of the disk receiving portion 10. It's springing up. The movement limiting portion 14 is formed by splitting a portion of the bottom surface 10A of the disk receiving portion 10 and protruding upward from the bottom surface.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the movement limiting portion 14 is an arm section 141 and an anterior portion of the arm portion 141 which rises obliquely upward from the bottom surface 10A of the disk receiving portion 10. It has an adjacent portion 142 extending substantially horizontally from the distal end.

The arm portion 141 is made of a synthetic resin and formed by cleaving a portion of the bottom surface 10A of the disk receiving portion 10 so as to rise upward from the bottom surface and have a thickness smaller than the thickness of the bottom surface 10A. Adjacent portion 142 is elastically deflected under force and moved from the bottom surface.

When the optical disk D is mounted in the disk receiving portion 10, the adjacent portion 142 is adjacent to the central hole portion of the disk main body accommodated inside the cabinet. Since the arm part 142 is adjacent to the central hole portion of the disc main body, the arm part 141 is deflected toward the bottom surface 10A and the disc main body is pushed up by the elasticity of the deflected arm part 141, so that the optical disc D Adjacent to the inner surface of the cabinet and restrict the movement of the disc main body.

The memory receptacle 20 is formed adjacent to the disk receptacle 10 having the configuration described above. As shown in FIGS. 1-5, the memory receptacle 20 includes a seat 21 and engaging portions 22. The memory M to be mounted in the memory accommodating part 20 includes a circuit board having a flash memory or the like and a cover case having a rectangular plane. The cover case is chamfered at one corner to indicate the connection edge to be connected to the electronic device so that the memory is not inserted in the wrong way in the electronic device.

The seat 21 includes a support surface 211 which projects a part of the bottom surface of the receiving portion 1 from the bottom surface and is slightly smaller than the outline of the memory M to be mounted. An arrow indicating the direction in which the memory M is to be mounted is displayed on the support surface 211.

As shown in FIG. 1, the engaging portions 22 have an L-shaped contour so that they respectively match the contours of the four corners of the cover case of the memory M to be mounted and like the other walls the bottom surface of the receiving portion 1. It rises up from.

As shown in FIG. 5, the engagement portions 22 each correspond to the longitudinal direction of the memory M to be adjacent to the upright portion 221 and the memory M that rise from the bottom surface of the receiving portion 1. It includes a fixing protrusion 222 formed at the upper end of the surface of the upright portion 221.

When the memory M is accommodated in the memory receptacle 20, the memory M is urged to slide at the front end in the direction indicated by the arrow 212, and the base end side of the memory M is subsequently seated 21. Is pressed toward the support surface 211. Then, the front surface of the memory M is blocked by the portions of the corresponding fixing claws 222. However, as the uprights 221 are deflected outward to widen the gap between the uprights, the memory M may push the fixed claws 222 forward. As the memory M pushes the fixed claws 222, the original shape is restored and the memory M is properly mounted and supported in the memory accommodating portion 20.

Now, the effects of the first embodiment of the disc case will be described below.

Initially, when mounting the optical disk D in the disk receiving portion 10, the arcuate portion of the shielded cabinet is inserted into the disk receiving portion 10, and the fixing claws 12 are inserted into the optical disk D. The optical disc D is fixedly supported by sliding until it engages with the side edges of the cabinet.

When the optical disk D is taken out of the disk receiving portion 10, the pressure for pressing the upper edge portion of the shielded optical disk D toward the bottom surface 10A of the disk receiving portion 10 is shown in FIG. It is applied from the top as if it were.

The force for rotating the optical disk D about the upper surface of one of the support projecting ridges 13 serving as a support acts to generate a force for lifting the fixing portions of the fixing claws 12. As a result, the optical disk D is released from the fixing claws 12 and the front end of the optical disk D is lifted above the upper edge of the upstanding walls 11 by the upward force of the movement limiting portion 14. However, the side edges of the optical disk D may optionally be arranged such that the front end of the optical disk D is lifted up while being supported by the fixing claws 12. This arrangement works well when the fixing claws 12, the support projecting ridges 13 and the corresponding ends of the disc receiving portion 10 are aligned on a straight line.

Then, the user grasps the raised portion of the optical disk D to take the optical disk D out of the disk receiving portion 10. Optionally, since the other supporting protrusion ridges 13 are arranged at positions symmetrical about the line A connecting the fixing claws 12, the edges of the arcuate portion of the disk receiving portion 10 are arranged. When pressed from above toward the bottom surface 10A, the optical disk D can be taken out following the procedure described above.

The embodiment described above provides the following advantages.

Since the optical disk D is fixedly supported inside the disk receiving portion 10 while the optical disk D is held by the upstanding walls 11 and the fixing claws 12, the optical disk D is supported. Does not move during transfer. That is, it is not necessary to prepare the packaging members separately because the optical disk D can be accommodated without risk of moving in the disk case. On the other hand, the optical disk D is supported by the support protrusion ridges 13 protruding from the bottom surface 10A of the disk receiving portion 10 and the support protrusion ridges 13 connect the fixed claws 12. Since the fixing claws 12 are separated from the optical disk D by the lever effect only by pressing the edge of the optical disk D, the optical disk D is the disk accommodating portion 10 because it is separated from the line. Can be easily taken out of

Since the support projecting ridges 13 are formed along the line A connecting the fixing claws 12, the optical disk D is simply removed from the edge of the optical disk located away from the line A. The pressing force acts to separate the fixing claws 12 so that the optical disk D can be taken out of the disk receiving portion 10 very easily.

Since the supporting projecting ridges 13 are formed at positions substantially symmetrical about the line A connecting the fixing claws 12, the optical disk D on which the fixing claws 12 are mounted. Can be evenly distributed by the two support protrusion ridges 13 so that the optical disk D can be fixed in the disk receiving portion 10 and supported very reliably.

As the surface of each claw portion 122 of the fixed claws 12 adjacent to the cabinet of the optical disk D faces the outside of the optical disk D and approaches the base 121, the bottom of the disk receiving portion 10. Since the surface is inclined toward the surface 10A, even if the thickness of the cabinet of the optical disk D is not accurate, the claw portion 122 is reliably adjacent to the upper surface of the cabinet, so that the optical disk D is the disk receiving portion 10. It can be fixed inside and supported very reliably.

Since the disc accommodating portion 10 has a movement restricting portion 14, the disc main body is driven by the force by the movement restricting portion 14 when the optical disc D is mounted in the disc accommodating portion 10. Pressed toward the inner surface of the disk main body, the disk main body is prevented from moving in the cabinet, and even if the disk case of the mounted optical disk D is shaken, the disk main body does not move soundly.

Since the memory accommodating portion 20 is formed in the accommodating portion 1 of the disc case, even if the optical disc D stores a game program or similar software, the progress of the game is recorded in the memory M and the progress is made. It is possible to mount the recorded memory M in the memory accommodating portion 20 so that the memory M mounted in the memory accommodating portion 20 can be conveniently used when restarting the game.

Therefore, this embodiment has its advantages described below based on the present invention:

A disk receiving body according to the present invention includes a receiving portion for receiving a disk formed by mounting a disk main body in a cabinet; And a lid portion for closing the disc storage port of the accommodation portion. The receptacle comprises: a plurality of bendable fixing projections that rise from the bottom surface of the receptacle at positions along the outer periphery of the receivable disc and which hold the disc received in the receptacle fixedly, and the bottom surface of the receptacle It has a support protrusion for supporting the received disc in the state away from it.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the disc accommodated in the accommodation portion can be supported by the support protrusion in a state of being pushed toward the bottom surface of the accommodation portion and fixed from the bottom surface of the accommodation portion and fixedly held in the normal position by the plurality of fixing claws. . With this arrangement, the user can easily eject the disc accommodated in the receptacle because the user can touch the edge of the disc from any position of the receptacle except for the positions where the fixing claws are arranged.

More specifically, because the disk is supported by the support protrusion with the disk away from the bottom of the receptacle, the user's finger trying to remove the disk from the receptacle touches the edge and part of the bottom of the disk so that the user can easily access the disk. You can lift it up. Therefore, the user can very easily remove the disk from the receptacle.

Preferably, in the present invention, when the disc stores a program that can be executed by the electronic device and the progress state of the program can be stored on another recording medium, the recording medium accommodating portion is located from the position of the accommodating portion for accommodating the disc. It is provided for accommodating the recording medium in the separated position.

The recording medium for storing the progress state of the program may be a small storage memory such as a flash memory.

Therefore, if the disk stores a game program or the like and the recording medium storing portion is provided according to the present invention, it is easy to record the progress of the game on the recording medium because the recording medium can be handled properly according to the game, and the recording medium storing portion Is supported within.

