[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a case for storing a cassette tape case in an upright position.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Many cassette tape cases of standard shape molded to have a thickness of 17.0 mm have been distributed.
Small cassette tape cases of 0 mm have also become available. Therefore, there is a storage case 1 made of synthetic resin shown in FIG. 5 so as to be able to store any of these two types of cassette tape cases.

The storage case 1 is composed of a plurality of holders 2 which hold both of two types of cassette tape cases A and B in an upright and detachable manner.
Are formed side by side, and a space between two opposing partition walls is formed as a holder portion 2. The partition wall 3 is disposed at an interval that sandwiches the standard-shaped cassette tape case A in the thickness direction thereof.
To be held by sandwiching the partition wall 3. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, ribs 4 are provided upright at opposing positions on both side surfaces of the base 30 of each of the partition walls 3. The rib 4 is for holding the above-mentioned small cassette tape case B in a detachable manner, and between the two opposing partition walls 3, that is, in each of the holder portions 2, this rib 4 holds the small cassette tape case B. They face each other at an interval sandwiched in the thickness direction. As described above, since each of the holder portions 2 is provided so as to hold any of the two types of cassette tape cases, the user is not required to care about the storage location of the cassette tape cases. .

As shown in FIG. 8, it has been proposed to provide a rib 4 'with a spring property so that the rib 4' can protrude and retract from the side surface of the partition wall 3. This is a standard cassette tape. When a case is mounted, the partition wall 3 is held between the ribs 4 'and between the ribs 4'. When a small cassette tape case is mounted, the partition wall 3 is held between the ribs 4 '. there were.

[0005]

Although the thickness of the standard cassette tape case is relatively stable, the thickness of the small cassette tape case which is currently in circulation varies. Many.
And since the sandwiching by the ribs is performed by minute deformation of the part where the ribs are provided, when a plurality of small cassette tape cases are put in the above-mentioned conventional storage case, the ribs are provided by accumulation with variations. The deformed portion is deformed so as to be pushed out in the lateral direction, and the amount of deformation gradually increases, so that there has been a problem that the small cassette tape case cannot be fitted into some holder portions.

Further, in the latter case having a rib having a spring property, the spring property of the rib is reduced due to repeated sandwiching, or when the case is installed in a hot cabin of an automobile, However, there has been a problem that the small cassette tape case cannot be held because the rib itself is easily deformed.

In view of the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to reliably hold a small cassette tape case having a large error in the thickness dimension, and to store two types of cassette tape cases in one unit. It is intended to be able to be processed in a storage case.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and has a plurality of partition walls arranged at intervals so as to sandwich a cassette tape case having a standard shape in a thickness direction thereof. A rib is provided on each of the opposed base side surfaces of the opposed partition walls, and the ribs on the opposed base side surfaces have a smaller thickness than the standard-shaped cassette tape case. In a storage case made of synthetic resin capable of holding two kinds of cassette tape cases provided so as to be able to be sandwiched in the thickness direction, the partition wall is a base side surface on one side in the same direction side.
Is provided with a rib at the center thereof, and the base on one side in the other direction side
The object of the present invention is to solve the above problem by providing a storage case for a cassette tape case, characterized in that a rib is provided on each side of the side surface.

[0009]

In the present invention, when the standard-shaped cassette tape case is mounted on the holder, the standard-shaped cassette tape case is sandwiched between the opposing partition walls.
When the small cassette tape case is attached to the holder, the rib on one partition wall and the other
The rib of the partition wall will be pinched. Then, the base of the partition wall provided with the abutting ribs undergoes minute retreating deformation so as to absorb the variation.

[0010]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 5 to FIG. 8 are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the conventional example, and the description thereof is omitted. In the present invention, the partition wall 3 forming the holder 2
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, each of the bases 30 has a rib 4 a protruding at the center on one side, and the other side has ribs 4 b, 4 c protruding from the side on each side. Are positioned so that they do not alternately face each other. The ribs 4a provided on one base are also not located in front of the ribs 4d and 4e provided on the other base, even between the opposing partition walls 3.

When a cassette tape case having a standard shape is placed in the holder portion 2 on which ribs are laid out as described above, the cassette tape case is held so as to be sandwiched between the partition walls 3 as in the related art. Further, when the small cassette tape case B is inserted, as shown in FIG. 3, the portion provided with the ribs 4 is deformed so as to be finely retracted, and an error in the thickness dimension of the cassette tape case B is absorbed. And hold it. Even if the portion provided with the ribs retreats, no rib is provided on the opposing portion, so that the adjacent holder portion is not affected.

FIG. 4 shows a second embodiment. In this embodiment, the case bottom surface 5 located near the rib 4 is opened along the partition wall 3. Since the opening 6 extends along the base on which the ribs 4 are provided as described above, this portion is easily deformed.

[0013]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention,
The storage case of the cassette tape case has a plurality of partition walls arranged at intervals so as to sandwich the cassette tape case of the standard shape in the thickness direction, and a rib is provided on each of the opposed base side surfaces of the opposing partition walls. Is provided so that a small cassette tape case having a smaller thickness than the standard-shaped cassette tape case can be sandwiched in the thickness direction between the ribs on the opposing base side surfaces,
A synthetic resin storage case capable of holding two types of cassette tape cases, wherein the partition wall has one surface in the same direction.
A rib is provided at the center of the base side surface of
Ribs are provided on each side of the base side surface on one side
Is what it is.

Thus, even if a small cassette tape case having a variation in the thickness dimension is inserted, the rib portion is deformed backward and the error is reliably absorbed, and the adjacent holder portion is also affected. Thus, a plurality of small cassette tape cases can be arranged side by side, and the function as a dual-purpose storage case is ensured.
