[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement in a storage case having a case body in which a reel receiver of a cassette tape such as a video is projected, and a lid covering the case body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a reel holder of a storage case for a cassette tape such as a video has a simple cylindrical shape. There were drawbacks. Further, even if the reel is restrained, the case for storing the tape relatively moves, and it is difficult to fix the tape in the storage case.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention] This invention was created in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and its main problems are:
An object of the present invention is to provide a storage case that is fixed together with a cassette tape and does not rattle.

[0004]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a reel body for projecting a reel receiver for a cassette tape and a lid for covering the case body are provided. It is formed of a substantially cylindrical body, and a plurality of vertically extending slits are formed at equal intervals, and a peripheral wall formed along the outer periphery of the case main body has a buffer protrusion that abuts a tape case to be stored. The buffer projection is formed by projecting inward and forming a window hole extending downward to the peripheral wall by cutting the lower portion of the buffer projection in a horizontal direction, and forming a short piece of a vertical width extending horizontally upward. Technical measures are taken to increase the elasticity of the piece. In the invention of claim 2,
In addition to the above configuration, a ring-shaped boss portion having a diameter larger than that of the reel receiver and fitted in a reel hole of a cassette tape case is provided outside the reel receiver separately from the reel receiver. Taking technical measures.

[0005]

The reel of the cassette tape fits into the reel receiver of the storage case. At this time, if force is applied to the reel receiving,
Since the cassette tape is biased outwardly to be repelled, the cassette tape can be restrained without difficulty. In addition, since the buffer projection is provided on the peripheral wall of the case body, even if the tape case abuts or presses, it can bend by increasing the rebound force inward, so the tape case is restrained in the storage case. can do. Further, by providing a boss portion and fitting the boss portion into the reel hole of the tape case, the tape case can be restrained and rattling can be suppressed.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A storage case according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The storage case 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a case body 3 having an inner peripheral wall 2 erected in a rectangular shape and a lid 5 having an outer peripheral wall 4 erected in a U-shape.
And a back cover piece 6 connecting the two 3 and 5 via hinge portions V1 and V2 formed of V grooves. A pair of reel receivers 7 are provided upright on the case body 3.

The reel receiver 7 has a columnar shape, and has slits 8 formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. In this embodiment, the reel receiver 7 is set to have a slightly smaller diameter than the reel of the cassette tape, but may have the same or larger diameter. In this case, the upper end is preferably set to a tapered surface that is inclined inward so as to have a smaller diameter than the diameter of the reel.

By providing a plurality of slits 8 in the reel receiver 7 as described above, it is possible to bend repulsively even if a force is applied from any direction. Therefore, the force applied to the cassette tape can be buffered at the reel receiver 7.

Next, a boss 9 having a large diameter and arranged in a ring shape protrudes outside the reel receiver 7. This boss 9
Is fitted in the reel hole of the tape case with almost no gap, and is set slightly smaller than the diameter of the reel hole. In the illustrated example, the height of the boss 9 is set so as to match the thickness of the stored tape case.
Thereby, the tape case can be fixed by the boss portion 9, and the reel can be restrained by the reel receiver 7, and the cassette tape can be positioned in the case main body 3.

Next, a cushioning protrusion 41 is formed on the peripheral wall 4 of the case body 3. As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the buffer protrusion protrudes inward from the peripheral wall 4 so as to be able to abut a tape case to be stored. The protruding shape of the buffering protrusion 41 is not particularly limited. For example, the protruding shape may be a trapezoidal shape as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, may be protruded in an arc shape as shown in FIG. It can be appropriately formed, for example, in a shape of projecting in an arcuate shape in two rows.

The cushioning projection 41 may be configured to be thinner than the other peripheral walls 4 so as to be easily bent and have elasticity. In this case, the lower end of the buffer protrusion 41 is
May be connected to the bottom wall 3a, but it is preferable to separate the bottom wall 3a from the bottom wall 3a because the flexibility and elasticity can be further enhanced.

In this embodiment, the buffer projection 41 is set to have the same thickness as the other peripheral walls 4. And the buffer protrusion 41
Has a window hole 42 cut out in the lateral direction along the bottom wall 3a of the case body as shown in FIGS. 3, 5, and 6, respectively. In addition, the buffer protrusion 41 shown in FIG. 4 has a window hole 42 which is cut out in the middle in the middle. Thereby, the buffer protrusion 41 has elasticity, and can exhibit elasticity capable of repelling inward.

With this arrangement, the cassette tape can be supported by the reel receiver 7 so as to be bufferable at the reel portion, and the boss portion 9 can restrain the reel hole of the tape case. Furthermore, since the buffer protrusion 41 abuts against the outer periphery of the tape case and can buffer the force applied to the tape case, the cassette tape can be positioned and protected without burdening the cassette tape. it can.

[0014]

According to the present invention, the cassette case can be held and accommodated while buffering, so that even if an impact force is applied, the cassette case can be sufficiently buffered, which is beneficial. Further, since the boss portion is separate from the reel receiver, there is no fear that the cassette case alone is restrained and the reel built in the cassette case is pressed upward. Further, since it can be molded by injection molding, it is suitable for mass production and cost reduction can be achieved.
