Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明はＣＤ、ＤＶＤ、ゲームソフト等の円盤状記録媒体を収容し、安定して取付けられると共に容易に取外しすることが出来るカバーケースに関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
ＣＤ等の円盤状記録媒体はその外形を薄い円盤形とし、中心には小さな円形穴が貫通して設けられている。そして、該円盤状記録媒体は厚さの薄いカバーケースに収納されているが、該カバーケースはベース側最広面を持つ箱型形状の本体とカバー側最広面を持つ蓋から成っている。蓋は繋ぎ部を介して本体に繋がっていて、本体を被覆することが出来る。勿論、上記繋ぎ部を持たないカバーケースもあり、又引出し型式で本体が引き出されるような形態のカバーケースもある。
【０００３】
ところで、円盤状記録媒体は本体のベース中央部に突出して設けられる保持部が円盤状記録媒体の中央に設けている穴に嵌ることで取付けられる。該保持部の形態は色々知られているが、穴に嵌って取付けられた円盤状記録媒体がガタ付くことなく安定し、勿論、外れることなく、しかし、取外す際には取外し易いように機能することが求められる。
【０００４】
特許公表２００２−５３９５７８号に係る「コンパクトディスクの保持装置」は、「基部と該基部から弾性的に片持ち形成され、且つ内方に延在した半径方向アームと、ディスクの中央孔を開放可能に係合し、且つ基部から離間させてディスクの中央部分を支持する為に、アームの内方端部に形成されたディスク係合手段とを備えている。そして各アームは、基部と結合する領域に位置決めされた第１回動手段と、第１回動手段から半径方向内側に位置決めされた第２回動手段とを有している。ディスク係合手段を基部に向けて押下げることにより、各アームの内方端部とディスクの中央部分とが基部に向けて押下げられ、各アームは初めに第１回動手段を中心として回動し、続いてディスク係合手段によるディスクの保持力が開放されるまで第２回動手段を中心として回動する。」ように構成している。
【０００５】
ディスクはその中央孔に係合手段が係合して取付けられるが、該ディスクを取外す際に穴に係合している係合手段を上方から押圧して該穴から離脱させる必要があるが、係合手段を押圧すると同時にディスクに負荷が作用して撓み変形する。その結果、ディスクを取出す際に破損してしまうといった問題が時々発生する。しかし、取外し易くする為に、係合手段がディスク中央穴にあまく嵌って係合するようにすれば、収納状態のディスクが独りでに外れてしまう。
【０００６】
このような問題は、上記特許公表２００２−５３９５７８号に係る「コンパクトディスクの保持装置」に限らず、特表２０００−５０８９９７号に係る「コンパクトディスクを保持する為の装置」、特表平１０−５０２５９９号に係る「コンパクトディスクを保持する装置」の場合も同じような問題として発生する。
【０００７】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
このように、従来の円盤状記録媒体のカバーケースには上記のごとき問題がある。本発明が解決しようとする課題はこの問題点であり、収納した円盤状記録媒体がガタ付くことなく安定し、しかも無理をかけることなく取外し出来るレンタル又は販売用記録媒体のカバーケースを提供する。
【０００８】
【課題を解決する為の手段】
本発明に係る「レンタル又は販売用記録媒体のカバーケース」は、本体と蓋から成り、蓋は円盤状記録媒体を収容した本体を被覆することが出来、具体的な形態は問わない。本体のベース中央部には受け台座が突出して設けられ、コンパクトディスク等の円盤状記録媒体の中央部が載置される。受け台座を中心として所々に切欠き部を有す外周縁がベースから突出して設けられ、円盤状記録媒体の外周はこの外周縁に載って支持される。
【０００９】
そして上記受け台座の載置面中央には２本のスリット溝が所定の間隔をおいて形成され、両スリット溝にて挟まれて形成された両アームの先端には係合凸部を有し、該係合凸部は円盤状記録媒体の中央穴に係合する。しかも、必要に応じて係合凸部には係合ツメが対を成して起立し、該係合ツメはアームから延びて設けられている。係合ツメは係合凸部の一部を切欠いた箇所に設けられて独立して撓み、しかし、係合凸部と共に円盤状記録媒体の中央穴に嵌る。ここで、スリット溝は２本に限らずそれ以上設けることで、３本以上のアームを設けることも出来る。
【００１０】
ところで、円盤状記録媒体は上記受け台座に載置され、係合凸部は円盤状記録媒体の中央穴に嵌って係合する。上記係合ツメを設けた場合には、両係合ツメが係合凸部と共に中央穴に係合して円盤状記録媒体は受け台座から外れることなく固定される。ツメを備えない場合には、必要に応じて何らかの外れ防止手段を講じることがある。そして、固定されている円盤状記録媒体を取外す際には、上記係合凸部を上方から押圧するならばアームが下方へ撓んで穴から外れる。
