After inserting the spacer 1 holding the two floppy disks into the bottom 3 of the case body 2, the outer cover 4 is bent so as to cover the spacer 1 and engaged with the cutout hole 17 for the locking piece with the locking piece 16. It is a mailing case that holds two floppy disks that can be stopped.

In more detail, one sheet of relatively thin corrugated paper (it can be laminated with a waterproof film to obtain waterproofness) or a foamed synthetic resin sheet material is used. Punching is performed as in the developed state shown in. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the bottom 1 of the main body, which is contained within the standard of a standard size mail (for example, a large size postcard), has a side wall 6 on one of the left and right long sides 5 when viewed in the longitudinal direction. A flap 7 is provided on the other side, and a cutout hole 17 for engagement corresponding to the shape of the engagement piece 16 is formed on the flap side of the bottom 3 of the main body. An outer lid 4 having a slightly large length is provided, a locking piece 16 is further provided on the long side 5 and a folding flap 10 is provided above and below the short side 9 in a substantially central portion.

Since the cutout hole 17 for the engaging piece is formed on the flap side as can be understood from FIG. 1, when the mailing case main body 2 is assembled, the bottom of the main body is made flat so that the height is flush. 1 is cut out. And the bottom part 3 of the main body

When the corner cutouts 12 are located on the diagonal line, leave the flesh 20 so as to match the cutouts 12 of the floppy disk by half in the thickness direction, one on the upper side and the other on the lower side. To It is preferable to form a thin portion so that the meat portion 20 can be easily removed further.

The outer shape of the spacer 1 is substantially the same as a postcard that fits when it is stored in the main body bottom portion 3 of the case main body 2 that fits within the standard of the standard postal matter.

As described above, the flat corrugated paper or the foamed synthetic resin sheet in the unfolded state is punched out, and each crease 21 corresponding to the ruled line is utilized to sequentially fold and assemble as shown in FIG.

To explain this in detail, the spacer 1
Two floppy disks are inserted and locked in the floppy disk insertion hole 11 as shown in FIG. 3, placed on the bottom 3 of the mailing case body 1, and the left flap 7 is bent through the fold line 21. The outer cover 10 is bent through the folds 21 so as to be aligned with the cutout holes 8 formed in the side wall 6 that engages with the protruding portion 13 of the spacer 1, and the locking piece is further formed. 16 is bent through the fold line 21 for the locking piece, the locking piece 16 is engaged and locked in the cutout hole 17 for the locking piece formed in the bottom portion 3 of the main body, and finally, on the short side 9 of the outer lid 4. The folded back flap 10 is formed by cutting in a substantially central portion and is folded down through a fold line 21.

When the mailing case for the floppy disk is assembled, this is expanded with the inside surface up, as shown in FIG. 1, and the spacer 1 holding the two floppy disks is placed as shown in FIG. Then, the left and right side walls 6 are bent so as to cover the spacer 1 via the long side folds 21, and further,
The outer lid 4 is bent so as to cover the upper side of the spacer 1 through the fold line 21, and finally the locking piece 16 is bent and inserted into the locking cutout hole 17, and this portion is sealed with a seal or the like. By doing so, the spacer 1 containing two floppies can be protected and stored, and can be mailed in this state.

6 and the locking piece fold 21 are not provided, and the locking piece cutout hole 17 of the main body bottom portion 3 is not provided, and the bent end can be simply locked by an adhesive seal or the like.

Then, an address and a written address sticker are attached to the surface of the outer lid 4 or written directly and mailed.

In order to take out the floppy from the mailed one, the sticker attached to the locking piece 16 is peeled off, the outer lid 4 is opened, and the finger is inserted from the polygonal hole 14 for inserting a finger. You can take out the floppy easily.

If the amount of cutout is increased, the weight becomes lighter, but a problem of strength arises. Therefore, the part to be cut out is determined by making the best use of the part that needs to be cut out. Nevertheless, strength is taken into account.

A specific embodiment has been described above. However, if the design is mainly to reduce the weight, the problem of strength will occur if the cutout amount is increased. However, when designing mainly for strength, it is possible to increase the thickness and reduce the cutout portion at the same time, especially for those using corrugated paper, but it becomes heavy and the thickness exceeds 1 cm. Postage will be high.

It goes without saying that various designs can be made by designing the above contradictory points in a well-balanced manner so that the total weight of the spacer, the mailing case, and the stored floppy disk is within 50 g.

Next, referring to FIG. 4, the mailing case body for housing the above-mentioned two floppies is used together when two sets of two floppies are put together and three to four floppies are mailed. The mailing case for mailing multiple floppies will be described.

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a multi-floppy mailing case having a side wall having a height capable of accommodating two sets of two floppy mailing cases, wherein the case body 1 is made of corrugated cardboard paper or a foam synthetic resin sheet.
