[Industrial applications]

 INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention can efficiently and efficiently organize and store magnetic information recording plates such as floppy disks and compact disks, flat cards such as various credit cards and business cards, or dedicated cassette holders for these and other plate-like objects. It is about the storage case that can be done.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a case for storing a floppy disk or the like, for example, the simplest case is a rectangular parallelepiped case made of transparent plastic and the like. It has a structure that accommodates several to ten or more floppy disks. However, in a box-shaped case having such a structure, when the floppy disks and the like are stored near the full inside of the case, the floppy disks and the like overlap each other and the indexes on the surface of the floppy disk cannot be seen from the outside. When taking out, it is difficult to search only the intended floppy disk and take it out accurately. For this reason, it is necessary to store the floppy disk and the like in the case leaving a space where the index can be visually recognized. However, if the number of floppy disks, etc. stored in the case is reduced, the floppy disks, etc. will be held diagonally in the case, and the floppy disk will be removed when vibration or other external action is applied. There is a new problem that the case is prone to fall due to the imbalance of movement and unbalance of gravity.

On the other hand, in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-38477, a card fitting portion having a stepwise partition is attached to the main body so that one end of the card fitting portion is rotatable, and the card is inserted and removed. A card case configuration is disclosed in which the card-fitting portion is sometimes opened from the main body in a fan shape to hold the cards so that the space between the cards spreads out in a fan shape, and in other cases, the card-fitting portion is housed in the main body to be compact. ing. With this configuration, you can check the index and take out the target card when you take out the cards, and when you store it, stack all the cards to prevent the cards from moving inside the case and maintain good gravity balance. It means that you can do it.

Further, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-70377, a plurality of storage sections are connected in a bellows shape in parallel to accommodate a plurality of documents or cards, and the bellows are opened to take out the storage section. There is disclosed a document storage device that forms a space between each document or card stored in each, and otherwise closes the bellows to compactly store and hold the document or card.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the structure described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 58-38477 or Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-70377, when the main body is turned upside down while the card and the like are stored and held, only the pressing force of the storing portion of the card and the like is used. Therefore, there is a problem in that the cards and the like are held, and therefore the holding of the cards and the like is insufficient and the cards and the like fall out of the main body. In addition, when opening and closing the main body, the number of moving parts increases, and since the opening and closing operation is performed with the weight of all cards stored in these moving parts being applied, the moving parts are prone to wear and damage, and are easily broken. It has drawbacks. On the other hand, in the structure using the bellows, there is a strength defect that the bellows part is easily fatigued by repeated opening and closing operations. Therefore, these are not reliable in terms of reliable long-term storage of cards and the like.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention connects a rotatable lid for opening and closing a storage port of the case body to the upper part of the case body for storing the plate to be stored, and at least the inside of the case body. A storage case characterized in that one side wall is provided with a cushion material for pressing a side surface of the stored plate body toward the other side wall in the case body along the storage area of the stored plate body. The purpose is to provide. As the cushion material, for example, urethane material is suitable. As a structure for attaching the cushion material, the cushion material may be attached to a strip-shaped rigid core material that fits into a dovetail groove formed in the side wall of the case body.

[0007]

[Action]