【００１１】
この際、円盤状記録媒体は受け台座の載置面に載って支持されている為に撓み変形することはない。又、円盤状記録媒体の外周を摘んで引くことも出来るが、係合凸部はアーム先端に形成されることで、受け台座とは独立して変形することが出来る為に、円盤状記録媒体に無理を掛けることなく穴から外れる。特に、係合ツメを設けている場合には取外し易い。以下、本発明に係る実施例を図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。
【００１２】
【実施例】
図１は本発明に係る記録媒体のカバーケースを示す実施例であり、１は本体、２は蓋を示している。本体１はベース側最広面を持つ箱型形状を成し、蓋２はカバー側最広面を有し、そして、蓋２は繋ぎ部３を介して本体１に繋がっていて、該本体１を被覆することが出来る。本体１のベース面４の中央部には受け台座５を突出し、該受け台座５を中心として外周縁６を突出して設け、該外周縁６の４箇所には切欠き部７，７・・が形成されている。
【００１３】
そして上記受け台座５の載置面１３にはアーム８ａ，８ｂが形成され、受け台座５とはスリット溝９，９にて切り離されていて、アーム先端には概略半円柱の係合凸部１０ａ，１０ｂを突出している。そこで、係合凸部１０ａ，１０ｂの間には収縮出来るように隙間が介在しているが、組み合わされて高さの低い円柱となり、該係合凸部１０ａ，１０ｂはディスク中央穴に嵌って係合する。又、繋ぎ部側にはベース面４から外れ防止ツメ１１が起立し、該ツメ１１の先端は外周縁６の一部が切欠かれた箇所に位置し、外周縁６に載置されたディスク外周に係止することが出来、蓋２が閉じられるならば該外れ防止ツメ１１の背後が押圧されて外れないようになる。
【００１４】
図２(ａ)は受け台座５を示しているが、アーム８ａ，８ｂは受け台座５からスリット溝９，９によって切り離されている為に、係合凸部１０ａ，１０ｂを押圧するならば撓み変形することが出来る。図２(ｂ)にはディスク１２が受け台座５に取付けられた状態の断面を示しているが、該ディスク１２は受け台座５の載置面１３に載置されると共に、係合凸部１０ａ，１０ｂはディスク１２の中央穴に嵌って係合する。
【００１５】
ディスク１２は係合凸部１０ａ，１０ｂが中央穴に嵌るように受け台座５に載せられるが、図３の(ａ)はディスク１２を受け台座５に載置して取付ける場合である。ディスク１２が受け台座５に載置される場合、係合凸部１０ａ，１０ｂの縁がディスク中央穴の内周面に当って押下げられ、同図のようにアーム８ａ，８ｂは撓み変形する。その結果、係合凸部１０ａ，１０ｂは収縮して中央穴に嵌ることが出来る。両係合凸部１０ａ，１０ｂ間には僅かな隙間が介在している為に、このように収縮することが出来る。
【００１６】
中央穴に嵌った状態は図２(ｂ)に示している状態であって、アーム８ａ，８ｂが元の位置に戻って、一旦収縮した係合凸部１０ａ，１０ｂが拡大するならば、中央穴に嵌合する。このように、アーム８ａ，８ｂが撓み変形することで、ディスク１２に無理をかけることなく受け台座５に取付けることが出来る。そして、ディスク外周は外周縁６に載って支持されるが、外周縁６にはディスク外周を支持する支持面を有している。
【００１７】
逆に、ディスク１２を受け台座５から取外す場合、図3の(ｂ)に示すように、係合凸部１０ａ，１０ｂを上方から押圧する。押圧するならば、アーム８ａ，８ｂが撓み変形して係合凸部１０ａ，１０ｂは収縮する。この場合、ディスク１２は受け台座5の載置面１３に載っていて、係合凸部１０ａ，１０ｂを押圧してもディスク１２の中央部が撓むことはない。
【００１８】
そして、一旦係合凸部１０ａ，１０ｂが収縮してディスク中央穴から外れるならば、再び中央穴に嵌ることはなく、ディスク１２は簡単に取外される。ディスク１２の中央部が受け台座５に載って取付けられる場合、ディスク外周は本体１のベース面４に突出して設けられる外周縁６に載って支持される。そして、外周縁６の所々には切欠き部７，７・・が形成されている為に、該切欠き部７に指を入れてディスク１２を持ち上げて取外すことも可能である。
【００１９】
図４はディスク１２を受け台座５に載せて取付け、その外周は外周縁６に載って支持されるが、外れ防止の為に設けた外れ防止ツメ１１がディスク１２の外周に係止している場合を示している。ディスク外周は外周縁６に載って支持されると共に、同図に示すようにベース面４に起立する外れ防止ツメ１１に係止する。そして、蓋２が閉じられるならば、繋ぎ部３に突出して設けている押え片１４が該外れ防止ツメ１１の背面に当接して支えることが出来、ディスク１２は独りでに係合凸部１０ａ，１０ｂから外れることはない。ここで、上記押え片１４は必ずしも繋ぎ部３に設ける必要はなく、カバーケースの形態によっては蓋自体に形成することも出来る。
