  As described above, most conventional storage containers (disk storage containers) are made of hard plastic. For this reason, the cost is high. In particular, today, in various fields, there is a demand for conversion from plastic materials with limited resources to renewable biomass materials. This request is no exception even in the case of a disc-type recording medium storage container. For example, a paper container is desired.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a paper container. In particular, it is an object of the present invention to provide a paper container that is difficult for dust and dirt to enter inside and that is inexpensive.

The above issues are
In a storage container for disk-type recording media,
The storage container is
A paper storage container body having a storage for storing the disk-type recording medium;
A paper lid portion covering the storage portion of the storage container body portion,
The lid portion is
An inner lid facing the storage portion of the storage container main body,
A continuous from the inner lid, and an outer lid folded back along a predetermined fold,
The base end side of the outer lid is connected to the storage container main body, and the lid is configured to be able to open and close,
On the back side of the outer lid, a first surface fastener is provided,
The inner lid is formed with an opening through which the first surface fastener can be exposed,
The storage container main body is provided with a second surface fastener that is hooked to the first surface fastener exposed through the opening when the lid is closed. Settled by container.

  Preferably, in the above storage container, the second hook and loop fastener is provided in a recess formed in the storage container body, and is solved by the storage container.

  Preferably, the above storage container is solved by a storage container characterized in that the storage container main body is made of cardboard.

  Preferably, in the above-described storage container, the lid portion is made of cardboard and is solved by the storage container. In particular, the storage container is characterized in that the outer lid and the inner lid constituting the lid are made of cardboard.

  When a paper storage container is held by hand, the touch is softer than that of a hard plastic storage container. It is hard to feel a crazed feeling like a conventional plastic container.

  Moreover, paper is generally softer than plastic. Therefore, the stored recording medium is hardly damaged.

  It is very easy to dispose of. There is no cost.

  It can be easily constructed with cardboard, is easy to manufacture, and is low in cost.

  Further, since the lid body portion is constituted by the inner lid body and the outer lid body that is continuously folded back from the inner lid body along a predetermined fold, the recording that is stored when the lid is closed. The medium is securely covered by the inner lid. That is, it is difficult to create a gap between the storage container body and the inner lid. In particular, when the lid is closed, the outer lid body presses the inner lid body toward the storage container main body, so that it is difficult to form a gap between the storage container main body and the inner lid body. Therefore, dust and dust are difficult to enter. That is, it is difficult for dust and dirt to adhere to the stored recording medium.

  The surface fastener for closing and locking the lid portion is attached to the back side of the outer lid body. And the opening is formed in the said inner cover body corresponding to the attachment position of this surface fastener. Therefore, when the lid is closed, if the thickness of the surface fastener and the thickness of the inner lid body are substantially the same, the surface fastener does not protrude larger than the lid body portion. This means that it is difficult to create a gap between the upper surface of the storage container body and the lower surface of the lid (inner lid) when the lid is closed. Therefore, dust and dust are difficult to enter inside. That is, it is difficult for dust and dirt to adhere to the stored recording medium.

  The present invention is a storage container. In particular, it is a storage container for disk-type recording media. The constituent material of the storage container is paper. Some materials other than paper may be used, but most are made of paper. Therefore, it can be said that it is a paper container. In this respect, it differs greatly from the conventional plastic container. The present storage container includes a paper storage container main body and a paper lid. The storage container main body has a storage portion for storing the disc type recording medium. The lid part covers the storage part of the storage container body part. The storage container main body part and the lid body part are connected. For example, the storage container main body part and the lid body part are connected (joined) along one side. This connection (joining) form is a form in which the lid portion can be rotated and opened. Since the technology for connecting the lid body portion and the storage container main body portion so that the lid body portion can be opened and closed is well known, detailed description thereof is omitted.

  The lid portion preferably includes an outer lid body and an inner lid body. The outer lid and the inner lid are preferably made of cardboard. The cardboard has a thickness of about 0.5 to 3 mm, for example. Of course, it may be thicker than this, but there is little merit of thickening. The cardboard may be cardboard paper. Corrugated paper is preferable because it has cushioning properties. The inner cover body faces the storage portion of the storage container main body when the cover is closed. Thereby, the said accommodating part is covered. The outer lid body and the inner lid body are connected. The lid portion is obtained, for example, by folding a sheet of paper along a predetermined fold. Therefore, the lid portion can be easily obtained at low cost.