<Fifth Embodiment>

11 to 14 show a fifth embodiment.

In the disc case of the first embodiment, each of the fixing claws 12 is arranged about the middle of the corresponding side edge of the disc accommodating portion 10 having a shielded outline corresponding to that of the optical disc D. The optical disc D is fixedly supported in the disc case by the fixing claws 12.

The disk case of the fifth embodiment has fixing claws arranged in the middle of the upper edge of the disk receiving portion 10 and in the middle of the arcuate portion of the disk receiving portion 10, as shown in FIG. 12A) differs from the first embodiment in that the optical disk D is fixedly supported in the disk housing portion 10. In addition, the disk case of the fifth embodiment holds the optical disk D accommodated in the disk receiving portion 10 in the lid portion 2 of the fifth embodiment and the optical disk is moved outward from the disk receiving portion 10. The difference from the first embodiment is that the holding portion 61 for preventing slipping is provided about the middle of the lead portion. The memory accommodating part 60 of 5th Embodiment is the same as the memory accommodating part of the disk case of 4th Embodiment.

In the following the differences listed above will be described in detail.

Unlike the fixing claws 12 described above, the fixing claws 12A of the present embodiment press and hold the received optical disk D from the opening side of the receiving portion 1 toward the bottom surface of the receiving portion. Suitable for As shown in FIG. 11, the fixing claws 12A are arranged substantially at the middle of the upper edge of the disk receiving portion 10 having a shielded shape and at the middle of the arcuate portion of the disk receiving portion 10, respectively. do. Therefore, the fixing claws 12A are arranged facing each other. More specifically, the fixing claws 12A are arranged at a centerline symmetrically dividing the optical disk D having a shielded shape into two parts and are suitable for engaging with respective distal ends of the optical disk D. FIG. Do. In addition, the support projecting ridges 13 are arranged parallel to the line connecting the fixed claws 12A. In addition, the recesses 311 are formed at the intersections of the line connecting the fixing claws 12A and the line perpendicular to the center of the disk receiving portion 10 and the upright wall 31, respectively.

As shown in FIG. 12, each of the fixing claws 12A is a claw portion 12A2 suitable for adjoining the upright portion 12A1, the optical disk D, which rises from the bottom surface 10A of the disk receiving portion 10. And a bypass portion 12A3 that bends in different directions between the upright portion 12A1 and the claw portion 12A2. As in the case of the claw portions 122 of the fixed claws 12 described above, the adjacent surface of the claw portion 12A2 suitable for adjoining the optical disk D is a bypass portion from the front end of the claw portion 12A2. Tilt downward toward 12A3) to approach the bottom of the receptacle 1.

The bypass portion 12A3 of the fixed claw 12A is formed to bend from the upright portion 12A1 to the claw portion 12A2 in another direction and has a substantially S-shaped cross section. That is, when the optical disk D is accommodated in the disk receiving portion 10, the bypass portion 12A3 is suitable to be deflected outward in the radial direction with respect to the optical disk D. The front end of the bypass portion 12A3 may project to a position closer to the center of the disk receiving portion 10 than the upstanding wall 31 such that the claw portion 12A2 may engage the optical disk D. FIG. As in the case of the fixing claws 12A of the first embodiment, when the disk case is formed by injection molding, the fixing claws 12A of the present embodiment are integrally formed with the disk case.

As shown in Figs. 11 and 13, the holding portion 61 is positioned near the edge of the lid portion 2, wherein the engaging projections 5 are formed on the inner surface of the lid portion 2 and between the claws 6; The side is formed to be L-shaped. The holding portion 61 faces the bottom surface of the lid portion 2 and the distance between the surface of the holding portion 61 and the bottom surface of the lid portion 2 facing the bottom surface of the lid portion 2 faces the bottom surface of the lid portion 2. It is formed in a manner larger than the distance between each surface of the located claws 6 and the bottom surface of the lid portion 2. Like the claws 6, leaflets such as instructions placed between the retaining portion 61 and the bottom surface of the lid portion 2 may be supported by the retaining portion 61. In addition, the retaining portion 61 partially closes the disc receiving portion 10 such that the receiving portion 1 is closed by the lead portion 2 while in the disc receiving portion 10 defined by the upstanding wall 31. The accommodated optical disk D does not slip from the disk receiving portion 10. More specifically, the disc receiving portion 10 is partially covered by the surface 61A of the retaining portion 61 opposite to the surface of the retaining portion 61 positioned facing the bottom surface of the lid portion 2. Even if the optical disk D is separated from the fixing claws 12A and comes out of the upright wall 31 while the disc case is being transported, it is defined by the upstanding wall 31 and partially by the surface 61A. Accidental slipping from the space of the covered disc receiving portion 10 is prevented. In addition, as shown in FIG. 14, when the disk case is closed and the surface 61A is in contact with the upper surface of the optical disk D accommodated in the disk receiving portion 10, the surface 61A receives the optical disk D. It pushes toward the bottom surface 10A of the part 10. When the disc case is formed by injection molding, the holding portion 61 is integrally formed with the disc case.

The fifth embodiment described above provides the advantages listed below in addition to the advantages of the first and fourth embodiments previously described.

As the pair of fixing claws 12A arranged facing the disk receiving portion 10 are engaged with the optical disk D and the optical disk D is received in the disk receiving portion 10, the fixing claws ( Bypass portions 12A3 of 12A are radially outwardly deflected with respect to the optical disk D like springs. As a result, the optical disk D is not only receiving a force toward the bottom surface 10A but also receiving an appropriate pressure inward in the radial direction with respect to the optical disk D, so that the optical disk D is reliable and stable, It is fixedly supported.

In addition, since the surface 61A of the retaining portion 61 partially covers the upper surface of the optical disk D accommodated in the disk receiving portion 10 when the disk case is closed, the optical disk D is fixed clamping ( Even if it is separated from 12A), it is prevented from slipping out of the disk accommodation portion 10. More specifically, since the surface 61A of the retaining portion 61 partially covers the disc receiving portion 10 from above when the disc case is closed, the disc receiving portion whose optical disc D is defined by the upstanding wall 31. It can be stably supported in the space of (10). In addition, if the surface 61A is adjacent to the top surface of the optical disk D when the disk case is closed, the optical disk D is pushed toward the bottom surface 10A by the holding portion 61 so that the optical disk D is closed. Unnecessary movement in the disk receiving portion 10 and slipping from the disk receiving portion 10 is prevented.

The distance between the surface of the retaining portion 61 positioned facing the bottom surface of the lid portion 2 and the bottom surface of the lid portion 2 is the distance of the claws 6 positioned facing the bottom surface of the lid portion 2. Since the holding portion 61 is formed so that the distance between each surface and the bottom surface of the lid portion 2 is larger, the holding portion 61 prevents the optical disk D and the leaflet from slipping, When the leaflet is held by the holding portion 61, the leaflet is supported to prevent the leaflet from interfering with the claws 6.

In addition, since the fixing claws 12A are arranged in the middle of the upper edge of the upright wall 31 and in the middle of the arcuate portion of the upstanding wall 31 defining the disk receiving portion 10, respectively, the fixing claws The fields 12A are respectively engaged in the middle of the upper edge of the optical disk D and in the middle of the arcuate portion of the optical disk D to support the optical disk D so that the optical disk D is reliably and fixedly supported. More specifically, the fixing claws 12A are located at a centerline symmetrically dividing the optical disk D having a shielded contour into two parts and are suitable for engaging with respective distal portions of the optical disk D. FIG. Each of the fixing claws 12A can support the optical disk D reliably and fixedly because it is arranged at. Therefore, the optical disc D is reliably, stable and fixedly supported in the normal position.

As pointed out above, the fixing claws 12A are arranged at about the middle of the upper edge of the upright wall 31 and about the middle of the arcuate portion of the upstanding wall 31, respectively, and additionally a pair of supporting protrusion ridges ( 13 is arranged parallel or perpendicular to the line connecting the fixing claws 12A as shown in FIG. Using this arrangement, when the optical disk D is taken out of the disk receiving portion 10, it is rotated about the upper surface of the corresponding one of the supporting protruding ridges 13, which serves as a pedestal for rotation. That is, the optical disc D rotates about the belt-shaped part 3 using the belt-shaped part 3 as a base in the rotational direction of the lead part 2 or the opposite direction with respect to the accommodating part 1. Therefore, if the fixing claws 12A are compared with the arrangement located in the middle of the side edges of the disc receiving portion 10, the optical disc D can be taken out of the closed disc case with minimal hand gestures. That is, since the optical disk D can be taken out from the disk case very easily, it constitutes a user-friendly disk case.