【００２０】
図５は本発明に係る円盤状記録媒体のカバーケースを示す他の実施例である。基本的な形態は図１に示すカバーケースと同じであって、本体１はベース側最広面を持つ箱型形状を成し、蓋２はカバー側最広面を有し、そして、蓋２は繋ぎ部３を介して本体１に繋がっていて、該本体１を被覆することが出来る。本体１のベース面４の中央部には受け台座５を突出し、該受け台座５を中心として外周縁６を突出して設け、該外周縁６の４箇所には切欠き部７，７・・が形成されている。
【００２１】
図６は図５に示すカバーケースの受け台座５の拡大図であり、平面図を表している。アーム１５ａ，１５ｂは受け台座５の載置面１３からスリット溝１６，１６によって切り離され、アーム先端には係合凸部１７ａ，１７ｂを突出している。そして該係合凸部１７ａ，１７ｂは軟質樹脂にて繋がれているが、対を成して起立する係合ツメ１８ａ，１８ｂを有し、係合ツメ１８ａ，１８ｂは係合凸部１７ａ，１７ｂの一部としてアームから延びているが、係合ツメ１８ａ，１８ｂはアーム１５ａ，１５ｂとは独立して撓むことが出来る。
【００２２】
そして、この受け台座５には、係合ツメ１８ａ，１８ｂが係合凸部１７ａ，１７ｂに形成した切欠き部に位置して起立し、しかし該アーム１５ａ，１５ｂとは独立して撓み変形してディスク１２の中央穴に係止することが出来る。ところで、ディスク１２を受け台座５に載せて押圧するならば、図７(ａ)に示すように係合凸部１７ａ，１７ｂと対を成して起立している係合ツメ１８ａ，１８ｂは撓んで中央穴に嵌り、ディスク１２が外れないように係止する。
【００２３】
係合ツメ１８ａ，１８ｂはアーム１５ａ，１５ｂとは独立して撓み変形することが出来る為に、ディスク中央穴に簡単に嵌って係止することが出来る。すなわち、図８の(ａ)はディスク１２を受け台座５に載置して取付ける場合である。ディスク１２が受け台座５に載置される場合、係合ツメ１８ａ，１８ｂの先がディスク中央穴の内周面に当って押下げられ、同図のようにアーム１５ａ，１５ｂは撓み変形する。その結果、係合凸部１７ａ，１７ｂ、及び係合ツメ１８ａ，１８ｂは収縮して中央穴に嵌ることが出来る。両係合凸部１７ａ，１７ｂ間には僅かな隙間が介在している為に、このように収縮することが出来る。
【００２４】
逆に、ディスク１２を外す場合には、図８(ｂ)に示すように、中央穴に嵌って係合凸部１７ａ，１７ｂを押圧するならば、アーム１５ａ，１５ｂが撓み変形し、同時に係合ツメ１８ａ，１８ｂも係合凸部１７ａ，１７ｂと共に中心側へ移動して中央穴から外れる。中央穴から一旦外されるならば、係合凸部１７ａ，１７ｂから指を離して元の位置に戻しても、再び中央穴に係合することはない。
【００２５】
ところで、上記実施例のディスク収納ケースは本体と蓋からなって、該蓋は繋ぎ部を介して連結した形態としているが、本発明のカバーケースの形態は限定しないことにする。
【００２６】
図９はカバーケースを示す別形態を示しているが、繋ぎ部を持たずに蓋を開閉可能としている。例えば、肉厚を薄くしたヒンジを形成したり、又は軸ピンを介して連結することが出来る。図１０は本体１が蓋ケース１９に収納することが出来る。勿論、本体には受け台座及び外周縁がベース面から突出して形成されることは同じである。
【００２７】
以上述べたように、本発明のカバーケースは本体のベース面中央部に、ディスク中央部が載置されると共に中央穴に嵌る係合凸部を突出して設けた受け台座を設け、該受け台座を中心としてディスク外周が支持される外周縁を突出して設けたものであり、次のような効果を得ることが出来る。
【００２８】
【発明の効果】
本発明のカバーケースは本体に設けた受け台座には円盤状記録媒体の中央部が載置され、外周縁には外周が載って支持される。そして、受け台座には対を成したアームを有すと共に先端には係合凸部を起立している。アームは受け台座の載置面とはスリット溝を介して分離している為に、該アームは自由に撓み変形することが出来る。
【００２９】
そこで、ディスクを取付ける場合、係合凸部が中央穴に当って押下げられるならば、アームは撓んで両係合凸部は収縮して中央穴に嵌まることが出来る。逆に、円盤状記録媒体を取外す際には、穴に嵌っている係合凸部を押圧することで、アームは撓んで係合凸部は収縮すると共に中央穴から離脱する。この際、ディスクは受け台座の載置面に載って支えられている為に湾曲することはなく、ディスクの破損が防止される。そして、係合凸部に係合ツメを設けることで、ディスクの着脱が一段とスムーズになると共に、取付けられたディスクは安定する。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a cover case that accommodates a disk-shaped recording medium such as a CD, DVD, and game software, is stably mounted, and can be easily removed.