  The 1st surface fastener is provided in the back surface side of the said outer cover body. An opening that allows the tip of the first surface fastener to be exposed is provided in the inner lid. A second hook-and-loop fastener that is hooked on the first hook-and-loop fastener when the lid is closed is provided on the storage container main body. That is, when the cover is closed, the first surface fastener and the second surface fastener exposed through the opening are latched. The second hook-and-loop fastener is preferably provided in a recess formed in the storage container main body.

  The storage container body preferably includes a first recess (storage) in which the recording medium is stored. The storage container main body preferably includes a second recess that is deeper than the first recess provided in a peripheral portion of the first recess. And when taking out the recording medium stored in the first recess, when the force is applied to the end edge of the recording medium stored in the first recess, the other end of the recording medium is Fits into the second recess. As a result, the recording medium is configured to be in an oblique state.

  The storage container body preferably includes a third recess. Due to the presence of the third concave portion, the end edge of the recording medium stored in the first concave portion (storage portion) is easily caught. The position where the third recess is provided is preferably a position facing the second recess. And the 3rd crevice and the 1st crevice are connected and provided.

  The storage container of the present invention preferably includes a cover body that covers a part of the second recess. The cover body is preferably configured by a lid body portion connected to the storage container main body portion.

  The storage container main body preferably includes a first paper body, a second paper body, and a third paper body. The first paper body is a paper body located on a side closer to the lid surface of the lid body portion when the lid is closed. The third paper body is a paper body located on the side far from the lid surface of the lid body portion when the lid is closed. The second paper body is a paper body sandwiched between the first paper body and the third paper body. The first paper body and the second paper body are preferably made of cardboard. The third paper body may be composed of thick paper or may be composed of thin paper such as a film. The cardboard has a thickness of about 0.5 to 3 mm, for example. Of course, it may be thicker than this, but there is little merit of thickening. The cardboard may be cardboard paper. Corrugated paper is preferable because it has cushioning properties. The storage container main body is preferably composed of the first paper body-the second paper body-the third paper body (laminate). The first paper body has a first opening (a first opening serving as a first recess). The second paper body has a second opening (a second opening serving as a second recess). The third paper body has a closing portion for closing the opening of the second paper body. More preferably, the first paper body has a third opening (a third opening serving as a third recess). More preferably, the second paper body has a fourth opening corresponding to the third opening. The container main body can be obtained by a simple operation of sticking cardboards punched into the predetermined shape. That is, the storage container main body can be easily obtained at low cost.

  The storage container body (for example, the first paper body) and the lid (for example, the outer lid of the lid) are bonded together. For example, it sticks so that a part may overlap. Thereby, the said storage container main-body part and the said cover body part are connected. Therefore, this operation is also easy, and the storage container can be obtained at a low cost. The third paper body and the outer lid body can be formed of a single cardboard. That is, the third paper body (or the first paper body) and the outer lid body may be connected. For example, you may be comprised with the continuous paper body like said 3rd paper body (or 1st paper body)-outer cover body-inner cover body. Of course, a crease is provided at each boundary for easy folding.

  Hereinafter, the storage container which becomes embodiment of this invention more concretely is demonstrated.

  1-4 is explanatory drawing of the storage container which becomes 1st Embodiment of this invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view in a stage (disassembled state) before component joining (bonding). FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the storage container in the opened state. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the storage container in the closed state. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the disc taken out from the storage container.

  In each figure, A is a storage container main-body part, B is a cover body part.

  The storage container body A is composed of a laminated body of a first paper body 1, a second paper body 2, and a third paper body 3. The first paper body 1, the second paper body 2, and the third paper body 3 have substantially the same outer shape. The outer shape is, for example, a rectangle close to a square. For example, a cardboard having a thickness of about 1 mm is punched into a predetermined shape. The three sheets of paper are bonded together with glue, adhesive or adhesive.