Therefore, this embodiment has its advantages described below based on the present invention:

Preferably, each of the fixing claws in the present invention comprises: an upright portion that rises from the bottom surface of the receiving portion; A claw suitable for adjoining the cabinet of the disc; And a bypass portion bypassing the upright portion, formed between the upright portion and the claw portion, and facing the side of the disk, the front end of the bypass portion projecting beyond the upright wall towards the interior of the receiving portion.

Therefore, according to the present invention, since the fixing claws bypass, the fixing claws are deflected and engaged with the disk when the disk is received in the receiving portion, so that an appropriate pressure is applied to the disk so that the disk can be reliably and stably supported in the normal position. Can be. In addition, since the disk is separated from the fixing claws when the disk is taken out of the receiving portion, the fixing claws recover from the deflected state and the disk is raised upward so that the disk can be taken out of the receiving body very easily.

Sixth Embodiment

15 to 18 schematically show a sixth embodiment.

The disk case of the fifth embodiment described above is suitable for accommodating a single optical disk D in a single case. Thus, a single holding portion 61 is provided on the lid portion 2.

On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 15, the disc case of the sixth embodiment has two disc receiving portions 10, each of which is the same as the disc receiving portion 10 of the fifth embodiment. In other words, the disc case of the sixth embodiment accommodates two optical discs D. FIG. In the disc case of the sixth embodiment, two retaining claws 7 are formed on the lid portion 2 of the disc case of the present embodiment, and each of the retaining claws is described with reference to the fifth embodiment. 6) and the holding portion 61.

The differences will now be described in more detail below.

As shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the pair of retaining claws 7 are provided with the engaging projections 5 when the receptacle 1 is closed by the lid 2. Is formed on the inner surface of the lead portion 2 near both ends formed and positioned facing each other. As shown in Figs. 15 to 17, each of the retaining claws 7 rises from the bottom surface of the lead portion 2 and from the bottom surface of the hold portion 71 and the lead portion 2, which are substantially L-shaped in side. It has another holder 72 which rises and is substantially U-shaped so that it horizontally surrounds the holder 71 at the front end of the holder 71.

As shown in FIG. 17, the holding portion 71 is an upright portion 711 that rises from the bottom surface of the lid portion 2 and a belt-shaped portion 3 whose side is substantially L-shaped from the front end of the upright portion 711. It has a curved portion 712 is bent downward toward the. The surface of the bent portion 712, positioned facing the bottom surface of the lid portion 2, forms an adjacent portion 712A suitable for adjoining a leaflet such as an instruction manual. Since the curved portion 712 is flexible, the curved portion may be bent according to the thickness of the leaflet so that the curved portion may reliably support the leaflet.

The holding portion 72 extends horizontally from the front end of the upright portion 721 and the upright portion 721 that rises from the bottom surface of the lid portion 2, and the plane is substantially flat so as to surround the holding portion 71 horizontally. It has a lid portion 722 extending horizontally from the front end of the upright portion 721 that is U-shaped. The lid portion 722 supports a leaflet sandwiched between the retaining claws 7 and the bottom surface of the lid portion 2 along the adjacent portion 712A of the retaining portion 71. The surface 722A of the lid portion 722 opposite to the surface located facing the bottom surface of the lid portion 2 is such that the optical disk D is closed when the receiving portion 1 is closed by the lid portion 2. The disc receiving portion 10 is partially closed from above so as not to slip from the disc receiving portion 10. The holding portion 72 has a distance between the bottom surface of the holding portion 72 and the bottom surface of the lid portion 2 facing the bottom surface of the lid portion 2. It is formed in a manner larger than the distance between the surface of the adjacent portion 712A of the retaining portion 71 facing each other and the bottom surface of the lid portion 2. Using this arrangement, the retainer 72 is not obstructed when the leaflet is held by the retainer 71.

Therefore, like the retaining portion 61 described above, the surface 722A formed in the lid portion 722 of the retaining portion 72 is designed to cover the disc receiving portion 10 defined by the upstanding wall 31 when the disc case is closed. Because of the partial covering, even if the fixing claws 12A are separated from the optical disk and the optical disk D is lifted up, the optical disk D remains within the space of the disk receiving portion 10 defined by the upstanding wall 31. maintain. In addition, when the surface 722A of the closure is adjacent to the top surface of the optical disk D accommodated in the disk receiving portion 10 while the disk case is closed as shown in FIG. 18, the surface 722A is the optical disk D. FIG. ) Is pressed toward the bottom surface 10A of the disk receiving portion 10.

The holding claws 7 constituted by the holding portions 71 and 72 are formed integrally with the disk case when the disk case is formed by injection molding.

The sixth embodiment described above provides the advantages described below in addition to the advantages of the fifth embodiments described above.

Since the two retaining claws 7 are arranged at respective positions on the lid portion 2, which are arranged to partially close the two disc receiving portions 10 formed in the accommodation portion 1, the lid portion 2 ) Is structurally simplified, and each of the retaining claws 7 has a corresponding disc receiving portion 10 when the retaining portion 71 and the receiving portion 1 suitable for supporting the leaflet are closed by the lid portion 2. Is constituted by another retaining portion 72 suitable for holding the optical disc D in the space of the &lt; RTI ID = 0.0 &gt; That is, since it is necessary to provide the same number of retaining portions 72 as the number of disk receiving portions 10 formed in the receiving portion 1, the number of components of the lid portion 2 is equal to the holding portions 71. And retainers 72 would be significant if provided separately. On the contrary, since the present embodiment is provided with retaining claws 7 which are each realized by integrally joining two retaining portions 71 and 72, the number of components of the lead portion 2 is considerably reduced and the lead The part 2 is structurally simplified.

Seventh Embodiment

19 to 25 and 33 show a seventh embodiment.

Fig. 19 shows a disc case as a seventh embodiment of the disc receiving body according to the present invention. The disc case accommodates an optical disc on which a game program or video information is recorded.

The disc case includes a receptacle 1 for accommodating the optical disc D and a lid part 2 for closing the opening of the receptacle 1 for accommodating the disc. The receiving portion 1 and the lid portion 2 are connected to each other by a belt-shaped portion 3 located substantially in the middle. Since the boundary between the belt-shaped portion 3 and the receiving portion 1 and the boundary between the belt-shaped portion 3 and the lid portion 2 has respective hinge structures, the lid portion 2 completely covers the accommodation portion 1. It is rotated toward the receiving portion 1 about the belt-shaped portion 3 serving as a pedestal for rotating the lid portion 2 to close.

Two engagement grooves 4 are provided therein in the edge wall of the receiver 1, which is located opposite the edge wall of the receiver 1, which is connected to the belt-shaped part 3. On the other hand, engaging projections 5 are provided on the edge wall of the lead portion 2 which is located opposite the edge wall of the lead portion 2 connected to the belt-shaped portion 3. Therefore, when closing the accommodating part 1 by the lid part 2, the engaging projections 5 are put in respective engagement grooves 4 for mutual engagement in order to securely close the disc case.

The lid portion 2 is provided with a holding portion 62 on the inner surface of the lid portion 2 in the region near the distal portion along the edge wall where the engaging projections 5 are formed. The instruction manual of the game program, the leaflet of the movie, and the like may be supported by the holding unit 62.

The accommodating part 1 accommodates an optical disc D and has a disc accommodating part 10 for accommodating the optical disc D. As shown in FIG.

Although not shown in the figure, the optical disc D comprises a cabinet of planar shield type, which is made of synthetic resin and accommodates a disk main body having a circular shape therein. The disc main body housed therein is a circular, optically readable disc and can record video information such as game programs or moving pictures. Although not shown in the figure, an opening is provided at the side edge of the cabinet made of synthetic resin so that when the optical disc D is mounted in an electronic device, information recorded on the disc main body can be optically read through the opening. .

As shown in FIG. 19, the disc accommodating portion 10 encloses an accommodating space having an outer shape corresponding to the outer shape of the cabinet of the optical disc D, and an outer circumferential edge of the accommodating space having a shielded shape inside the disc receiving portion. Has an upstanding wall 31. The upstanding wall 31 surrounds the entire optical disk D. FIG.

The upstanding wall 31 may be formed by an upright portion of the bottom surface of the accommodating portion 1 made of synthetic resin. That is, when the disc case is formed by injection molding, the upstanding wall 31 can be integrally formed with the disc case.

The upstanding wall 31 is substantially provided in the middle of the upstanding wall 31 with a pair of fixing claws 12A arranged projecting and facing inwardly from the side wall surfaces corresponding to the received optical disk D, respectively. . The line connecting the pair of fixing claws 12A passes through the center of rotation of the disk main body of the received disk D.