[0002]
[Prior art]
A disk-shaped recording medium such as a CD has a thin disk shape, and a small circular hole is provided at the center thereof. The disc-shaped recording medium is housed in a thin cover case, which comprises a box-shaped main body having a base-side widest surface and a lid having a cover-side widest surface. The lid is connected to the main body through the connecting portion, and can cover the main body. Of course, there is a cover case without the above-mentioned connecting portion, and there is also a cover case in which the main body is pulled out in a drawer type.
[0003]
By the way, the disc-shaped recording medium is mounted by fitting a holding portion projecting from the center of the base of the main body into a hole provided in the center of the disc-shaped recording medium. Although various forms of the holding portion are known, the disk-shaped recording medium fitted by being fitted in the hole is stable without rattling, and, of course, does not come off, but functions so that it can be easily removed at the time of removal. Is required.
[0004]
The “compact disc holding device” according to Patent Publication No. 2002-359578 is “a compact base that is elastically cantilevered from the base and can open a central hole of the disc. And a disk engaging means formed at an inner end of the arm for engaging the disk and supporting the central portion of the disk at a distance from the base, and each arm is coupled to the base. A first rotating means positioned in the region, and a second rotating means positioned radially inward from the first rotating means, by pushing down the disk engaging means toward the base. The inner end of each arm and the central portion of the disk are pushed down toward the base, and each arm first rotates about the first rotating means, and then holds the disk by the disk engaging means. Until the power is released Rotating the second rotating means around. "Are configured so.