  The first paper body 1 has a hole (opening) 4 at a substantially central position (see FIGS. 1 and 2). The recording medium D is disposed in the hole (opening) 4. Therefore, the hole (opening) 4 is substantially circular. The inner diameter of the hole (opening) 4 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the recording medium D. The first paper body 1 has holes (openings) 5. The hole (opening) 5 is for easily placing a hand on the edge of the recording medium D arranged in the hole (opening) 4. Accordingly, the hole (opening) 5 is connected to the hole (opening) 4 (see FIGS. 1 and 2). Further, the position of the hole (opening) 5 is symmetrical with the position of the hole (opening) 7 described later when the center position of the hole (opening) 4 is the center. The shape of the hole (opening) 5 may be any appropriate one. A hole (opening) 6 having a smaller diameter than the hole (opening) 4 is formed at an appropriate location of the first paper body 1. These holes (openings) 4, 5, and 6 are formed at the same time when the first paper body 1 is punched from the cardboard. The first paper body 1 has a length (length in the longitudinal direction) a. The length in the short direction perpendicular to the length a is slightly shorter (for example, about 2 to 3 cm) than the length a.

  The second paper body 2 has holes (openings) 7. The shape of the hole (opening) 7 is not particularly limited. In this embodiment, it is arcuate (see FIGS. 1 and 2). The formation position of the hole (opening) 7 is a position facing the area of the circular hole (opening) 4 of the first paper body 1 when the first paper body 1 and the second paper body 2 are overlapped. In particular, this is the position where the arc-shaped portions of the holes (openings) overlap (see FIGS. 1 and 2). The second paper body 2 has a hole (opening) 8. The second paper body 2 has a hole (opening) 9. The positions where the holes (openings) 8 and 9 are formed are positions where the holes (openings) 8 and 9 and the holes (openings) 5 and 6 face each other when the first paper body 1 and the second paper body 2 are overlapped. (See FIGS. 1 and 2). These holes (openings) 7, 8, and 9 are formed at the same time when the second paper body 2 is punched out from the cardboard. The length (length in the longitudinal direction) of the second paper body 2 is a.

  The third paper body 3 has substantially the same outer shape as the outer shape of the first paper body 1 (the outer shape of the second paper body 2). However, no holes (openings) are formed in the third paper body 3 at all.

  The second paper body 2 punched into the shape as described above is arranged on the third paper body 3 punched into the shape as described above. On the second paper body 2, the first paper body 1 punched into the shape as described above is arranged. The three paper bodies are bonded together. As a result, a storage container body A as shown in FIGS. The recording medium D is accommodated in a space formed by the circular holes (openings) 4 of the first paper body 1. Therefore, it can be said that the first recess (first opening) is a hole (opening) 4 formed in the first paper body 1. It can be said that the second recess (second opening) is a hole (opening) 7 formed in the second paper body 2. It can be said that the third recess (third opening) is a hole (opening) 5 formed in the first paper body 1. It can be said that the fourth opening is a hole (opening) 8 formed in the second paper body 2.

  The lid part B is formed by punching a cardboard of about 1 mm thickness into a rectangular shape, for example. At the time of this punching, a crease is formed along a predetermined line (a chain line in FIG. 1). The cardboard is folded along the fold. Among the folded layers, the inner lid body 10 is located on the lower side, and the outer lid body 11 is located on the upper side. The length (length in the longitudinal direction) of the outer lid body 11 is a + c. The portion of the length c is folded along a line (a chain line in FIG. 1). The length of the inner lid body 10 is b. The length a of the outer lid body 11 is longer than the length b of the inner lid body 10 by the length c of the glue allowance. That is, when the lid part B is closed with the inner lid 10 facing down, between the tip of the inner lid 10 and the joint between the outer lid 11 and the first paper body 1, There are some gaps. At the time of punching, a hole (opening) 12 is formed in the inner lid body 10 at a position facing the holes (openings) 6 and 9.