The fixing claws 12A fixedly support the optical disk D as the components for pressing the received optical disk D from the opening side toward the bottom surface of the receiving portion 1. As shown in FIG. 33, each of the fixing claws 12A is formed by bending the base 121 at the front end of the base 121 and the base 121 raised from the bottom surface of the disc receiving portion 10. As shown in FIG. Has (122). As shown in FIG. 33, the adjacent surface of the claw portion 122 adjacent to the optical disk D is inclined downward toward the base 121 from the front end of the claw portion 122 and the bottom surface of the receiving portion 1. Approach

As shown in FIG. 19, in the disk receiving portion 10, a pair of supporting protrusion ridges 13 are formed integrally with the bottom surface of the receiving portion 1 as supporting protrusions.

The support protruding ridges 13 support the optical disk D in a state of being raised from the bottom surface of the disk receiving portion 10 adjacent to the lower surface of the cabinet of the optical disk D accommodated in the disk receiving portion 10. .

As described above, the fixing claws 12A and the supporting protrusion ridges 13 of the present embodiment are the same as the fixing claws and the supporting protrusion ridges of the fifth embodiment. Like the fixing claws 12 described above, the fixing claws 12A of the present embodiment press the optical disk D received from the opening side of the receiving portion 1 toward the bottom surface of the receiving portion 1. And support the optical disk D fixedly in the normal position. As shown in Fig. 19, the fixing claws 12A are arranged at the middle of the upper edge of the disk receiving portion 10, which is shielded, and at the middle of the lower edge of the disk receiving portion 10, respectively. Therefore, the fixing claws 12A are arranged facing each other. More specifically, the fixing claws 12A are arranged and arranged on a centerline dividing the shielded optical disk D into two parts symmetrically and are suitable for engaging respective ends of the optical disk D. . In addition, the support projecting ridges 13 are arranged parallel to the line connecting the fixed claws 12A. In addition, the recesses 311 are formed at intersections with the line perpendicular to the line connecting the fixing claws 12A at the center of the disc receiving portion 10 and the upright wall 31, respectively.

The upper end of the upstanding wall 31 is formed such that when the optical disk D is mounted, the upper surface of the optical disk D is positioned above the upper end of the upstanding wall. At both ends of the upstanding wall 31, which is on the line connecting both ends perpendicular to the line connecting the pair of fixing claws 12A, respective recesses 311 lower than the upper end of the upstanding wall 31 are provided. It is provided to expose the side of the optical disk (D).

When taking the optical disk D out of the disk receiving portion 10, the optical disk D is on one side of the optical disk D positioned at a position corresponding to one of the recesses 311 of the upstanding wall 31. It is rotated about one of the support projecting ridges 13, which is pressed down at the end and acts as a lever as in the case of the first embodiment.

Since the upstanding wall 31 is formed to substantially surround the optical disk D along the outer circumference of the upstanding wall 31, the disk receiving portion 10 is reinforced by the upstanding wall 31 and the receiving portion 1 Even if an external force is applied to the disk case after the optical disk D is mounted by improving the overall force of the disk, the disk case is not deformed and the optical disk D mounted therein is reliably protected.

In addition, since the recesses 311 are formed in a portion of the upstanding wall 31, the user can clearly know where to press when taking out the optical disk D mounted therein, which is convenient for the user.

Therefore, differences between the disc case of the seventh embodiment and the disc case of the fifth embodiment (Figs. 11 to 14) are listed below.

(7-1) The memory accommodating part 60 is omitted and the disk accommodating part 10 is arranged in the center of the accommodating part 1.

(7-2) The upper surface of the upstanding wall 31 surrounding the outer periphery of the disk housing portion 10 is lower than the upper surface of the optical disk D accommodated in the disk housing portion 10.

(7-3) The movement limiting portion 84 arranged in the center of the disk accommodation portion 10 is different from the movement restriction portion in the fifth embodiment.

(7-4) The holding part 62 arranged on the lead part 2 is different from the holding part of 5th Embodiment.

(7-1) As shown in Fig. 19, the disk accommodating portion 10 of the present embodiment is arranged at the center of the accommodating portion 1 having a rectangular outline having a long side and a short side.

(7-2) As shown in Fig. 20, the upper surface of the upstanding wall 31 surrounding the outer circumference of the disk receiving portion 10 is lower than the upper surface of the optical disk D accommodated in the disk receiving portion 10. have. Using this arrangement, when the outer circumferential edge of the optical disc D accommodated in the disc accommodating portion 10 is pressed toward the bottom surface 10A of the disc accommodating portion 10 by the finger tip, the pressure by the fingertip is light. The optical disk D, which is applied to the disk D, is inclined about a corresponding one of the supporting protruding ridges 13 serving as a pedestal (see FIG. 21). Then, as a result, the distal end of the optical disk D opposite the portion pushed down the outer circumferential edge is lifted from the bottom surface 10A of the disk receiving portion 10 so that the optical disk D is tilted. Therefore, the user can easily grasp the optical disk D and take it out of the disk accommodation portion 10.

As the optical disk D is pushed further downward, the fingertip pushing the optical disk D hits the upper surface of the upstanding wall 31. The fingertip can then not push the optical disk D further down. The optical disk D is elastically held by a pair of fixing claws 12A at both ends of the optical disk D, and the optical disk D is held by the clamping force of the fixing claws 12A. Since it is supported therein, the optical disk D is prevented from sliding down from the disk receiving body when the disk receiving body is supported in an inclined state.

(7-3) As shown in Figs. 22 and 24, the movement limiting portion 84 arranged at the center of the disc receiving portion 10 cuts the U-shaped portion 84A of the bottom surface 10A and cuts off the center of the bottom surface. It is formed so as to protrude from the bottom surface 10A. The movement limiting portion 84 has an arm portion 841 that is inclined to rise from the bottom surface 10A and an adjacent portion 842 extending horizontally from the front end of the arm portion 841.

As shown in FIG. 23, the arm portion 841 has a thickness smaller than the thickness of the bottom surface 10A. Arm portion 841 is elastically deflected when a force directed to bottom surface 10A of disk receiving portion 10 is applied to adjacent portion 842. The arm portion 841 has a cut portion 84B at the center of the arm portion. Since the size of the side of the arm portion 841 is determined by the side size of the cut portion 84B or the horizontal size of FIG. 22, the elasticity of the arm portion 841 is determined as a function of the side size of the cut portion 84B. Therefore, by appropriately selecting the size of the cut portion 84B and the side size of the arm portion 841, the bottom surface 10A is not changed without changing the distance between the bottom surface 10A and the adjacent portion 842 or the height of the adjacent portion 842. It is possible to adjust the force of the proximal portion 842 that pushes the optical disk D away from it.

When the optical disk D is mounted in the disk receiving portion 10, the adjacent portion 842 is adjacent to the central hole portion of the disk main body accommodated inside the cabinet. As the adjoining portion 842 is adjacent to the central hole portion of the disc main body, the arm portion 841 is deflected toward the bottom surface 10A and the disc main body is forced upward by the elasticity of the deflected arm portion 841. Adjacent to the inner surface of the disk D and limit the movement of the disk main body.

As shown in FIG. 25, when the disc case is closed, a gap E is formed between the surface 622A of the extension 622 positioned facing the bottom surface 10A and the top surface of the optical disc D. FIG. . By providing the extension 622, even if the engaging claws 12A and the optical disc D are separated from each other to lift the optical disc D when the disc case is closed, the surface of the extension 622 ( 622A holds the optical disk D in the area of the disk receiving portion 10 adjacent to the top surface of the optical disk D. FIG. In addition, since a gap is formed between the surface 622A of the extension 622 and the top surface of the optical disk D, the extension 622 is prevented from damaging the top surface of the optical disk D. FIG. If the optical disk D has a large thickness and the surface 622A of the extension 622 is adjacent to the top surface of the optical disk D, the extension 622 of FIG. 25 is deflected upwards to deflect the optical disk D. FIG. It pushes toward the bottom surface 10A of the disk accommodating part 10. FIG. As a result, the optical disc D is formed to stay in the disc accommodating portion 10 and the optical disc D is stably received in the disc accommodating portion 10.

The tongs 623 support the leaflet held between the bottom surface of the lead portion 2 and the surface 623A of the tongs portion 623 located facing the bottom surface. As illustrated in FIG. 19, the forceps 623 are portions formed at the center of the extension portion 622 having a U-plane in the plane. As shown in FIG. 24, the tong part 623 extends from the end of the tong part 623 located close to the belt-shaped part 3 toward the bottom surface of the lead part 2. Then, the surface of the forceps portion 623 located facing the bottom surface of the lead portion 2 is bent upward from the bottom surface.