[0005]
The disk is mounted with the engaging means engaged with the central hole, but when removing the disk, it is necessary to press the engaging means engaged with the hole from above to disengage from the hole, At the same time as the engaging means is pressed, a load acts on the disk to bend and deform. As a result, a problem that the disk is damaged when the disk is removed sometimes occurs. However, if the engaging means is fitted into the central hole of the disk so as to be easily engaged with the disk, the disk in the housed state is detached by itself.
[0006]
Such a problem is not limited to the “compact disc holding device” according to the above-mentioned Patent Publication No. 2002-395578, the “device for holding a compact disc” according to Japanese Patent Publication No. 2000-508997, and A similar problem also occurs in the case of the "device for holding a compact disc" according to Japanese Patent No. 502599.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
As described above, the conventional disk-shaped recording medium cover case has the above-described problem. The problem to be solved by the present invention is this problem. To provide a cover case for a rental or sales recording medium, in which the stored disk-shaped recording medium is stable without rattling and can be removed without excessive force.
[0008]
[Means for solving the problem]
The “cover case for a rental or sales recording medium” according to the present invention includes a main body and a lid. The lid can cover the main body containing the disc-shaped recording medium, and the specific form is not limited. At the center of the base of the main body, a receiving pedestal is provided so as to protrude, and the center of a disc-shaped recording medium such as a compact disk is placed thereon. An outer peripheral edge having a cutout portion is provided projecting from the base around the receiving pedestal, and the outer periphery of the disk-shaped recording medium is supported on the outer peripheral edge.
[0009]
At the center of the mounting surface of the receiving pedestal, two slit grooves are formed at a predetermined interval, and an engagement convex portion is provided at the tip of both arms formed between the two slit grooves. The engaging projection engages with the central hole of the disc-shaped recording medium. In addition, if necessary, a pair of engagement claws are provided on the engagement protrusions to stand up, and the engagement claws extend from the arm. The engaging claw is provided at a position where a part of the engaging projection is cut out and flexes independently, but fits into the center hole of the disc-shaped recording medium together with the engaging projection. Here, not only two slit grooves but also more than three slit grooves can be provided.
[0010]
By the way, the disk-shaped recording medium is placed on the receiving pedestal, and the engaging projections are fitted into and engaged with the central holes of the disk-shaped recording medium. In the case where the engaging claws are provided, the engaging claws are engaged with the central holes together with the engaging projections, and the disc-shaped recording medium is fixed without coming off the receiving base. In the case where no claws are provided, some kind of slip prevention measures may be taken as necessary. When the fixed disk-shaped recording medium is removed, if the engaging projection is pressed from above, the arm bends downward and comes off the hole.
[0011]
At this time, since the disc-shaped recording medium is supported on the mounting surface of the receiving pedestal, it does not bend and deform. Also, the outer periphery of the disc-shaped recording medium can be pinched and pulled, but since the engaging projection is formed at the tip of the arm, it can be deformed independently of the receiving pedestal. Remove from the hole without forcing it. In particular, when an engagement claw is provided, it is easy to remove. Hereinafter, embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0012]
【Example】
FIG. 1 is an embodiment showing a cover case of a recording medium according to the present invention, wherein 1 is a main body, and 2 is a lid. The main body 1 has a box-like shape having a base-side widest surface, the lid 2 has a cover-side widest surface, and the lid 2 is connected to the main body 1 through a connecting portion 3 to cover the main body 1. You can do it. At the center of the base surface 4 of the main body 1, a receiving pedestal 5 protrudes, and an outer peripheral edge 6 is provided so as to protrude from the receiving pedestal 5 as a center. Notches 7, 7,. Is formed.
[0013]
Arms 8a and 8b are formed on the mounting surface 13 of the receiving pedestal 5 and are separated from the receiving pedestal 5 by slit grooves 9 and 9 at the tip of the arm. , 10b. Therefore, a gap is interposed between the engaging projections 10a and 10b so as to be contractable, but they are combined into a low-height column, and the engaging projections 10a and 10b fit into the disc center hole. Engage. Further, on the joint portion side, a stopper 11 for preventing detachment from the base surface 4 stands, and the tip of the stopper 11 is located at a position where a part of the outer peripheral edge 6 is cut off. When the lid 2 is closed, the back of the release prevention claw 11 is pressed so as not to come off.
