Box for storing a video cassette or similar items

The invention relates to a box for storing a video cassette or other objects _f which box contains an outer printed envelope made of a plastic film and an insert connected to this envelope / which consists essentially of two partially fitting and snapping receiving parts which parts are used to contain the cassette or other items / when the envelope and the associated insert is folded shut.

Such boxes are grounded to protect the sensitive video cassettes used in large numbers and by the

Il I <I

Purchased separately for users of the cassettes.

In order to give the cassettes the required strength / are placed between the interconnected edges of the Envelope and the insert sheets from z. B. arranged stiff cardboard.

This not only makes the production more cumbersome and thus the box more expensive / but also leads to / that the video cassette or the other object cannot be perceived from the outside. Video cassette suppliers therefore do not use such boxes when selling their products.

The aim of the invention is to design a box of the type described so that the cassette can be recognized from the outside can and the production price of such a box is reduced so far / that it is for manufacturers and suppliers of video cassettes is cheap / to pack these cassettes immediately in such a box / because such boxes then can be used in general.

According to the invention, this is achieved / that the envelope is made of a transparent medium-hard plastic film exists / is at least partially printed / in such a way that at least one window remains free / through which window a part of a cassette arranged in the box can be observed / for what purpose also the insert made of transparent plastic film is.

Part of a video can therefore pass through the window The cassette / on which the most important data is printed / so that this data is not on the Box mentioned and all different cassettes can be packed in the same boxes. By using the relatively stiff, medium-hard plastic film, cardboard cover sheets can be dispensed with so that they cannot interfere with the observation of the cassette arranged in the box. This simplifies also the production of the boxes. But it is possible / cover sheets made of transparent material instead of the cardboard sheets to use.

Expediently, that side of the transparent film is printed / which afterwards forms the inside of the envelope. This has the advantage / that the printing is not damaged and, if the cassette is used intensively, not gradually after can be wiped out. One difficulty, however, is / that some inks produce a good one Can prevent adhesion between the envelope and the insert / so that the specified measure is not necessarily can be used in all cases.

Although the box described above can also be used to store z. B. Photographs and notes could be used / this will generally not be done. On the one hand, the dimensions of the photographs do not match the main dimensions a cassette match and on the other hand, the photographs can be in the two recording parts are located. When opening a box, they can then fall out of one of the parts.

According to the invention, the receiving part / that is on the wall that forms the rear wall when the box is opened is arranged / designed in such a way / that it can be partially received in the other receiving part and then extends to the opposite wall * All photographs will be in only one insert and when the box is closed / the overhead photograph is placed in front of one in the other wall Window.

However, to the box immediately for the storage of photographs to make suitable / a separate auxiliary insert is used according to the present invention / which is clamped in the Receiving part of a box can be pressed and is provided with a space for storing photographs / which Space has the dimensions desired for certain photographs.

In this way it is possible / an already existing box is immediately suitable for storing photographs to be done by arranging the auxiliary insert in the box.

Exemplary embodiments of the invention are described in more detail with the aid of the drawing. Show it:

In the figures, parts that match are provided with the same reference numbers. The ones shown in the drawing Boxes comprise an envelope 1 made of a transparent medium-hard plastic film / the one with a printed image is provided / which will generally comprise at least two colors, namely a base color 3 and one on top appearing image from the color 4. The print image 2 is arranged in such a way that at least one Window 5 remains free.

As shown in particular in FIG. 2, an insert 6 is connected to the envelope 1, which is also made of a transparent one Plastic film is made and the flat part 7 and the upstanding edges 8 comprises / of which only one is shown in FIG. The part 7 is connected to the envelope 1 by means of a weld seam 9. This can done in such a way that the printed image 2 is on the inside of the envelope 1 and thus off the film 6 is protected and cannot be damaged.

The upstanding edges 8 are used to hold a video cassette, when this is placed in the box - by folding the envelope around the fold lines 10.

As indicated in Figure 3 / can in the spine 11 of the envelope

a second window 12 could be arranged and one or more windows could also be arranged in the other part of the envelope will.

Fig. 4 shows the part of an auxiliary insert 13, the one somewhat inclined side wall 14 comprises / by means of which the auxiliary insert 13 between the edges 8 of the insert 6 can be clamped. The protruding part of the side wall 14 merges by means of a surface part 15 inwardly extending wall 16 over / to which the bottom 17 of the auxiliary insert 13 is connected.

In the walls 14/15 and 16 recesses can be arranged locally / so that the photographs or notes easily can be removed from the auxiliary insert 13. To further facilitate this / is the bottom 17 of the auxiliary insert 13 arranged at a certain height above the lower edge of the side wall 14 / although this is of course is not absolutely necessary.

It will be clear / that / as already mentioned above / no separate auxiliary insert 13 needs to be used / however that this insert could make up part of the insert 6.

The medium-hard plastic film can, for. B. a PVC film with a thickness between 0/3 and 0/5 mm and in particular a thickness of 0/4 mm.