Although the front distal end of the forceps 623 protrudes upward from the horizontal plane of the surface 622A of the extension 622, the front distal end of the forceps 623 is not adjacent to other members of the disc case. Therefore, when the retaining portion 62 having the tongs 623 is arranged in the disc case, the disc case can hold and support the leaflets and the thickness of the leaflets is not limited by the other members of the disc case. Therefore, the internal space of the disc case can be utilized to the maximum.

Therefore, this embodiment has its advantages described below based on the present invention:

Preferably, when the disc is pressed at the end of the disc toward the bottom of the receptacle, the disc is tilted so that the opposite end of the disc protrudes from the bottom of the receptacle.

Therefore, according to the present invention, since the disk is fixedly supported in the receiving portion while being pressed by the upright wall and the fixing claws, the disk does not move during transportation, and the optical disk does not use the packaging material prepared separately. It may be received in the disc receiving body without moving in the receiving body. On the other hand, when the disc is taken out of the receptacle, it is enough for the user to push the disc up at the end of the disc. Then, the other end of the disk is raised by the lever effect and the fixing claws are separated from the disk so that the user can easily take the disk out of the receiving body.

It is preferably arranged at a height that protrudes from each of the positions suitable for pressing and holding securely and is suitable for resiliently holding the disk at the edge of the disk.

Therefore, according to the present invention, as the user presses the disc from the end of the disc toward the bottom of the receptacle, the disc is inclined such that the opposite end of the disc protrudes from the bottom of the receptacle. At this time, since the disk is held by the pair of fixing claws at the edge of the disk and supported in the disk receiving body by the holding force of the pair of fixing claws, the disk holding body is in an inclined state while the disk is in the receiving portion The disc is prevented from falling out of the disc receiving body when taken out of it.

Preferably, in the present invention, the pair of fixing claws protrude from positions suitable for pressing and holding the received disk at both ends of the received disk, wherein each of the plurality of protrusions connects the pair of fixing claws. It is a molten base extending along the line.

Therefore, according to the present invention, since the ridges extend along the line connecting the fixed claws, applying a force to separate the fixed claws by pressing the outer portion of the disk and the portions of the disk located on the ridges Because of this, the disc can be taken out of the receiving body more easily.

Preferably, in the present invention, when the pair of fixing claws protrude from respective positions suitable for pressing and holding the disk main body of the disk received at the radial ends of the disk, the ridges are a pair of It is formed at positions substantially symmetrical with respect to the line connecting the fixed claws.

Therefore, according to the invention, the ridges are formed at positions substantially symmetrical with respect to the line connecting the pair of fixed claws, so that the force to press the disk mounted by the fixed claws is distributed evenly. Since supported by two ridges, the disc can be received in the receptacle very reliably.

Preferably, the surface of each of the fastening claws suitable for adjoining the disk in the present invention has a higher slope toward the outer surface of the disk.

Therefore, according to the present invention, since the adjacent surfaces are inclined, the disk can be reliably fixed in the receiving portion because the fixing claws can be reliably adjacent to the upper surface of the disk cabinet even if the thickness of the cabinet has a size error. have.

Preferably, in the present invention, the movement limiting portion is arranged on the bottom surface of the receiving portion so as to protrude from the bottom surface at a position corresponding to the center of rotation of the disc main body so that the disc is engaged and fixedly supported by the pair of fixing claws. When the disc main body is pushed away from the bottom surface, it restricts the movement of the disc main body in the cabinet.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the disc main body does not generate noise even if the disc receiving body is shaken with the received disc because the disc is accommodated in the receiving portion so that the disc main body is fixedly supported in the cabinet by the movement limiting portion.

Preferably, in the present invention, the lid portion is provided with a holding portion for preventing the disc accommodated in the holding portion from slipping while the lid portion closes the disc receiving opening of the housing portion, and the holding portion: an upright raised from the bottom surface of the lid portion part; An extension extending from the front end of the upright portion substantially parallel to the bottom surface of the lid portion; And a forceps portion extending from the front end of the extension toward the base end of the extension and the bottom surface of the lead portion.

Therefore, according to the present invention, even if the disc is separated from the fixing claws in the state where the lid portion closes the disc receiving opening of the accommodating portion, the extension portion of the holding portion prevents the disc from slipping adjacent the disc. In addition, leaflets and the like are caught and supported between the tongs and the bottom of the lid.

The information providing body according to the invention therefore provides the advantages described above for the disc receiving body according to the invention. More specifically, the disc is supported because the disc received in the receiving portion of the disc receiving body is pressed and fixed by the fixing claws while the disc is supported by a support protrusion having a size smaller than the outer circumference of the disc. It can be easily raised at the distal end from any position within the receptacle except where the securing claws are arranged. Then, you can eject the disc very easily.

Using this informational body, the disc and the disc main body that accepts the disc and allows the disc to be easily taken out can be packaged into a single package and presented to the user.

A circular arc portion having a center on a straight line passing through the center and connecting the other ends of the pair of straight portions. The center of the diameter of the semicircle coincides with the center of the disc main body and the center of the cabinet.

The bottom surface of the cabinet is provided with openings for partially exposing the optical disc main body and shutters for opening and closing the openings. The openings and shutters are arranged at positions on the cabinet in which the optical disc main body is accommodated. When the optical disc D is mounted in the electronic device, the shutter opens an opening to allow the information recorded on the disc main body to be read optically.

FIG. 28 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the disc case A1 cut along the line VII-VII of FIG. 27.

Since the disc accommodating portion A10 has an accommodating space inside the disc accommodating portion whose external shape corresponds to that of the cabinet of the optical disc D, the optical disc D is accommodated in the accommodating space. As shown in Figs. 27 and 28, the disk receiving portion A10 includes a support protrusion A12 for supporting the optical disk D, and four fixing claws A13 arranged along the outer circumference of the support protrusion A12. As a guide for guiding the optical disk D when the disk D is accommodated in the disk receiving portion A10, and the movement limiting portion 84 arranged at the center of the disk receiving portion A10. Upstanding walls A15 acting.

The disk receiving portion A10 is formed at the center of the receiving portion A2 and the movement limiting portion 84 is arranged at the center of the receiving portion A2.

The support protrusion A12 is formed along the outer circumference of the optical disk D. More specifically, the support projection A12 has a size slightly smaller than the size of the outer circumference of the optical disk D and rises from the bottom surface A10A of the disk receiving portion A10.

Therefore, the fixing projection A12 has an outer shape that corresponds to the outer shape of the optical disk D and includes a first arc portion A121, a pair of straight portions A122, and a second arc portion A123. More precisely, the first circular arc portion A121 is a semicircular portion corresponding to the semicircular portion of the cabinet described above of the optical disk D. FIG. The straight portions A122 are a pair of straight portions corresponding to the straight portions of the cabinet of the optical disc D and extending in parallel to each other from both ends of the first arc portion A121. The second arc portion A123 corresponds to the arc portion of the cabinet of the optical disk D. FIG. More specifically, the second arc portion A123 connects the ends of the straight portions A122 far from the first arc portion A121 and passes through the center of the line connecting the ends of the pair of straight portions A122. It has a center at the point X located on the line and outside of the first circular arc portion A121.

The optical disk D is received on the top surface of the support projection A12, and as a result, as shown in FIG. 28, the optical disk D is supported along the edge of the optical disk by the support projection A12 and receives the disk. It floats up from the bottom surface of the part A10.

As shown in FIG. 27, four fixing claws A13 are arranged in the disk receiving portion A10. More precisely, the fixing claws A13 are arranged outside of the support protrusion A12 and two of the fixing claws are located on the side of the first arc portion A121, while the other two are the second arc portion. It is located on the (A123) side. The fixing claws A13 are arranged substantially parallel to the respective lines in contact with the corresponding arcs of the optical disk D, so that the shield D is substantially shielded when the disk D is received in the disk receiving portion A10. It is engaged with the outer peripheral edge of the disk (D). Using this arrangement, the area where each of the fixing claws A13 is engaged with the optical disk D is maximized, and the end face of the optical disk D fixed by the fixing claws A13 is fixed. There is a fixing effect of the fixing claws A13 in contact with the corresponding surfaces of (A13). Therefore, the optical disk D is reliably fixed by the fixing claws A13 and the optical disk D is kept reliably and stably in the disk receiving portion A10.

The two fixing claws A13A located on the side of the first arc portion A121 are adjacent to the side edges of the semicircular portions of the optical disk D, and the optical disk D is connected to the bottom surface A10A of the disk receiving portion A10. The optical disk D is fixedly supported at the normal position to be suitable for pressing against the surface.

On the other hand, the two fixing claws A13B located on the side of the second arc portion A123 are adjacent to the arc side side edges of the optical disc D, and the optical disc D is placed on the bottom surface A10A of the disc receiving portion A10. The optical disk D is fixedly supported at the normal position by being suitable for pressing toward the side.

