Description

  The present invention relates to a rental case provided with a plurality of partition plates to accommodate disc-shaped recording media such as DVDs and CDs.

  A rental case for lending DVDs, CDs, and the like is housed in a display case, and is displayed on a display shelf in a rental shop with its upper end protruding from the upper opening of the display case. The customer can look at the title paper attached to the display case, pull out the rental case, and borrow it at the counter through a predetermined procedure.

By the way, depending on the drama recorded on the DVD, the DVD may extend for 10 to 20 sheets. If such a long drama is housed in a rental case one by one, it is arranged on a display shelf. Sometimes it takes a lot of space. In addition, it is inconvenient for the borrower to borrow several items one by one, and the rental cost increases.

  Therefore, in recent years, there are many cases where a plurality of DVDs can be accommodated and lent out in one rental case. FIG. 6 shows a rental case composed of a main body (A) and a lid (B), which has a structure that can accommodate a DVD. “A disk storage case for rental or sale” according to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-297104 is one of the conventional documents relating to this rental case.

  It is a rental case that can accommodate two discs such as DVDs and CDs, and has a space (c) that accommodates lyrics cards while suppressing the thickness. Therefore, a lid (b) that opens and closes via a joint at the side edge of the case body (b), and a partition plate (d) that opens and closes via a joint at the side edge of the case body (b) The center part of the body (b) is provided with a thigh (e) that fits into the center hole of the disk, and the center part of the partition plate (d) also has a thigh (e) that fits into the center hole of the disk.

Also, a bottom space (c) for storing a lyric card or the like is provided between the closed partition plate (d) and the bottom of the case body (b), and the partition plate (d) and the lid (b) An upper space for storing two disks is provided between them. Then, the lock plate (f) is inserted with the lid (b) closed, and the lid (b) is locked.

  However, although the rental case is provided with the partition plate (d), the number is one, so that only two DVDs can be accommodated. An object of the present invention is to accommodate at least several DVDs in one rental case. Therefore, if a plurality of the partition plates are attached, it is possible to accommodate a plurality of DVDs. However, the thickness of the rental case increases proportionally, and the plurality of partition plates can be attached to attach the partition plates. It becomes difficult to attach / remove the DVD to / from the partition plate.

  The “disc protective container” according to Japanese translation of PCT International Publication No. 2009-500407 is a container for CD or DVD, a case having a lid part, a back plate part and a board part, and a spacing protruding forward from the board part. One main hinge structure having a pair of hinge posts with a pair of hinges and a secondary hinge structure pivotally connected to the main hinge structure and pivotally supporting one secondary tray Main trays, which can be rolled like a book page. The main tray can have one additional secondary hinge structure that engages another secondary tray. Each of the trays has a double-sided structure to lock up to seven discs in contact with their support structure when the case is closed. The main tray can have rims that project on both sides to nest the secondary tray flush with the main tray.

The base portion of the main tray (partition plate) is configured to be turned like a book page by being pivotally supported by a pair of hinge posts provided on the substrate portion. In addition, the base portion is fitted in a long groove provided in the hinge post, and must be moved along the long groove when turning. Since the main tray is attached to each hinge post, a plurality of hinge posts are arranged on the substrate portion. That is, it has a structure having a plurality of bearings.
