  A storage case 10 shown in FIG. 1 includes a main body 11, a movable claw 12 provided so as to be swingable with respect to the main body 11, and a spring 13 that biases the movable claw 12. The main body 11 includes a rectangular plate-like base 14, and a first wall 15 and a second wall 16 that rise from the vicinity of the end of the base 14. The above-mentioned movable claw 12 is swingably attached to the upper end of the first wall 15. A fixing claw 17 that protrudes toward the one wall 15 is formed at the upper end of the second wall 16. The inner surfaces of the movable claw 12 and the fixed claw 17 are inclined surfaces 18 and 19 that protrude downward.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the upper ends of the first walls 15 are provided with support portions 20, 20 protruding inward toward the second wall 16 at intervals, and the support portions 20, 20, An upper end of the movable claw 12 is swingably suspended by a shaft 21 fixed to the shaft 20. The upper part of the movable claw 12 enters between the support parts 20 and 20. The lower part of the movable claw 12 has the same width as the upper part. However, the width of the lower part can be the same as that of the base 14. A gap S is provided between the support portion 20 of the first wall 15 and the movable claw 12 so as not to disturb the swing of the movable claw 12.

  Further, in the storage case 10, the spring locking piece 22 protrudes downward from the lower portion of the movable claw 12. On the other hand, a groove 23 extending in the longitudinal direction is formed at the center in the width direction of the base 14, and a spring locking piece 25 is provided at the end of the second wall 16 of the groove 23. The spring 13 is connected between the spring locking piece 22 of the movable claw 12 and the spring locking piece 25 of the groove 23. As the spring 13, a tension coil spring is used. Thereby, the tip of the movable claw 12 is always elastically biased toward the second wall 16.

  Further, the storage case 10 is provided with belt loops 26 and 26 projecting from the front and rear ends of the base 14 on the lower surface side. Each belt loop 26 is formed with a slit 27 through which the belt passes. Accordingly, the storage case 10 can be attached to the belt so as to extend along the direction in which the belt extends. The belt may be a belt of clothes such as trousers or a skirt, or a shoulder belt of a shoulder bag or a backpack of a backpack.

  The storage case 10 configured as described above can store the mobile phone 30 shown in FIG. The mobile phone 30 is a foldable mobile phone including a display unit 32 and an operation unit 33 that are rotatably connected by a hinge 31. However, other forms of mobile phones may be used.

  In the cellular phone 30, a protruding piece 34 that engages with the movable claw 12 is provided at the end of the operation unit 33 on the hinge 31 side (see FIG. 1). Further, a recess 35 that engages with the fixing claw 17 is formed at the end of the display unit 32 and the operation unit 33 on the opposite side to the hinge 31. The concave portion 35 is substantially V-shaped from an inclined surface 36 provided on the upper surface side of the operation portion 33 and becoming lower as it goes to the tip, and an inclined surface 37 rising as it goes to the tip provided on the lower surface side of the display portion 32. Is formed. The inclined surface 36 on the upper surface side of the operation unit 32 is a portion that engages with the fixed claw 17, and the inclined surface 37 on the display unit 33 side is a relief for avoiding interference with the fixed claw 17. Further, in the cellular phone 30, an inclined surface 38 is also provided on the lower surface side of the operation unit 33 (see FIG. 1).

  In the cellular phone 30, for example, the cellular phone 30 is inclined with respect to the base 14, and the tip of the operation unit 33 is first inserted between the fixing claw 17 and the base 14, and the upper inclined surface 36 of the operation unit 33 is provided. Engage with the lower surface of the fixed claw 17. Next, the hinge 31 is pushed toward the base 14. Thereby, the movable claw 12 swings around the shaft 21 counterclockwise in FIG. 1 against the biasing force of the spring 13 and receives the protruding piece 34. After the protruding piece 34 enters, the movable claw 12 is elastically pulled by the spring 13, and the lower surface of the movable claw 12 is engaged with the upper surface of the protruding piece 34. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 1, the mobile phone 30 can be stored in the storage case 10.

  Note that the mobile phone 30 may be held parallel to the base 14 and pushed toward the base 14 as it is. In that case, the inclined surface 38 on the lower surface side of the operation unit 33 comes into contact with the inclined surface 19 of the fixed claw 17, and the mobile phone 30 is moved somewhat to the hinge 31 side while sliding. At the same time, the protruding piece 34 on the hinge side comes into contact with the inclined surface 18 of the movable claw 12 and retracts the movable claw 12 while resisting the biasing force of the spring 13 as described above. Thereby, the cellular phone 30 is housed in the state shown in FIG. In this stored state, the front and rear of the mobile phone 30 are sandwiched between the fixed claw 17 and the movable claw 12, and the upper inclined surface 36 of the operation unit 33 and the fixed claw 17 are engaged, and the protruding piece 34 and the movable claw 17 are movable. Since the claw 12 is engaged, the mobile phone 30 is firmly held in the storage case 10.