The fixing claws A13A, A13B can be bent, deflected outward with respect to the disk receiving portion A10 when the optical disk D is accommodated in the disk receiving portion A10, and the optical disk D inwards. Pushing power is created. As a result, the optical disk D can be stably housed in the disk receiving portion A10.

The fixed claws A13A are arranged such that the centers of the respective fixed claws A13A and the straight lines A passing through the center of the disc receiving portion A10 are perpendicular to each other. The fixed claw A13A connects the center of the first arc portion A121 and the center of the second arc portion A123 of the support protrusion A12 and the straight line B passing through the center of the disk receiving portion A10. They are arranged separated by the same distance from. Using this arrangement, when the optical disk D accommodated in the disk receiving portion A10 is taken out by lifting the semicircle of the optical disk D, the optical disk D is separated from the two fixing claws A13A. At the same time they are separated and taken out. Therefore, when the optical disk D is taken out, the unnecessary load caused by twisting because the optical disk D is separated from one of the fixing claws A13A and not from the other fixing claw A13A is prevented.

The operation of taking out the optical disc D will be described in more detail below.

FIG. 29 is a schematic cross-sectional view of one of the fixing claws A13A cut along the line VII-VII in FIG. 27.

The fixed claw A13A protrudes from the front end of the upright portion A131 and the center of the disk receiving portion A10 from the front end of the upright portion A131 so as to protrude toward the center of the disk receiving portion A10. ) Has a fixing portion A132 for fixing the optical disk D housed therein. The upright part A131 and the fixing part A132 are integrally formed with the accommodation part A2. The protruding height of the fixing claw A13A is larger than the thickness of the optical disk D.

The upright portion A131 is slightly inclined toward the center of the disk receiving portion A10. As a result, when the optical disk D is received in the disk receiving portion A10, the upright portion A131 is slightly deflected outward and a force is applied to the optical disk D. FIG.

The projected height of the fixing portion A132 measured from the bottom surface A10A of the disk receiving portion A10 is greater than the height of the upper surface of the optical disk D accommodated in the disk receiving portion A10. The fixing portion A132 includes an upward portion A132A that is inclined further away from the disc receiving portion A10 as it goes upward, and a downward portion A132B that is inclined further away from the disc receiving portion A10 as it goes downward. . The downward portion A132B is adjacent to the side edge of the optical disk D accommodated in the disk receiving portion A10 and directed the optical disk D toward the bottom surface A10A of the disk receiving portion A10 or the lower portion of FIG. 29. Press to support the optical disk in a fixed manner. As a result, the optical disk D is fixed and the shaking of the optical disk D is suppressed.

Since the fixing claw A13A can be bent and the upright portion A131 is inclined toward the disk receiving portion A10, the fixing claw is deflected outward when the optical disk D is accommodated in the disk receiving portion A10. do. As a result, when the optical disk D is accommodated in the disk receiving portion A10, the fixing claw A13A is formed to maintain the outwardly deflected shape. Then, the optical disk D is stably received in the disk accommodating portion A10 by the force pushing inwardly.

The downward portion A132B formed as the lower portion of the fixing portion A132 is inclined downward as it moves away from the disk receiving portion A10. With this arrangement, although the optical disc D accommodated in the disc accommodating part A10 has a thickness slightly different from a specific value, the fixing claw A13A is inclined by the downward part A132B to allow the disc accommodating part ( Deflected outward from A10), the fixed claw reliably applies pressure to the side edges of the optical disc D. FIG. Therefore, the optical disc D is reliably fixed in the normal position.

The fixed claws A13B arranged on the side of the second arc portion A123 are located at positions separated by the same distance from the straight line B described above. The distance from each of the fixed claws A13B to the straight line B is larger than the distance from each of the fixed claws A13A arranged on the side of the first arc portion A121 to the straight line B. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 27, the fixing claws A13B are arranged farther from the straight line B than the fixing claws A13A, so that they are parallel to the straight line B and each of the fixing claws A13B There is a gap Y between a straight line C1 passing through the center of the engagement and a straight line C2 parallel to the straight line B and passing through the center of the engagement of the corresponding fixed claw of the fixed claws A13A. Using this arrangement, it is possible to reliably fix the optical disc D asymmetrically to the straight line C3 perpendicular to the straight line B and passing through the center of the optical disc D. That is, the fixing claws A13B are arranged at positions farther from the straight line B than the positions of the fixing claws A13A and the fixing claws A13B are near the positions farthest from the straight line B. Since it is suitable for fixing the disk D, the optical disk D is stabilized at both ends of the arc portion as shown in the direction parallel to the straight line C3. As a result, the optical disk D is thus stably fixed.

Since the fixed claws A13B are structurally identical to the fixed claws A13A, the fixed claws will no longer be described.

Using the above-described positional arrangement of the fixing claws A13A and A13B, the fixing claws are located at four corners of the optical disk D so that the fixing claws A13A and A13B for fixing the optical disk D are provided. Compared to an arrangement in which the fixing claws A13A, A13B located at the four corners of the optical disk D and holding the optical disk D are not arranged at the four corners, the optical disk D It is fixed reliably and stably using force.

 In addition, since the two fixing claws A13B are separated by the same distance from the straight line B, the two fixing claws A13B adjacent to the circular arc portion of the optical disk D are the disc receiving portion A10. The optical disk D accommodated in the) is simultaneously separated from the optical disk D when being lifted up and taken out from the midpoint of the arc portion. Therefore, as in the case of the fixing claws A13A described above, unnecessary burden by the fixing claws A13B is not applied to the optical disk D when the optical disk D is taken out.

In addition, since the fixing claws A13A are arranged at positions forming 90 ° with the center of the disk receiving portion A10, the pair of fixing claws A13A is about 1 of the outer circumference of the optical disk D. FIG. Are separated from each other by / 4. In addition, since the fixed claws A13B are separated from the straight line B by a distance larger than the distance from which the fixed claws A13A are separated from the straight line B, the fixed claws A13B are not separated from the optical disk D. Of the outer circumference of the optical disk D from the neighboring fixed claw of the fixed claws A13B. Therefore, the optical disk D can be easily taken out from the disk receiving portion A10 in any direction, so that the optical disk D is taken out much more easily.

When the optical disk D is arranged in positions adjacent to the end face of the optical disk D accommodated in the disk receiving portion A10 and received at the straight portions of the optical disk D, the upstanding walls A15 are It acts as disk guides for guiding the optical disk D into the disk receiving portion A10. The upstanding walls A15 rise from the bottom surface of the receiving portion A2. The surfaces of the upstanding wall A15 located facing the optical disk D are inclined and located closer to the center of the disk receiving portion A10 at the bases than at the front ends. As a result, the optical disk D can be easily moved along the inclinations of the upstanding walls A15 until it is received in the disk receiving portion A10 so that the optical disk D is received much more easily. In addition, since the upstanding walls A15 can be bent, the optical disk D is adjacent to each of the straight portions of the upstanding walls A15 when receiving the optical disk D in the disk receiving portion A10. The upstanding walls A15 are deflected outward. As a result, the upstanding walls A15 apply an inwardly directed force to the optical disk D to suppress the shaking of the optical disk D accommodated in the disk receiving portion A10.

The operation of taking out the optical disk D from the disk receiving portion A10 will be described in detail below.

When taking out the optical disk D accommodated in the disk receiving portion A10, initially, the user uses the thumb and middle finger of the outer circumferential edge of the optical disk D with respect to the centerline of the optical disk D. Touch each side symmetrically. Then, as the user lifts one of the sides from the bottom surface A10A of the disk receiving portion A10, the optical disk D moves the supporting protrusion A12 located near the other side serving as a pedestal. Rotate to the center As a result, the optical disk D can be separated from the fixing claws A13A and A13B and taken out from the disk receiving portion A10. Since the support projection A12 is on the inner circumference of the optical disk D supported by the support projection, the outer peripheral edge of the optical disk D is floating from the bottom surface A10A of the disk receiving portion A10. do. Therefore, the user can easily remove the optical disk D from the disk receiving portion A10 by easily touching the distal and bottom surfaces of the optical disk D with one of the thumb and the other finger of one hand.

The disc case A1 of the ninth embodiment according to the present invention provides the following advantages.

(9-1) When the optical disc D is accommodated in the disc receiving portion A10 of the disc case A1, the optical disc D is similar in appearance to the outer periphery of the optical disc D and is slightly smaller in appearance. It is received and supported by the support protrusion A12 having a. Since the support projection A12 has an appearance similar to that of the outer circumference of the optical disk D, the user can receive the optical disk D when receiving the optical disk D in the disk receiving portion A10 shown in FIG. 27. Because the front end and the rear end of the back side can be easily recognized, the user does not make a mistake in the direction in which the optical disc D is received.