  The lower surface of the folded surface portion of the outer lid body 11 of the lid body portion B configured as described above (the folded surface portion formed by folding along the one-dot chain line in FIG. 1: a region of length c) is the storage container. It is bonded to the upper surface of the first paper body 1 of the main body A. That is, the lid part B is bonded to the storage container body A so that the lid part B can be opened and closed. In particular, when the lid portion B is opened, the outer lid body 11 is bonded so as to cover a part of the arc-shaped hole (opening) 7. Of course, when the lid part B is opened, the remaining part of the arcuate hole (opening) 7 (area other than the part) is not covered by the outer lid body 11.

  The storage container main body A has a hook-and-loop fastener (Velcro tape: Velcro tape: registered trademark: hook-up tape) 13. The surface fastener 13 is attached to the upper surface of the third paper body 3 at a position corresponding to the holes (openings) 6 and 9. The surface fastener 13 is configured such that (thickness (height) of the surface fastener 13)> {(thickness of the first paper body 1) + (thickness of the second paper body 2)}. Accordingly, the surface fastener 13 is exposed from the holes (openings) 6 and 9. That is, the front end portion (surface portion) of the hook-and-loop fastener 13 attached to the upper surface of the third paper body 3 slightly protrudes from the upper surface of the first paper body 1. However, this protruding portion is a so-called fastener portion. Therefore, the protruding portion is pushed in when a force is applied. Therefore, in the closed state, the outermost surface portion of the protruding portion is almost flush with the upper surface of the first paper body 1.

  The outer lid body 11 has a hook-and-loop fastener (Velcro tape: Velcro tape: registered trademark: hook-up tape) 14. The surface fastener 14 is attached to the hole (opening) 12 in a state where the inner lid body 10 and the outer lid body 11 are folded. The surface fastener 14 is configured such that (thickness (height) of the surface fastener 14)> (thickness of the inner lid body 10). Therefore, the front end portion (front surface portion) of the surface fastener 14 slightly protrudes from the lower surface (back surface) of the inner lid body 10 in the closed state. However, this protruding portion is a so-called fastener portion. Therefore, the protruding portion is pushed in when a force is applied. Therefore, in the closed state, the outermost surface portion of the projecting portion is almost on the same surface as the lower surface (back surface) of the inner lid body 10.

  When the lid part B is turned and closed, the surface fastener 13 and the surface fastener 14 are intertwined, and the lid is locked.

  In the storage container according to the above-described embodiment, when the recording medium D is disposed in the hole (first recess: first opening) 4 and the lid B is in the closed state, the recording medium D is regulated by the lower surface of the outer lid body 11 at the position of the hole (opening) 7. At the position of the hole (opening) 4, the recording medium D is sandwiched between the upper surface of the second paper body 2 and the lower surface of the inner lid body 10. Further, the recording medium D is regulated by the inner peripheral surface of the hole (opening) 4 of the first paper body 1. Therefore, the recording medium D is held with little backlash.

  Even when the lid B is in the open state, the recording medium D is regulated so as to be sandwiched by the lower surface of the outer lid 11. The recording medium D is also restricted by the inner peripheral surface of the hole (opening) 4 of the first paper body 1. Therefore, it is difficult to drop out easily.

  However, when removing the recording medium D, as shown in FIG. 4, the fingers are positioned at the holes (openings) 5 and 8 and the fingers hanging on one end of the recording medium D are slightly lifted. Then, the other end of the recording medium D is fitted into the hole (opening) 7. Therefore, the recording medium D is easily in an oblique state. Therefore, the recording medium D can be easily taken out.

  In the present embodiment, there is no need for a member (claw) that hooks into the central hole of the recording medium D that is configured in the case of a plastic container. This simplifies the structure of the storage container. And the cost is also low. Even if there is no claw, as described above, the recording medium D is prevented from falling off. In the case of a conventional plastic storage container, a claw that hooks into the central hole of the recording medium D is required on the storage container main body. However, the operation of removing the hooks and taking out the recording medium D is difficult. That is, compared with the case of the storage container of this embodiment, the operation of taking out the recording medium D is more difficult in the case of the conventional plastic storage container. If the recording medium D is to be removed from the state of being hooked on the hooking claws, the recording medium D may bend in some cases. If this becomes severe, it seems that the recording medium D is damaged. However, such a concern is not the one of this embodiment.