[0014]
FIG. 2 (a) shows the receiving pedestal 5, but since the arms 8a and 8b are separated from the receiving pedestal 5 by the slit grooves 9, 9, if the engaging projections 10a and 10b are pressed, they will bend. Can be transformed. FIG. 2B shows a cross section in a state where the disk 12 is mounted on the receiving pedestal 5. The disk 12 is mounted on the mounting surface 13 of the receiving pedestal 5 and the engaging projection 10 a , 10b fit into and engage with the central hole of the disk 12.
[0015]
The disk 12 is mounted on the receiving pedestal 5 so that the engaging projections 10a and 10b fit into the central holes. FIG. 3A shows a case where the disk 12 is mounted on the receiving pedestal 5 and mounted. When the disk 12 is placed on the receiving pedestal 5, the edges of the engaging projections 10a and 10b hit the inner peripheral surface of the disk center hole and are pushed down, and the arms 8a and 8b are bent and deformed as shown in FIG. . As a result, the engaging projections 10a and 10b can contract and fit into the central hole. Since there is a small gap between the two engaging projections 10a and 10b, the projections can be contracted in this manner.
[0016]
The state fitted in the central hole is the state shown in FIG. 2 (b). If the arms 8a, 8b return to their original positions and the contracted engaging projections 10a, 10b expand, Fit into the hole. As described above, the arms 8a and 8b are bent and deformed, so that the disk 12 can be attached to the receiving base 5 without forcing the disk 12. The outer periphery of the disk is supported on the outer peripheral edge 6, and the outer peripheral edge 6 has a support surface for supporting the outer periphery of the disk.
[0017]
Conversely, when removing the disk 12 from the receiving pedestal 5, the engaging projections 10a and 10b are pressed from above as shown in FIG. 3B. If pressed, the arms 8a and 8b bend and deform, and the engaging projections 10a and 10b contract. In this case, the disk 12 rests on the mounting surface 13 of the receiving pedestal 5, and the central portion of the disk 12 does not bend even when the engaging projections 10a and 10b are pressed.
[0018]
Then, once the engaging projections 10a and 10b contract and come out of the disc center hole, they do not fit in the center hole again, and the disc 12 is easily removed. When the central portion of the disk 12 is mounted on the receiving pedestal 5, the outer periphery of the disk is supported by being mounted on an outer peripheral edge 6 provided to protrude from the base surface 4 of the main body 1. Since notches 7 are formed in the outer peripheral edge 6, it is also possible to remove the disk 12 by putting a finger into the notch 7 and lifting the disk 12.
[0019]
In FIG. 4, the disk 12 is mounted on the pedestal 5 and mounted on the pedestal 5. The outer periphery of the disk 12 is supported by being supported on the outer peripheral edge 6, but the detachment preventing claw 11 provided for preventing the detachment is engaged with the outer periphery of the disk 12. Shows the case. The outer periphery of the disk is supported on the outer peripheral edge 6 and is locked by a disengagement prevention claw 11 standing on the base surface 4 as shown in FIG. When the lid 2 is closed, the holding piece 14 protruding from the connecting portion 3 can be brought into contact with and supported by the back face of the release prevention claw 11, and the disk 12 can be independently engaged with the engaging projections 10a, 10b. Never get out of the way. Here, the pressing piece 14 does not necessarily need to be provided on the connecting portion 3 and may be formed on the lid itself depending on the form of the cover case.
[0020]
FIG. 5 is another embodiment showing a cover case of a disk-shaped recording medium according to the present invention. The basic form is the same as that of the cover case shown in FIG. 1; the main body 1 has a box shape having the widest surface on the base side; the lid 2 has the widest surface on the cover side; It is connected to the main body 1 through the part 3 and can cover the main body 1. At the center of the base surface 4 of the main body 1, a receiving pedestal 5 protrudes, and an outer peripheral edge 6 is provided so as to protrude from the receiving pedestal 5 as a center. Notches 7, 7,. Is formed.
