Description

  The present invention relates to an outer case for display in which a rental case accommodating video tapes, DVDs, CDs, game software, and the like displayed on a shelf of a rental shop is placed.

  As a method for renting video tapes and DVDs, the video tapes are put in a rent case, and the rent case is further accommodated in an outer display case, and the upper end of the rent case protrudes from the upper end opening of the outer case. They are arranged on display shelves. The customer can borrow the rental case containing the videotape from the outer display case.

  At this time, if the extracted rental case is taken out of the store as it is, the security device installed at the entrance is activated to emit an alarm sound. In other words, a tag seal is attached to the video tape case, and a tag seal is also attached to the lock plate of the case containing the DVD. This lending method relates to a “video tape display method and an outer case for display” according to Japanese Patent No. 2132868.

  Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 15, the display outer case has a box shape having an opening (A) at the upper end, and is manufactured by injection molding. Therefore, it has a bottom part (b), a front part (c), a back part (d), and both side parts (e) and (e). The thickness of each part has a thickness of about 1 mm. For this reason, the ratio of material costs is relatively high, and there is a limit to reducing costs. Of course, a mold for injection molding is also required. Recently, it is also known that the structure can be converted into an outer display case by removing the upper lid of the sales case and opening the upper end, but the basic form is the case shown in the figure Yes.

On the other hand, many video tapes and DVDs are arranged on display shelves in rental stores such as videos, but the number of displays is limited. Therefore, it is preferable that the thickness of the outer case for display is as small as possible, and it becomes possible to arrange many video tapes and the like on the same shelf.
“Method for Displaying Video Tape and Outer Case for Display” according to Japanese Patent No. 2132868

  As described above, the conventional outer case for housing rental cases such as video tapes and DVDs has the above-mentioned problems. The problem to be solved by the present invention is this problem. An outer case for display such as a video tape which can be displayed more by reducing the thickness dimension and which is low in manufacturing cost is provided.

  An outer case for display of a video tape, a DVD, or the like according to the present invention includes an outer portion obtained by bending a thin resin sheet into a generally U shape, a cover outer portion formed with a transparent film having a substantially U shape, and a pair of L It consists of a shape frame. The outer portion having the generally U-shape has a surface portion, a back surface portion, and a side surface portion, and an L-shaped frame is attached to the lower edge and the vertical edge of the surface portion. A shape frame is mounted.

  The attachment means of the L-shaped frame is not particularly limited, and when an adhesive is used, or when a locking piece is provided on the lower edge and the vertical edge, the locking piece is locked to the locking portion of the L-shaped frame. There are methods. Then, the L-shaped frames attached to the front part and the rear part are abutted and connected to each other to form a case having a bottom. Also, a substantially U-shaped cover outer portion made of a transparent film is attached so as to overlap the surface of the case.

  By the way, although the connection means of the L-shaped frames that make a pair is not limited, it is possible to provide claws that engage with each other, or to attach magnets that attract each other to the butting surfaces. A title sheet can be inserted between the box-shaped case and the transparent sheet covering the surface, and the title sheet can be viewed through the transparent sheet.

  On the other hand, the frame can be formed not only in the L shape but also in a U shape. In this case, a U-shaped frame is attached along the lower edge, vertical edge, and side surface of the outer surface portion obtained by bending a thin resin sheet into a generally U shape. A U-shaped frame is attached along the edges and side portions. Then, both U-shaped frames are connected to each other through a connecting means. Furthermore, the surface of the outer portion can be covered by adhering adhesive portions provided along the vertical edges at both ends of the cover outer portion made of a transparent film to the vertical pieces of the U-shaped frame. Here, the connection means between the U-shaped frames is the same as in the case of the L-shaped frame.

  Further, a folded piece can be provided instead of the above-described transparent sheet as means for attaching the title paper. The folded piece is formed by folding downward from the upper edge of the substantially U-shaped outer portion made of a thin resin sheet. Further, it is formed by folding downward from the upper edge of a rectangular thin resin sheet.

  The outer case for display according to the present invention is a combination of an outer portion formed by bending a thin resin sheet and an L-shaped frame or a U-shaped frame, and a transparent sheet is pasted on the surface. In comparison, the cost is reduced, while the thickness dimension is reduced. Therefore, it becomes possible to arrange many outer cases for display on the same shelf. And since the outer case for display of the present invention is configured not only by a thin resin sheet but also by a combination with an L-shaped frame or a U-shaped frame, the shape of the frame is broken by becoming a skeleton of the case. There is no.
