[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a holder for accommodating and fixing a disk cartridge containing a flexible magnetic recording medium (floppy disk), and more specifically, to a holder for easily accommodating the disk cartridge. Regarding the cartridge holder.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 With the widespread use of personal computers in recent years, many books have been published that describe the contents of software and how to use it. There is a disk cartridge that stores a floppy disk, which is a flexible magnetic recording medium in which sample programs are recorded, sold together as an appendix.

However, conventionally, after the book and the disc cartridge are separately packaged and transported, the book and the disc cartridge are manually attached and sold one by one at a bookstore, which is extremely expensive. Not only was the efficiency inefficient, but the disk cartridge that was inserted between the pages of the book and secured with rubber bands could fall out or be stolen. For this reason, there is a demand for a cartridge holder that does not cause a trouble such as the disc cartridge falling off from the book when the disc cartridge is handled together with the book.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention has a cartridge having a structure as shown in FIG. 5 or 6 as a holder for accommodating and fixing a floppy disk which can be bound together with a large number of sheets during bookbinding work. The holder 10 was prototyped and the test was repeated. The cartridge holder 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 5. A base 20 molded in a flat plate shape using corrugated cardboard or cardboard has a storage recess 30 having a rectangular opening on its side surface 21, and the inside thereof is recessed. A disk cartridge 90 having a built-in 3.5-inch size floppy disk is accommodated therein. In addition, a holding portion 40, which is a thin plate-shaped holding means for fixing the disc cartridge 90 housed in the housing recess 30 so as not to fall off, is provided in the housing recess 30 on one side edge of the recess 30. It is stretched between 32 and the other side edge 33. Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the end portion of the disc cartridge 90 is inserted from one side of the opening of the storage recess 30 which is divided into two by the holding portion 40, and the end portion of the holding portion 40 is formed. It is inserted between the storage recess and the bottom 31.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 By the way, in the cartridge holder 10 shown in FIG. 5, in order to prevent the disc cartridge 90 from rattling in the storage recess 30 when a book is transported, the holding portion 40 and the bottom portion 31 of the storage recess 30 are provided. It is desirable that the distance between the and is substantially equal to or slightly smaller than the thickness of the disc cartridge 90.

Further, at the final stage of the bookbinding work process of the book in which the cartridge holder 10 is bound, there is a cutting process called finish cutting of the book. This finishing cutting is performed by cutting the edges of the books on three sides by a cutting machine. Usually, the books are stacked on the cutting table in plural stages, and the stacked books are pressed from above by pressing means. After that, the three edges are cut by a cutter.

Therefore, at the time of this cutting, although the disk cartridge 90 is stored in the storage recess 30 shown in FIG. 6, the pressure of the pressing means causes the disk cartridge 90 to be stored in the cartridge case of the disk cartridge 90. The pressing force acts. Further, the floppy disk in the disk cartridge 90 is appropriately protected in the cartridge case so that both surfaces thereof are covered with a liner such as a nonwoven fabric. A lifter having an appropriate elasticity is provided between the liner on one side and the inner surface of the cartridge case. On the inner surface of the cartridge case on the side facing the lifter, a plurality of circumferentially extending portions are provided as shown in FIG. Ribs 91 are arranged in the disk radial direction so as to project toward the disk surface.

Therefore, when the pressing force of the pressing means is applied to the cartridge holder 10 during the cutting process, the pressing force also acts on the cartridge case, and particularly the surface of the floppy disk pressed by the rib 91 is deformed and fails. It has been found that Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to bind together a large number of paper sheets during bookbinding work and to avoid deformation of the cartridge case or the disc-shaped information recording medium. The purpose is to provide a cartridge holder that can be used.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The above object of the present invention is configured so that a disc cartridge containing a disc-shaped information recording medium is stored and held in a storage recess formed in a side surface of a flat plate-like non-flexible substrate and then bound to a book. In the cartridge holder, an opening is provided at the bottom of the storage recess at least at a position corresponding to a rib portion projecting on the inner wall of the disc cartridge toward the disc surface of the disc-shaped information recording medium. The cartridge holder is characterized in that the bottom portion is configured so that a pressing force cannot be applied to the disk surface via the rib portion.

In addition, a perforation that is continuous with the opening is provided at the bottom of the storage recess, and there is an opening means that breaks the bottom of the storage recess and serves as a clue when the disk cartridge is taken out from the cartridge holder. This is accomplished by the cartridge holder being constructed. Further, the non-flexible base body has a middle plate part having a substantially rectangular opening cut out to form the storage recess on the bottom plate part forming the bottom part in which the opening part is arranged, and a disk cartridge. The opening and the upper plate part, which is cut out so that the peripheral edge substantially overlaps with each other so as to leave a holding part capable of holding the storage concave part, are integrally formed by a plate material made of cardboard or corrugated board, and the base body is bent. This is achieved by the cartridge holder, which is adapted to be superposed.

[0011]

Embodiment

 Hereinafter, a cartridge holder according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is an overall perspective view of a cartridge holder 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view of the cartridge holder 100, and FIG. 3 is a development view of the cartridge holder 100.

The cartridge holder 100 is composed of a plate-shaped non-flexible base 110, and a storage recess 140 is formed on one side surface 111 of the non-flexible base 110. The holding portion 150, which is a thin strip-shaped holding means for preventing the disc cartridge 90 containing the 3.5-inch size floppy disc from falling out, is provided with one side edge 144 and the other side edge 14 of the storage recess 140. It is stretched between 5 and.

