Description

The present invention relates to a flexible disk container which

  The flexible disk container of the present invention provides excellent storage of the flexible disks and allows smooth and easy insertion of the disks. The bag-like bladder containers are traditional and consist of a flat-shaped plastic sheet having a backside covered with double-sided tape or the like and a flexible plastic film of approximately square shape which is attached to the plastic sheet along three sides or edges to leave one side of the free plastic film of the plastic sheet to define an insertion opening at an intermediate position of the plate-shaped plastic sheet to use the conventional flexible disk container, peelable paper is removed from the double-sided adhesive tape which is adhered to the back side of the plastic sheet, the plastic sheet is adhered to a board such as a binder and a disk

  flexible is inserted through the insertion opening.

  However, when the workbook or the analog to which the floppy disk container is attached is returned, the floppy disk contained and held in the container slides out of the container, which can damage or cause loss of the floppy disk. floppy disk can be important because floppy disks are of great value in that they often contain important information. When the size of the insertion opening of the floppy container is large, it is easy to insert and remove the floppy disk from the container but the floppy disk will also easily slip out of the container during handling. the insertion opening of the floppy container is small, it is difficult for the floppy disk to inadvertently exit the container but it is also difficult to insert and

to remove it from the container.

  As a result, nowadays, almost all conventional flexible disk containers can not offer both a satisfactory storage capability and a satisfactory insertion capability of the floppy disk. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a flexible disk container for reliably storing the flexible disk by preventing it from sliding outwardly and allowing easy and regular insertion and removal of the flexible disk. the present invention provides a flexible disk container having stops which are formed just above where the top edge of the flexible disk and an elongated ridge to separate the top edge of the disk from the back plate of the container. for flexible disk. The invention will be better understood and other purposes, features, details

  and benefits of it will become clearer during the description

  explanatory text which will follow with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings given solely by way of example illustrating an embodiment of the invention and in which: FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container for a flexible disk according to the invention; ; Fig. 2 is a rear view of the flexible disk container; and Fig. 3 is a front view of a number of containers for

flexible disk in use.

  As can be clearly seen, reference numeral 1 represents a flexible disk container of the present invention and 2 represents a flexible disk The container 1 consists of a plate 3 formed of a plastic sheet or a sheet in synthetic resin having a double-sided adhesive tape which is applied to its back side, and a flexible plastic film or film of flexible plastic resin 5 of a suitable square shape The plastic film 5 is fixed to the plate 3 by a covering three edges of the film on the left, right and bottom edges of the plate 3, and by welding and gluing them to the plate 3 The remaining edge (or fourth edge or upper edge) of the plastic film 5 is disposed at the middle part of the plate 3 but it is not glued to it This construction gives a portion in the form of a bag containing a

  flexible disk having an open portion upward 5 a.

  The plate 3 has two abutments 3a, of a thickness of about 3mm, which are formed at positions corresponding to the upper edge 2a of the flexible disk 2 when the flexible disk 2 is inserted through the open portion 5a of the film. Plastic or portion 5 containing the flexible disk An elongate and projecting ridge portion 3b is formed parallel to the open portion 5a of the plastic film 5 at a position between the abutments 3a and the open portion Sa Ridge 3b for role or function of separating the upper edge 2a of the flexible disk 2 from a front surface of the plate 3 According to the embodiment of the present invention, the abutments 3a and the crest 3b are integrally formed when the plate 3 However, the present invention is not restricted to this construction. In another embodiment of the present invention, the abutments 3a and the crest 3b are manufactured separately from the plate 3 and then fixed.

or glued to the plate 3.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the double-sided adhesive tapes 4 are applied to the high and low positions of the rear face of the plate 3 and, if necessary, peelable papers are attached to the double adhesive tapes.

  face to facilitate the handling of the container 1 of the present invention.

  Alternatively, it is possible to paint a liquid or adhesive agent on the

back side of the plate 3.

  According to the present invention, a plurality of flexible disk containers 1 are glued or applied, as shown in FIG. 3, on a board 7 of a filing cabinet 6 and a plurality of flexible discs 2 can be inserted into the containers 1 with the upper edges 2a. soft discs 2 abutting against

  stops 3a to reliably retain the discs 2 in the containers 1.

  It should be noted that the disc 2 inserted and held in the container 1 of the present invention does not slip out of the container 1 because the upper edge 2 of the flexible disc 2 is abutting against the stops 3 a Moreover, it is easy the user to take or hold the upper edge 2a of the flexible disk 2 between his fingers and to release the disk 2 from the container 1 because a space is formed between the upper edge 2a of the disk 2 contained in the

  container 1 and the plate 3, thanks to the ridge 3b which is provided.

  Although the flexible disk container of the embodiment

  In accordance with the present invention, it is possible, as shown in FIG. 3, to glue a certain number of plastic films to a large plate and to leave the upper edges of the films open in order to obtain a number of bags (or containers for floppy disk)

  to respectively contain the flexible disks 2.

  In addition, although the container 1 of the present invention has been described as being useful for holding flexible disks, it is not restricted to such use. On the contrary, the flexible disk container 1 can also be used for various other purposes. goods, such as integrated circuit cards or

  the like, or packaged coins or tokens or the like.

  As previously described in detail, according to the present invention, a bag-shaped flexible disk container comprises a plate and a plastic film which is attached to a front face of the plate. The plastic film which is glued to the plate at its lower and lateral edges but its upper edge is not glued to the plate Therefore, the upper edge provided that it is placed between the upper and lower edges of the plate, defines an opening for the insertion of a flexible disk stops are mounted on an upper portion of the front face of the plate, just above the insertion opening, to abut against the upper edge of the flexible disk contained in the container in this manner , a flexible disk contained in the container can be securely held in place if the

container is returned.

  An elongate protruding or ridge portion is formed on the plate at a position between the insertion opening and the stops to cause formation of a gap between the upper edge of the flexible disk contained in the container and the plate. the upper edge or the side of the flexible disk can be easily picked up by means of the fingers of a user and removed from the portion containing it. In addition, when an adhesive means such as a coating or a double-sided tape is applied to the rear face of the plate, it is possible to stick the flexible disk container in any desired place as a binder, a

notebook or the like.

  Accordingly, according to the present invention, the problem of a conventional flexible disk container, wherein when the container insertion opening is large, the flexible disk is easy to insert and remove but can easily slide out of the container. container and, on the contrary, when the size of the insertion opening is small, the flexible disk can not fall out of the container but it is difficult to insert and remove the container, could be solved In addition, the present invention allows both good storage and easy insertion of the flexible disk In other words, the present invention not only provides reliable storage of the flexible disk but also allows the

  easy insertion of the floppy disk into its container.
