Description

  The present invention relates to a disc case provided with a holding member such as a booklet capable of adjusting a holding force according to the thickness of the booklet when holding the booklet inserted into the disc case.

A compact disc (CD) or DVD disc (DVD) disc case is inserted with a booklet with explanations and information on the disc.
As a holding member used in a conventional disk case, a holding member having a U-shaped cross section having a fixed width or a clip-like holding member that presses from above with a booklet interposed therebetween is used.

  Unlike the disc, the booklet has no limitation on the description capacity, and various descriptions are made as necessary. For this reason, when there is no need to describe information, only one sheet of paper may be inserted, but when there is a lot of written information, the booklet may be thick.

In the conventional U-shaped holding member, since the width is fixed, there is a drawback that when the thickness of a booklet or the like to be inserted is thin, it slips and falls easily. In addition, since the width is determined, there is a drawback in that it is difficult to insert and take out when the thickness is large. For this reason, when a booklet or the like is forcibly inserted, the booklet may have a retention mark or may be torn.
In addition, although the clip-type holding member can be adjusted according to the thickness of a booklet inserted to some extent, a holding member having a strong pressing force is provided so that it can be generally used. For this reason, when there is a single sheet of paper, the pressing force is too strong, and traces are likely to remain on the paper. When a thick booklet or the like is inserted, it is difficult to take out, and there is a drawback that clip marks are likely to remain.

  In recent years, in order to differentiate from other products, not only discs but also information booklets inserted with discs are often given special benefits. The purchaser tries to handle the booklet carefully so that it will not be damaged, but there may be a mark on the booklet, etc. during repeated removal, and the development of a holding part with a clamping force suitable for the booklet It was desired.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has an object to provide a disc case provided with a holding member whose holding force can be adjusted by the thickness of a booklet or the like to be inserted.

  In order to achieve the above object, a booklet holding member of a disk case according to the present invention is a disk case comprising a tray and a storage lid for storing and holding a compact disk (CD) or DVD (DVD). The holding member that holds the booklet, etc. provided is composed of a first holding part and a second holding part, and the first holding part has an arc-shaped cross section so that the holding force can be adjusted by the thickness of the booklet inserted into the disc case. The dish-shaped bottom part is provided at a slightly floating position where it does not contact the back surface of the storage lid and / or the bottom surface of the disc tray, and the second holding part is formed in an arc-shaped dish shape. The disc case booklet holder, wherein the lowermost part of the dish shape is provided at a position where it comes into light contact with the back surface of the storage lid and / or the bottom surface of the disc tray It is a material.

  Further, the holding member is hollowed out from the support pillar standing vertically to the storage lid and / or the disc tray, and the inside formed at the tip of the support arm extending horizontally to the storage lid and / or the disc tray. A disc case comprising: a dish-shaped first holding member; and a dish-shaped second holding member of the same shape formed in a space inside the hollowed first holding member. It is a booklet holding member.

Since the holding member such as a booklet according to the present invention is configured as described in detail above, the following effects are obtained.
1. A thick booklet can be held (clamped) by the first holding unit, and thin paper or the like can be held (clamped) by the second holding unit, and the clamping force can be adjusted by the thickness of the inserted booklet or the like. This is convenient because the pressing force is automatically adjusted. In addition, since the force can be adjusted according to the thickness, no trace of the holding member remains on the booklet or the like.
The holding member is dish-shaped and the edge is directed upward, and the insertion and removal operations of booklets and the like are smooth. Moreover, it can be softly pressed by the rounded lower surface.

2. Due to the double structure of the holding part with the second holding part inside, it is easy to use without taking up space. Further, the two holding portions are integrally attached, and the cost is not increased. The holding portion is set at an appropriate position by the horizontally extending arm, and an appropriate holding (holding) force can be secured.
When the booklet or the like is thin, it is possible to prevent the booklet or the like from being marked with a light pressing force by the second holding portion having a small contact area with the booklet or the like. Moreover, when there is thickness, a 2nd holding | maintenance part is stored in the inside of a 1st holding | maintenance part, and strong clamping force can be exhibited by two holding | maintenance parts.

Hereinafter, the booklet holding member according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a side view of the holding member of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a plan view of the holding member of the present invention.

The booklet holding member of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 will be described in detail.
The holding member 10 of the present invention includes a support column 20, a support arm 22, a first holding part 24, and a second holding part 26.

  The support pillar 20 is a plate-like pillar material provided vertically from the storage lid of the disk case and / or the disk tray, and plays a role of supporting a holding portion provided at the tip. As long as the mounting position of the holding member 10 is inside the disk case, it may be on the back surface of the storage lid or on the bottom surface of the disk tray on the side where the disk is stored. Further, when there are a plurality of booklets or the like, it can be provided on both the storage lid and the disc tray.

