Description

  The present invention relates to a disc container that accommodates a disc-shaped recording medium.

  As a disc container that accommodates a disc-shaped recording medium, for example, a CD (Compact Disc) or a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), an annular hooking portion is provided at the center of one surface of a rectangular substrate. Some include a tray and a plate-like lid portion that is pivotally attached to one side of the substrate unit and configured to cover one surface of the substrate unit (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

The recording medium is accommodated in the disc container by opening the lid portion to expose one surface of the substrate portion, hooking a hole provided in the approximate center of the recording medium to the retaining portion, and closing the lid portion. This is done by covering one surface of the substrate part.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-64217

  However, in the disc container disclosed in Patent Document 1, when the engagement between the hole portion and the latching portion of the recording medium is uncertain, the recording surface of the recording medium and the substrate portion are in contact with each other, and the recording medium is recorded. Since the surface may be damaged, it is necessary to carefully store the recording medium, and there is a problem of using nerves during the storage. On the other hand, if a disc-shaped recording medium is accommodated in a bowl-shaped case, the outer surface of the recording medium is supported by the inner surface of the peripheral wall of the case even if the recording medium is easily accommodated. Although not attached, it is assumed that the outer edge of the accommodated recording medium cannot be gripped and it is very difficult to take out the recording medium.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and by providing a convex portion on the inner surface of a bowl-shaped peripheral wall, it is possible to easily accommodate a disc-shaped recording medium without damaging the recording surface, and An object of the present invention is to provide a disc container that can easily take out a recording medium.

  Another object of the present invention is to provide a disc container that can stably support a stored recording medium by providing a plurality of convex portions.

  Further, the present invention can be accommodated by forming a gap so that a finger can enter between the outer edge of the recording medium and the inner surface of the peripheral wall, or by placing the finger on the outer edge of the recording medium from the outside. It is an object of the present invention to provide a disc container that can more easily take out a recording medium.

  Furthermore, an object of the present invention is to provide a disc container that can accommodate recording media having different outer diameters by inclining the inner surface that supports the outer edge of the recording medium.

  A disc container according to the present invention has a bowl shape, and is a disc container that supports an outer edge portion of a disc-shaped recording medium accommodated inside by an inner surface of a peripheral wall. A convex portion is provided on the inner surface so as to contact the outer edge portion.

  In the present invention, when a disc-shaped recording medium is accommodated inside, the convex portion provided on the inner surface of the peripheral wall contacts the outer edge of the recording medium, and a gap is formed between one surface of the recording medium and the inner surface of the peripheral wall. .

  In the disc container according to the present invention, the convex portions are provided at three or more locations at intervals in the circumferential direction.

  In the present invention, when a disc-shaped recording medium is accommodated therein, three or more convex portions provided on the inner surface of the peripheral wall are in contact with the outer edge of the recording medium, and the support of the recording medium is stabilized.

  In the disc container according to the present invention, the convex portion protrudes 10 mm or more from the inner surface.

  In the present invention, when the disc-shaped recording medium is accommodated inside, the convex portion provided on the inner surface of the peripheral wall is in contact with the outer edge portion of the recording medium, and 10 mm or more is provided between the outer edge portion of the recording medium and the inner surface of the peripheral wall. There is a gap. The recording medium can be taken out by putting a finger in the gap and placing the finger on the outer edge of the recording medium.

  The disc container according to the present invention is a disc container that has a bowl shape and supports the outer edge of a disc-shaped recording medium accommodated therein by the inner surface of the peripheral wall, and is an end of the peripheral wall on the opening side. A cutout portion is provided from the position to the position where the outer edge portion of the recording medium is supported.

  In the present invention, when a disc-shaped recording medium is accommodated inside, the inner surface of the peripheral wall is in contact with the outer edge of the recording medium, and a gap is formed between one surface of the recording medium and the inner surface of the peripheral wall. Further, the outer edge of the accommodated recording medium is exposed by the notch.

  In the disc container according to the present invention, the width of the notch is 10 mm or more.

  In the present invention, when a disc-shaped recording medium is accommodated inside, a part of the outer edge of the recording medium is exposed over 10 mm or more by the notch. The recording medium can be taken out by placing a finger on the exposed portion.

  In the disc container according to the present invention, the inner surface is tapered.

  In the present invention, by setting the size and angle of the inner surface so as to correspond to a recording medium having a diameter of approximately 12 cm and a recording medium having a diameter of approximately 8 cm, two types of recording media having different diameters can be obtained. Even when accommodated, a gap is formed between one surface of the recording medium and the inner surface of the peripheral wall.

  In the disc container according to the present invention, when a disc-shaped recording medium is accommodated therein, the inner surface or convex portion of the peripheral wall is in contact with the outer edge portion of the recording medium, and between the one surface of the recording medium and the inner surface of the peripheral wall. Therefore, the recording medium can be easily accommodated without damaging the recording surface.

  Further, in the disc container according to the present invention, since the convex portions are provided at three or more locations at intervals in the circumferential direction, the stored disc-shaped recording medium is stably supported.

  Further, in the disc container according to the present invention, since the protruding height from the inner surface of the convex portion is 10 mm or more, a gap of 10 mm or more is formed between the outer edge portion of the disc-shaped recording medium and the inner surface of the peripheral wall. . By using this gap to place a finger on the outer edge of the recording medium, the recording medium can be easily taken out.

  In the disc container according to the present invention, since the width of the notch is 10 mm or more, a part of the outer edge of the disc-shaped recording medium is exposed over 10 mm or more. The recording medium can be easily taken out by placing a finger on the outer edge exposed by the notch.

  Furthermore, in the disc container according to the present invention, since the inner surface is tapered, the size and angle of the inner surface are set so as to correspond to the recording medium having a diameter of about 12 cm and the recording medium having a diameter of about 8 cm. When set, recording media of two types having different diameters can be easily accommodated without damaging the recording surface.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings illustrating embodiments thereof.