The non-flexible substrate 110 in this embodiment has a flat bottom plate portion 170 that forms the bottom portion 146 of the storage recess 140 and a thickness that can store the disc cartridge 90, as shown in FIG. 3, for example. An intermediate plate portion 180 having a rectangular opening 181 having a size punched out and an upper plate portion 190 having a punched-out cartridge insertion opening 141 and a storage side opening 142 whose peripheral edges substantially overlap the opening 181 are integrated. For example, it is made of cardboard, and the non-flexible substrate 110 is folded and appropriately attached to form an integrated structure as shown in FIG.

The bottom plate portion 170 is formed with a rectangular opening 171 which is an opening portion arranged at a position corresponding to the rib 91 of the disc cartridge ridge 90 stored in the storage recess 140. The bottom portion 146 of the storage recess 140 is configured so that a pressing force cannot be applied to the disk surface of the floppy disk via the rib 91.

Triangular protrusions 182 are continuously punched into a wavy shape on the inner peripheral edge of the opening 181. The distance between the tip portions of the projecting portions 182 facing each other on each of the opposite sides of the inner peripheral edge is slightly smaller than the cartridge size of the disc cartridge 90. As a result, when the disc cartridge 90 is stored in the storage recess 140, the disc cartridge 90 is clamped and fixed by the projecting portion 182.

A holding portion 150 is formed in the upper plate portion 190 by punching out the cartridge insertion opening 141 and the storage side opening 142, and the lower end edge of the holding portion 150 has a central portion in the longitudinal direction. A substantially semicircular protrusion 151 is formed. When the protrusion 151 is formed in this way, as shown in FIG. 1, the disc cartridge 90 is inserted from the cartridge insertion port 141 side between the holding portion 150 and the bottom portion 146 of the storage recess 140. At this time, the front end portion of the protrusion 151 comes into contact with the side surface near the insertion tip of the disc cartridge 90 (side surface portions on the front and back surfaces of the cartridge depending on the insertion angle at the time of insertion). Accordingly, the holding portion 150 is curved so as to be separated from the bottom portion 146 of the storage recess 140, so that the space between the holding portion 150 and the bottom portion 146 is widened and the disc cartridge 90 is easily inserted into the storage recess 140. be able to.

When assembling the non-flexible substrate 110 shown in FIG. 3, the bending portion 201 is bent and the middle plate portion 180 is overlaid on the bottom plate portion 170 (folding in the arrow X direction) and bonded. Then, the other bent portion 202 is bent, and the upper plate portion 190 is superposed on the middle plate portion 180 (folded in the arrow Y direction) and appropriately bonded. In this way, by cutting out one plate into a desired shape and bending and stacking it, not only the process of cutting out the material of the cartridge holder is completed once, but also there is only one member during assembly and handling is easy. It is also excellent in assembly workability. Of course, the bottom, middle, and upper plate portions 170, 180, 190 may not be integrally formed, and the non-flexible substrate 110 may be formed by laminating three separate cardboards. Good. Further, as the material of each of the cartridge holders, corrugated cardboard, synthetic resin or the like can be used instead of cardboard.

Therefore, when the cartridge holder 100 is configured as described above, it is pressed from above by the pressing means at the time of finishing cutting in the bookbinding work step of the book in which the holder containing the disk cartridge 90 is bound. Even when the pressure is applied, since the opening 171 is formed at the position of the bottom plate portion 170 corresponding to the rib 91 of the disc cartridge 90 accommodated in the accommodation recess 140, the bottom portion of the accommodation recess 140 is formed. 146 does not apply a pressing force to the disk surface of the floppy disk via the rib 91, and the problem that the surface of the floppy disk is deformed is avoided.

FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the cartridge holder 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that components substantially similar to those of the cartridge holder 100 of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted. In the bottom portion 223 of the bottom plate portion 220 of the cartridge holder 200, as in the cartridge holder 100 described above, there is an opening portion provided at a position corresponding to the rib 91 of the disc cartridge 90 accommodated in the accommodation recess 140. A rectangular opening 221 is formed so that the bottom portion 223 of the storage recess 140 cannot apply a pressing force to the disk surface of the floppy disk via the rib 91.

Further, the bottom portion 223 is provided with perforations 222 that are continuous with the opening 221 and are formed in a rectangular shape that is substantially the same as the outer shape of the disc cartridge 90 accommodated in the accommodation recess 140. The opening means is configured as a clue when the disc cartridge 90 is taken out from the cartridge holder 200 by breaking the bottom portion 223. Therefore, when the disc cartridge 90 is taken out from the cartridge holder 200, the disc cartridge 90 can be easily taken out by hanging the fingertip on the opening 221 and pulling it to break the perforations 222. It

In each of the above embodiments, the opening provided at the bottom of the storage recess is formed in a rectangular shape based on the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to this, and a circular shape. It goes without saying that various shapes and sizes such as a circle and an ellipse can be adopted. Further, the shape of the perforations continuously provided to the opening to form the unsealing means can take various shapes and sizes. It is needless to say that various changes can be made to other components such as the storage recess and the holding portion of the cartridge holder based on the gist of the present invention.

Furthermore, each of the above embodiments has described the cartridge holder for accommodating the disk cartridge having the built-in 3.5-inch size floppy disk, but the present invention is applicable to the disk cartridge having another disk-shaped information recording medium. Is also applicable.