  The support arm 22 is an arm member that extends horizontally from the upper part of the support column 20 to the storage lid and / or the disc tray, and serves as a mounting member for the holding portion. The support arm 22 extends from the support column 20 to the side sandwiching the booklet or the like.

The first holding unit 24 is a part that holds a thick booklet or the like. It extends from the support arm 22 to the side into which a booklet or the like is inserted, and the cross section is formed in an arc-shaped dish shape. The bottom of the dish shape as viewed from the side is provided at a position slightly lifted from the bottom surface of the disc tray or the back surface of the lid.
The first holding unit 24 is suitable for holding a thick booklet or the like.

The second holding portion 26 is a portion that holds a relatively thin booklet or the like. As shown in FIG. 2, the second holding part 26 is provided inside the first holding part, and the cross section is formed in an arc-shaped dish shape. The lowermost part of the dish shape is formed so as to lightly contact the back surface of the storage lid and / or the bottom surface of the disc tray.
The second holding unit is suitable for holding paper, a thin booklet, and the like.

  In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the second holding member 26 is formed such that a portion hollowed out in a tongue shape is provided at the center of the first holding portion 24 and the tip of the tongue faces rearward (supporting column side). . Moreover, when it sees from the side surface, it has the shape which provided the elastic pressing tongue part which protruded below under the dish shape used as a 1st holding | maintenance part. With this shape, the first holding part 24 and the second holding part 26 are integrally formed, and the same side as the side into which the thick booklet is inserted is the insertion port side, so even a thin sheet can be held without any problem. It becomes possible.

A plurality of holding members 10 are installed inside the disc case in accordance with the size, shape or quantity of a booklet or the like to be inserted. The position to be installed is not particularly specified as long as the end of the booklet can be appropriately sandwiched and held.
The holding member 10 is usually provided inside the case body of the lid that does not contain a disk and can easily secure a space. However, the holding member 10 has a sufficient space on the tray, a booklet or the like is small, or has a visual effect. For example, it may be provided on the bottom side of the disc tray in which the disc is stored depending on the situation.

  The holding member 10 is made of a flexible resin material. It is also possible to integrally mold the storage lid and the disc tray.

  The booklet inserted into the holding member 10 may be a sheet of paper or a booklet according to the size of the disc case and the amount of information described, or a booklet that is substantially the same as the case size. . Any material can be used as long as it is inserted into the disk case and can be clamped by the holding member 10. Even if it is thick, or on the other hand, even a single sheet of paper, it can be held freely and does not fall easily.

The pinching / holding structure when a thin paper sheet is inserted / held in the holding member of the present invention will be described in detail.
First, as shown by the arrows in FIG. 1, the paper is inserted from the holding portions 24 and 26 side toward the support column 20 side. At this time, since the holding portion has a dish shape, the edge faces upward, and the paper can be easily inserted without being curled. When one to several sheets of paper are thin, the paper is held by the second holding part 26 in contact with the bottom surface 32 on which the support pillar is erected and the bottom surface of the dish shape. As shown in FIG. 1, the second holding portion 26 has a dish shape that is recessed from the lower side of the first holding portion 24 formed in an arc shape toward the lower bottom surface. The inserted thin paper abuts on the lower surface of the arc of the second holding portion 26 without touching the first holding portion 24 and is held.

Since the bottom surface of the second holding part 26 is in light contact with the bottom surface, the second holding part 26 does not fall out of the holding member even when there is a single sheet of paper.
Moreover, since the area of the clamping part is formed small, the clamping force is not too strong, and can be held with a soft force by the arc-shaped rounded surface. Therefore, the trace of the holding member does not remain on the paper.

  The sandwiching / holding structure when a thick booklet is inserted / held in the holding member of the present invention will be described in detail. As in the case of inserting paper, the booklet is inserted from the holding parts 24 and 26 side toward the support column 20 side. Since the first holding part 24 has a dish shape, the edge faces upward, and the second holding part 26 protrudes from the lower side of the first holding part 24 toward the support pillar 20 side, so that it is easy to insert. ing. When the booklet is thick, the second holding part 26 is lifted up to the position of the first holding part 24 depending on the thickness, and stored inside. Therefore, it will be in the state held by two holding parts.

  The first holding portion 24 is provided at a position where the lowermost surface is lifted from the bottom surface 32 and is suitable when there is a thickness. The second holding part 26 is made of an elastic resin material and is lifted up to the position of the first holding part 26 without difficulty. Since the two holding parts of the first holding part and the second holding part are used, the holding force is strong and the booklet does not fall out of the storage position. Further, since the ground contact surface formed by the first holding part 24 and the second holding part 26 is an arc-shaped rounded surface, it is held with a soft force. For this reason, it is possible to ensure an appropriate holding force without leaving any trace of the booklet.