  The fact that the recording medium D can be easily taken out means that the storage operation of the recording medium D is also easy.

  In the storage container of the above-described embodiment, the lid part B includes the inner lid body 10 and the outer lid body (the outer lid that is continuous from the inner lid body 10 and is folded along a predetermined fold. Body) 11. Therefore, when the lid is closed, the stored recording medium D is reliably covered with the inner lid body 10. That is, it is difficult to form a gap between the storage container main body A (first paper body 1) and the inner lid body 10. In particular, when the lid is closed, the outer lid body 11 presses the inner lid body 10 toward the storage container main body A (first paper body 1). For this reason, it is difficult to form a gap between the storage container main body A (first paper body 1) and the inner lid body 10. Therefore, dust and dust are difficult to enter. That is, it is difficult for dust and dirt to adhere to the stored recording medium D.

  The surface fastener 14 for closing and locking the lid part B is attached to the back side of the outer lid 11. In addition, an opening 12 is formed in the inner lid body 10 corresponding to the mounting position of the surface fastener 14. Accordingly, when the lid is closed, if the thickness of the hook-and-loop fastener 14 and the thickness of the inner lid body 10 are substantially the same, the hook-and-loop fastener 14 protrudes larger than the lower surface (back surface: inner surface) of the lid body portion (inner lid body 10). No. This means that it is difficult to form a gap between the upper surface of the storage container main body A (first paper body 1) and the lower surface of the lid body portion B (inner lid body 10) when the lid is closed. Therefore, dust and dust are difficult to enter inside. That is, it is difficult for dust and dirt to adhere to the stored recording medium D.

  The surface fastener 13 for closing and locking the lid portion B is attached to the upper surface of the third paper body 3 in the holes (openings) 6 and 9. Therefore, if (thickness of the surface fastener 13) and {(thickness of the first paper body 1) + (thickness of the second paper body 2)} are substantially the same, the surface fastener 13 is the first paper body. Do not pop out larger than the upper surface (surface) of 1. This means that it is difficult to form a gap between the upper surface of the storage container main body A (first paper body 1) and the lower surface of the lid body portion B (inner lid body 10) when the lid is closed. Therefore, dust and dust are difficult to enter inside. That is, it is difficult for dust and dirt to adhere to the stored recording medium D.

  The lid part B of the above embodiment includes an inner lid body 10 and an outer lid body 11. Therefore, for example, the surface area is large as compared with the case where the lid portion B is configured only by the outer lid body 11 (or the inner lid body 10). This means that the amount of information described (printed) increases. For example, when the content of the recording medium D is music, a sheet on which lyrics are printed is usually stored in a plastic container. In such a case, there is a high risk that the sheet will be lost. Losing the lyrics sheet is often very difficult. However, if lyrics etc. are printed on the surface of the cover part B, the problem of loss does not occur. As described above, it is very convenient to have the inner lid body 10 and the outer lid body 11 because the amount of written (printed) information increases. For example, information such as lyrics is not suitable for printing on the outer surface of the outer lid body 11. Then, only one surface of the inner surface (back surface) can be used for the outer lid body 11. Even if the inner lid 10 is printed and displayed on the two front and back surfaces, no major inconvenience occurs. That is, when the lid body portion B includes the inner lid body 10 and the outer lid body 11, three surfaces (an inner surface (back surface) of the outer lid body 11 and two front and back surfaces of the inner lid body 10, In contrast, when the lid B is only the inner lid 10 (or the outer lid 11), printing can be displayed on only one side. In other words, when configured as in the above embodiment, it is possible to cope with an increase in display information. Furthermore, since the lid part B is made of paper, printing is easy.

  FIG. 5 is an explanatory view of a storage container according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

  The storage container of the present embodiment and the storage container of the embodiment have the same basic technical idea. Since the attachment positions and shapes of the hook-and-loop fasteners 13 and 14 are different or the shape of the first paper body 1 is only slightly different, detailed description is omitted. In the present embodiment, a surface fastener 13 is provided at a position of a hole (opening) 5 for easily handling the edge of the recording medium D. For this reason, it is difficult to handle the edge of the recording medium D compared to the case of the above embodiment.