[0021]
FIG. 6 is an enlarged view of the receiving base 5 of the cover case shown in FIG. 5 and shows a plan view. The arms 15a and 15b are separated from the mounting surface 13 of the receiving base 5 by slit grooves 16 and 16 and protrude engagement protrusions 17a and 17b at the ends of the arms. The engaging projections 17a, 17b are connected by a soft resin, but have engaging nails 18a, 18b which stand up in pairs, and the engaging nails 18a, 18b are engaged with the engaging projections 17a, 17b. Although extending from the arm as part of 17b, the engagement claws 18a, 18b can flex independently of the arms 15a, 15b.
[0022]
In the receiving pedestal 5, the engaging claws 18a, 18b are positioned at the cutouts formed in the engaging projections 17a, 17b and stand up, but are bent and deformed independently of the arms 15a, 15b. And can be locked in the center hole of the disk 12. If the disc 12 is placed on the pedestal 5 and pressed, as shown in FIG. 7 (a), the engaging claws 18a and 18b standing up in pairs with the engaging projections 17a and 17b are bent. Then, the disc 12 is locked so as not to come off.
[0023]
Since the engaging claws 18a and 18b can be bent and deformed independently of the arms 15a and 15b, they can be easily fitted and locked in the disc center holes. That is, FIG. 8A shows a case where the disk 12 is placed on the receiving base 5 and mounted. When the disk 12 is placed on the receiving pedestal 5, the tips of the engaging claws 18a and 18b hit the inner peripheral surface of the disk center hole and are pushed down, and the arms 15a and 15b are bent and deformed as shown in FIG. As a result, the engaging projections 17a, 17b and the engaging claws 18a, 18b can contract and fit into the central hole. Since a slight gap is interposed between the two engaging projections 17a and 17b, it is possible to contract as described above.
[0024]
Conversely, when the disk 12 is removed, as shown in FIG. 8 (b), if the engaging projections 17a and 17b are pressed by fitting into the central holes, the arms 15a and 15b are bent and deformed, and The coupling claws 18a and 18b also move toward the center together with the engagement projections 17a and 17b, and come off the central hole. Once removed from the central hole, even if the finger is released from the engaging projections 17a and 17b and returned to the original position, it does not engage with the central hole again.
[0025]
By the way, the disc storage case of the above embodiment is composed of a main body and a lid, and the lid is connected via a connecting portion, but the form of the cover case of the present invention is not limited.
[0026]
FIG. 9 shows another form of the cover case, but the cover can be opened and closed without a connecting portion. For example, a hinge having a reduced thickness can be formed, or the hinges can be connected via a shaft pin. FIG. 10 shows that the main body 1 can be stored in the lid case 19. Of course, it is the same that the receiving pedestal and the outer peripheral edge are formed on the main body so as to protrude from the base surface.
[0027]
As described above, the cover case of the present invention is provided with the receiving pedestal on which the disk central portion is placed and the engaging convex portion which is fitted in the central hole is provided at the central portion of the base surface of the main body. And the outer peripheral edge on which the outer periphery of the disk is supported is provided so as to protrude from the center, and the following effects can be obtained.
[0028]
【The invention's effect】
In the cover case of the present invention, the center of the disk-shaped recording medium is placed on a receiving base provided on the main body, and the outer periphery is supported on the outer peripheral edge. The receiving pedestal has a pair of arms and has an engaging projection at the tip. Since the arm is separated from the mounting surface of the receiving pedestal via the slit groove, the arm can freely bend and deform.
[0029]
Therefore, when the disc is mounted, if the engaging projection is pressed down against the center hole, the arm is bent and the two engaging projections are contracted and can fit into the center hole. Conversely, when the disk-shaped recording medium is removed, the arm is bent by pressing the engaging projection fitted in the hole, so that the engaging projection contracts and separates from the central hole. At this time, since the disk is supported on the mounting surface of the receiving pedestal, it does not bend and the disk is prevented from being damaged. By providing the engagement tabs on the engagement projections, the attachment / detachment of the disc becomes smoother and the attached disc is stabilized.