(9-2) The optical disk D is accommodated by the fixing claws A13 (A13A, A13B) suitable for adjoining the side edges of the optical disk D at the semicircular and circular arc portions of the optical disk D. It is fixed to the part A10. Therefore, the user can use the thumb and the other finger of one hand to touch the side edge of the optical disc D at a position different from the positions where the fixing claws A13 are adjacent to the side edge of the optical disc D. (D) can be taken out from the disk housing portion A10. Since the support protrusion A12 is similar to the outline of the outer circumference of the optical disc D and has a slightly smaller outline and the optical disc D is received by the support protrusion A12, the optical disc D is an optical disc ( It is supported by the support protrusion A12 at the outer peripheral edge of D) and floats from the bottom surface A10A of the disk receiving portion A10. When the user pulls out the optical disk D, the user can touch the end surface and the bottom surface of the optical disk D with one hand's thumb and / or the other finger so that the user can touch the optical disk D with the disk receiving portion. It can be easily lifted from the bottom surface A10A of A10. Therefore, the user can easily take out the optical disk D from the disk receiving portion A10.

(9-3) Since the fixing claws A13 (A13A, A13B) for fixing the optical disk D can be bent, when the optical disk D is accommodated in the disk receiving portion A10, the optical disk ( D) is deflected outward from the disc receiving portion A10. Then a force is applied to push the optical disk D inwards. Therefore, the optical disk D is applied by the downward portions A132B of the fixing claws A13 and is applied by the fixing claws A13 as well as the pressure toward the bottom surface A10A of the disk receiving portion A10. Receive introversion Therefore, the optical disk D can be stably housed in the disk receiving portion A10.

More specifically, the pair of fixing claws A13A arranged on the side of the first arc portion A121 are separated by the same distance from the straight line B, and the pair of fixings arranged on the side of the second arc portion A123. The claws A13B are separated from the straight line B by the same distance. Therefore, when the optical disk D is lifted off the edge of the semicircle or the arc portion and is taken out of the disk receiving portion A10, a pair of fixing claws A13A or A13B positioned close to the edge are used for the optical disk D. Simultaneously separated from the optical disk D can be easily taken out without great burden. In addition, since the fixing force from each of the fixing claws A13A and the fixing claws A13B can be applied to the semicircle portion and the arc portion of the optical disk D, respectively, the optical disk D can be stabilized in the normal position. I can accept it.

(9-6) The pair of fixing claws A13B arranged on the side of the second arc portion A123 is larger than the pair of fixing claws A13A arranged on the side of the first arc portion A121. Are arranged farther from the center line B of Therefore, the pair of fixing claws A13B are optical disks D at both ends of the arc portions of the optical disk D, which are asymmetrical with respect to the semicircle of the optical disk D, as shown with respect to the straight line C3. ), The optical disk D can be more reliably pressed and fixed in the normal position.

(9-7) The two fixed claws A13A arranged on the side of the first circular arc portion A121 of the disk accommodating portion A10 are the midpoints of the fixed claws A13A and the center of the disk accommodating portion A10. The straight lines A connecting the are positioned in a manner orthogonal to each other. With this arrangement, the pressure and force by the fixing claws A13A can be applied to the optical disk D efficiently. Therefore, the shaking of the optical disk D accommodated in the disk receiving portion A10 is suppressed and the optical disk D can be stably received in the disk receiving portion A10.

(9-8) The fixing claws A13A are arranged on the side of the first arc portion so that the angle is 90 ° from the center of the disk receiving portion A10, and the fixing claws A13B are arranged on the side of the second arc portion A123. ) Is further separated from the straight line B than the fixing claws A13A. Using this arrangement, the fixing claws A13A and A13B fix the optical disk D at the four corners of the optical disk D to effectively suppress the shaking of the optical disk D in the disk receiving portion A10. And the optical disk D can be more stably received in the disk receiving portion A10.

In addition, the fixing claws A13A and A13B are arranged along the outer circumference of the optical disk D in such a manner that two neighboring fixing claws are separated by a quarter of the outer circumference of the optical disk D. FIG. Therefore, the optical disc D can be easily taken out in any direction.

In addition, the optical disk D is inserted into the disk receiving portion A10 in such a manner that the fixing claws A13A fix the arc portion of the optical disk D and the fixing claw A13B fixes the semicircle of the optical disk D. If it is located in the opposite direction in, the outer circumference of the optical disk D does not match the positions of the fixing claws A13A, A13B due to the above-described arrangement of the fixing claws A13A, A13B, so that the optical disk ( D) cannot be fixed successfully. Therefore, the optical disc D is prevented from being received in the opposite direction in the disc receiving portion A10.

(9-9) The fixing claws A13A and A13B are arranged substantially parallel to the corresponding engagement positions of the fixing claws A13A and A13B and respective lines in contact with the optical disk D. With this arrangement, each of the fixing claws A13A and A13B is squarely in contact with the end face of the optical disc D so that the fixing force of each of the fixing claws A13A and A13B is effective at the end face of the optical disc D. Can be applied. Therefore, the optical disc D is pressed in the normal position and supported very stable and fixed.

(9-10) The upstanding walls A15 are formed on the disc receiving portion A10 so that the straight portions of the optical disc D accommodated outside the straight portions of the support protrusion 12 and accommodated in the disc receiving portion A10. It is raised from the bottom of the receiving portion (A2) in the position facing each other. The surface of each of the upstanding walls A15 facing the disc receptacle A10 is inclined in a manner closer to the disc receptacle A10 at the base end than to the front end of the disc receptacle A10. Using this arrangement, when the optical disk D is received in the disk receiving portion A10, the optical disk D is guided into the disk receiving portion A10 by the upstanding walls A15 and thus the optical disk D. It is very simple to accept.

In addition, the upstanding walls A15 are formed to follow the straight portions A122 outside the straight portions A122 of the support protrusion A12. Therefore, the user can easily recognize the direction in which the optical disk D is received by the support protrusion A12 or the direction in which the optical disk D is received in the disk receiving portion A10.

In addition, since the upstanding walls A15 are suitable for adjoining the end faces of the optical disk D, the shaking of the optical disk D in the disk receiving portion A10 is suppressed. Therefore, the optical disk D can be accommodated more stably in the disk receiving portion A10.

(9-11) The disk case A1 and the optical disk D constitute an information providing body. Therefore, the disc case A1 having an outer shape that matches the outer shape of the optical disk D and the outer circumference of the optical disk D and having a support protrusion A12 suitable for accommodating the optical disk D securely. It can be commercially distributed to the user as a single informational body.

Therefore, this embodiment has its advantages described below based on the present invention:

Disc receiving body according to the present invention includes a receiving portion for receiving a disk formed by mounting the disk main body in the cabinet; It has a lid part for closing the disc accommodating opening of the accommodating part. The receptacle is a support protrusion that rises from the bottom face of the receptacle along the outer periphery of the cabinet of the disc for supporting the disc, and the disc that rises from the bottom face of the receptacle at the outside of the support protrusion and is accommodated in the receptacle bottom face from the opening side It has a plurality of bendable fastening claws suitable for pressing against the head to hold the disk fixedly in the normal position and apply an inward force to the disk. The size of the support protrusion is smaller than the size of the outer circumference of the disc.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the disc accommodated in the receiving portion of the disc receiving body is supported by the supporting protrusions formed along the outer circumference of the disc and pressed against the bottom surface of the receiving portion and supported by the fixing claws in the normal position. With this arrangement, the user can place the finger on the end face of the disc from any point in the receptacle except for the points where the fixed claws are arranged so that the user can easily take out the disc received in the receptacle.

Since the size of the support protrusion is smaller than the size of the outer circumference of the disk, the user can easily place one of the fingers on the end face of the disk when removing the disk contained in the receiving portion.

More specifically, the user can place one of the fingers on the surface area of the disk extending from the distal end to the bottom surface of the disk when the disk is removed from the receptacle so that the user can easily lift the disk up. Therefore, the user can very easily remove the disk from the receptacle.

In addition, the disc accommodated in the receptacle by the pliable fixing claws is stably received in the receptacle under pressure directed toward the bottom of the receptacle and inwardly directed against the disc.

Preferably, in the present invention, the support protrusion has a pair of straight portions substantially parallel to each other, a semicircular first circular arc portion connecting the corresponding ends of the straight portions and having a diameter equal to the distance between the pair of straight portions, and And a second arc portion positioned on a straight line passing through the midpoint between the first arc portion and the pair of straight portions and having a center at a point located outside the first arc portion. The plurality of fixed claws are arranged substantially symmetrically with respect to the line connecting the midpoint of the first arc portion and the midpoint of the second arc portion.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the fixing claws are arranged substantially symmetrically with respect to the line connecting the midpoint of the edge of the first arc portion and the midpoint of the edge of the second arc portion, so that the disc accommodated in the accommodating portion is stably received in the accommodating portion. Secured by fixing claws as much as possible. Therefore, even if the disc has an asymmetrical appearance, the disc can be stably received in the receiving portion.