  Even when an external force in a direction away from the base 11 is applied to the mobile phone 30, the movable claw 12 does not swing counterclockwise, which is safe. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the engaging portion between the movable claw 12 and the protruding piece 34 is closer to the second wall 16 side than the shaft 21. Therefore, the movable claw 12 swings in the clockwise direction, that is, the direction in which the engagement is deepened. Therefore, the mobile phone 30 can be held more safely because it is locked.

  When removing the mobile phone 30 from the storage case 10, the mobile phone 30 is moved to the first wall 15 side, and thereby the movable claw 12 is retracted against the urging force of the spring 13. In this state, the engagement between the recessed portion 35 provided at the end opposite to the hinge 31 and the fixed claw 17 is released, so that the end is pulled out. Then, the mobile phone 30 may be shifted to the second wall 16 side as it is to disengage the movable claw 12 and the protruding piece 34 from each other.

  The preferred embodiments of the storage case 10 and the mobile phone 30 have been described above with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, but the present invention is not limited to them, and various modifications can be made. For example, the storage case 40 shown in FIG. 4 employs a torsion coil spring 41 that constantly urges the movable claw 12 clockwise in place of the tension coil spring. The arms 42 and 42 of the torsion coil spring 41 are engaged with the movable claw 12 and the first wall 15, respectively. Unlike the storage case 10 of FIG. 1, the storage case 40 does not need to be provided with the groove 23 for storing the tension coil spring 13 in the base 14, so that the base 14 can be made thin.

  Further, in the case of the storage case 40 of FIG. 4, a tab 43 for projecting the movable claw 12 directly is provided at the upper end of the movable claw 12. Therefore, by operating the knob 43, the movable claw 12 can be directly operated to swing counterclockwise, and the mobile phone 30 can be easily taken out. Such a knob 43 can also be employed in the storage case 10 of FIG.

  In the storage case 45 shown in FIG. 5, the movable claw 46 has a reverse T-shaped cross section, and is supported by a T groove 47 provided in the base 14 so as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the base 14. Therefore, the 1st wall 15 which supports the movable nail | claw 12 like the case of FIG. 1 is unnecessary. Reference numeral 48 denotes a knob for sliding the movable claw 46 against the urging force of the spring 13. This storage case 45 also has substantially the same function and effect as the storage case 10 of FIG.

  In the storage case 50 shown in FIG. 6, the second wall 16 provided with the fixing claw 17 is raised so that the fixing claw 17 engages with the upper surface of the display unit 32 of the mobile phone 30. Therefore, since the engaging part of the mobile phone 30 is the upper surface of the display part 32, the substantially V-shaped concave part 35 as in the case of FIG. 1 is unnecessary. However, the inclined surface 38 on the lower surface side of the operation unit 33 is the same as in the case of FIG. Therefore, the operation of storing the mobile phone 30 in the storage case 50 is as simple as the case of FIG. Further, the cellular phone 30 can be taken out in the same procedure as in FIG.

  In the above-described embodiment, the fixed claw 17 and the movable claws 12 and 46 are combined, but both may be the movable claws 12 and 46. Further, although the fixed claws 17 and the movable claws 12 and 46 are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the base 14, they can be provided at the end portions in the width direction of the base 11.

  In any of the storage cases, a wall or a rising piece for preventing the mobile phone 30 from shifting to one side or both sides of the rectangular base 14 where the fixed claws 17 and the movable claws 12 and 46 are not provided. Can also be provided. These walls or rising pieces are provided so as not to obstruct the attachment / detachment of the mobile phone 30.

  In the embodiment, the belt loops 26 are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the base 14, but the belt loops 26 may be provided at the left and right ends of the base 14. In that case, the storage case 10 can be attached in a direction perpendicular to the belt. In either case, the existing belt can be passed. In addition, connecting rings (belt stoppers) that connect one end of the belt to both ends of the base 14 can be provided, and the end portions of the belt can be connected to the respective connecting rings. In that case, you may provide the fastener and buckle which connect freely the free ends of those belts so that attachment or detachment is possible. Thereby, it can be used as a belt with a storage case.