Preferably, in the present invention, two fixing claws are arranged on the first arc side and two fixing claws are arranged on the second arc side.

Therefore, according to the invention, two fixing claws are arranged on the first arc side and two fixing claws are arranged on the second arc side so that the disc is forced inwardly by each of the fixing claws. Therefore, the force applied to the disk is received in the normal position very stably toward the center of the disk.

In addition, since the fixed claws are arranged symmetrically with respect to the line connecting the midpoint of the edge of the first arc portion and the midpoint of the edge of the second arc portion, the disk receives an evenly applied force from the fixed claws. As a result, the disc is very stably received in the disc receiving portion.

In addition, the two fixing claws arranged on the side of the first arc and the two fixing claws arranged on the side of the second arc are substantially relative to the center line connecting the midpoint of the edge of the first arc and the edge of the second arc. It is symmetrical. On the other hand, the pair of fixing claws arranged on the first arc side and the pair of fixing claws arranged on the second arc side are separated by substantially the same distance from the center line. Using this arrangement, when the disc is lifted at the edge of the disc positioned on the first arc portion or the second arc portion, the disc is simultaneously separated from a pair of fastening claws arranged on the raised edge side. Therefore, the burden applied locally to the disk is reduced compared to the case where the disk is separated from the fixed claws one by one, and the force acting on the disk when the disk is separated from the fixed claws corresponds to two separate fixed claws. Is distributed at the edge of the disc. Therefore, the disc is prevented from being burdened locally and can be ejected very easily.

In addition, the distance between the pair of anchoring claws arranged on the first arc side is substantially the same as the distance between the pair of anchoring claws arranged on the second arc side and the user's thumb and / or fingers If one of the side portions is raised by placing one on both side portions of the circumferential edge of the disc located on a line perpendicular to the centerline, the disc is arranged in two pairs of fastening claws arranged on the first and second arc side. From two of the fixing claws at the same time. Therefore, the local burden applied to the disk can be suppressed regardless of the direction in which the disk is ejected. Then, when the disc is ejected, the burden applied to the disc is distributed and suppressed, while at the same time the disc can be taken out very easily.

Preferably, in the present invention, the distance separating the pair of fixing claws arranged on the first circular arc side is smaller than the distance separating the pair of fixing claws arranged on the second circular arc side.

Therefore, according to the present invention, the pair of fixed claws arranged on the side of the second circular arc is located outside the pair of fixed claws arranged on the side of the first circular arc relative to the center line of the disk. Suppose a disk is divided into two regions by a straight line perpendicular to the line passing through the center of the disk and connecting the midpoint of the semicircle edge and the midpoint of the arc edge. The circular arc side then has a larger area than the semicircular side. Using the above arrangement, a pair of fixing claws arranged in the second circular arc portion can stably press and hold the disk. As pointed out above, when the disc is divided by a line orthogonal to the centerline, the disc's semicircle and arc portion are asymmetrical to each other and the arc portion has a larger area than the semicircle portion. When the pair of fixed claws arranged on the second circular arc side are separated from each other by a distance greater than the distance separating the pair of fixed claws arranged on the first circular arc side, the fixed claws arranged on the second circular arc side Fixing the disk at a position closer to the circular arc of the disk in a line orthogonal to the center line, as compared with the case where the distance between the pair of fixed claws arranged on the first arc side is smaller than the distance separating the pair of fixed claws. Therefore, it is possible to press the disk stably and to support it fixedly.

Preferably, in the present invention, the pair of fixed claws arranged on the side of the first arc portion is positioned such that the lines connecting the center of rotation of the disk fixed by the fixed claws and the fixed claws form substantially 90 °. have.

According to the invention, therefore, each of the fixing claws arranged in two positions on the side of the first arc portion is suitable for generating a force toward the center of the disk. If the two fixing claws arranged on the side of the first circular arc are located at respective positions closer to the midpoint of the edge of the first circular arc of the supporting protrusion, the angle is perpendicular to the line connecting the midpoint of the first circular arc and the middle of the second circular arc. The force for suppressing the shaking of the disk in the phosphorus direction is weakened. On the other hand, if the two fixing claws are located at respective positions closer to both ends of the edge of the first arc portion of the supporting protrusion, the direction of parallel with the line connecting the midpoint of the first arc portion and the second arc portion is The force for suppressing the movement of the disc is weakened. In contrast, when the two fixed claws are positioned such that the lines connecting the fixed claws and the center of rotation of the fixed claws form substantially 90 °, the movement in the orthogonal and parallel directions is effectively suppressed so that the disc is in the receiving portion. It can be stably received.

The two fixed claws arranged on the side of the first circular arc have a line connecting the center of rotation of the disk fixed by the fixed claws and the fixed claws to form 90 ° and the two fixed claws arranged on the second circular arc A distance separating the pair of fixed claws arranged on the first arc portion and a distance arranged on the second arc portion when separated from each other by a distance larger than the distance separating the pair of fixed claws arranged on the first arc side. The distance separating the fixed claws of the pair can be increased. Then, the disc can be easily taken out in the direction orthogonal to the centerline of the disc and in the direction parallel to the centerline, which makes it very easy to take the disc out of the receiving portion.

Preferably, each of the fastening claws is arranged substantially parallel to the line tangent to the corresponding arc of the disc at the fastening position.

Therefore, according to the present invention, since each of the fixing claws is arranged substantially parallel to the line tangent to the corresponding arc of the disk at the fixing position, it is arranged facing the end face of the disk and the end face of the disk and fixing the disk. The surfaces of the stationary claws look square to each other. Therefore, the fixing force of the fixing claw effectively acts on the corresponding portion of the edge of the disk, making it possible to press the disk in the normal position and to stably support it.

Additionally, two fastening claws are arranged on the first arc side and the other two fastening claws are arranged on the second arc side of the support projection to fix the disk and the fastening claws arranged on the second arc side are arranged in the first arc. When separated further from the centerline connecting the midpoint of the edge of the first arc and the midpoint of the edge of the second arc than the fastening claws arranged on the side, it is received in the receptacle and is symmetric about the centerline and passes through the center of the disc. It is possible to stably fix an asymmetric disc on a line perpendicular to the centerline. In addition, using this arrangement, when the disc is removed from the receptacle by lifting at the end of the disc located in a direction perpendicular to the centerline, the disc is located close to the end of the disc and in contact with the corresponding arcs of the optical disc. It is separated with a time delay from two fixed claws arranged substantially parallel to each line. Then, one of the fixing claws is detached from the disk and the other fixing claw acts to tilt the disk so that the disk can be ejected, so that the disk can be gently removed from the disk receiving portion with little force. You can then eject the disc very easily.

Preferably, the pair of disk guides respectively rise from the bottom surface of the receiving portion along the pair of straight portions outside of the support protrusion to guide the disk.

Therefore, according to the present invention, when the disc is accommodated in the accommodating part, the disc accommodating part is guided so that the operation of accommodating the disc can be done very simply and easily.

For example, the fixing claws A13A and A13B may be arranged such that the fixing claws A13A and the fixing claws A13B are spaced apart from the straight line B by the same distance. Using this arrangement, when the optical disk D is taken out from the disk housing portion A10, the optical disk D is lifted regardless of the direction in which the optical disk D is taken out of the disk housing portion A10. It is separated from two fixing claws A13A or A13A and A13B which are located close to the raised position. Therefore, the optical disk D is prevented from being locally burdened according to the appearance of the optical disk. The optical disc can then be easily taken out of the disc receiving portion.

The intersection angle of the fixed claws A13A and the straight lines A passing through the center of the disk receiving portion A10 may be smaller or larger than 90 °. Optionally, two fixing claws A13A may be arranged at the midpoint of the first arc portion A121 and the midpoint of the second arc portion A123 of the support projection A12 of the disc receiving portion A10, respectively. .

However, when the fixing claws A13A, A13B are arranged in respective positions described in connection with the above-described embodiment, the force exerted by the fixing claws A13A, A13B is effectively applied to the optical disk D. It can be applied to stably receive the optical disk D in the disk receiving portion A10 and to easily remove the optical disk D from the disk containing portion A10.

The fixing claws A13 (A13A, A13B) rise from the receiving portion A2 and are inclined as described in the ninth embodiment, while the present invention provides that the fixing claws only need to fix the optical disk D.