 According to the present invention, the stored plate body is always pressed by the cushion material even when the stored plate body is stored in the case main body while leaving a space such that the index can be visually recognized. The stored plate is prevented from moving within the case, and uneven distribution of weight balance is suppressed. Further, since the opening of the case body is closed by the lid, the plate to be stored can be stored in the box-shaped case without falling off.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings, taking a storage case for a floppy disk as an example.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an opened state of a storage case for a floppy disk according to an embodiment of the present invention. One end of a lid 2 made of the same material is rotatably pivoted by a fulcrum 3 above a case body 1 made of plastic, bakelite, hard nylon, wood or the like, and the inside of the case body 1 stores a floppy disk. It becomes a space. The case body 1 is opened and closed by rotating the lid body 2. One edge of the lid body 2 abuts on the back wall of the case body 1 to determine the maximum opening angle. The maximum opening angle is set to 90 degrees or more compared to the closed state. The front wall of the case body 1 has a bottom left and right ends rotatably attached to the left and right side walls of the case body 1, and is a movable wall 5 that is opened outward together with the guides 4 located on both wings. Stripe-shaped cushioning material 6 made of urethane foam material is attached in parallel with the bottom surface near the center of the inner surface of the left and right side walls of the case body 1. A convex portion 7 is formed on the other edge of the lid body 2, and a groove 8 that engages with the convex portion 7 is formed on the upper end of the movable wall 5. When the projection 7 and the groove 8 are closed, they are fitted to each other to connect the lid 2 and the movable wall 5.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating a usage state of the storage case for the floppy disk shown in FIG. A floppy disk 9, which is a plate to be stored, is inserted into the case body 1. When the storage case is opened, the lid 2 is opened outward, and the movable wall 5 is similarly tilted outward so that a space sufficient for taking in and out the floppy disk 9 is formed in the storage case. The left and right side surfaces of the floppy disk 9 are pressed and fixed in the case body 1 by cushioning materials 6 attached to the left and right side walls of the case body 1. That is, the distance between the cushion members 6 is set to be slightly smaller than the width of the floppy disk 9. Therefore, when the floppy disk 9 is inserted between the cushion members 6, the cushion members 6 are compressed and deformed, respectively. The force pushes the floppy disk 9 from the left and right, and the elastic force fixes and fixes the floppy disk 9 at the insertion position. This floppy disk 9 can be easily taken in and out by manually moving it up and down. When the floppy disk 9 is removed, the cushion material 6 returns to its original shape. The movable wall 5 is tilted and supported at an arbitrary angle by the frictional force when sliding between the guide 4 and the left and right side walls of the case body 1. However, when the movable wall 5 is opened almost parallel to the bottom surface of the case body 1, the guide wall 4 is opened. The projection at the tip of the abutment abuts on the cushion material 6 and the opening operation is stopped.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view when the storage case for the floppy disk shown in FIG. 1 is closed. 4 is a front sectional view of FIG. When the storage case is closed, the lid 2 closes the upper part of the case body 1, the movable wall 5 contacts the case body 1, and the convex portion 7 at the tip of the lid 2 fits into the groove 8 on the upper part of the movable wall 5. Then, the box-shaped storage case is assembled. The lid 2 and the movable wall 5 keep the storage case closed by frictional force, so that the floppy disk 9 will not fall out of the storage case even when the storage case is reversed.

As a mounting structure of the cushion material 6, foamed urethane material formed in a stripe shape is directly attached to the left and right side walls of the case body 1 with an adhesive or the like, or as shown in FIG. The cushioning material 6 is attached to the belt-shaped rigid core material 10 that fits into the dovetail grooves engraved on the left and right side walls of the. As the rigid core material 10, plastic, bakelite, nylon, metal or the like is used. With the configuration shown in FIG. 5, the cushion material 6 can be taken out together with the rigid core material 10 when the cushion material 6 has lost its elastic force due to fatigue, so that the cushion material 6 can be easily replaced.

FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing an opened state and a used state of a floppy disk storage case according to another embodiment of the present invention. The same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 indicate the same contents, and the description thereof will be omitted. The storage case of this embodiment is horizontally long so that the floppy disks 9 can be stored in two rows, and a partition plate 11 is arranged at the center of the case body 1. The width between the left and right side walls of the case body 1 and the partition plate 11 is set to be slightly smaller than the width of the floppy disk 9. Therefore, the floppy disk 9 is pressed toward the central partition plate 11 by the cushion members 6 provided on both left and right side walls of the case body 1. The partition plate 11 may be made of the same material as the case body 1, but if it is made of a member having a roughened surface or a member having elasticity, the floppy disk 9 moves on the partition plate 11. Is suppressed, which is more effective in fixing and positioning the floppy disk 9.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a closed state of the storage case for the floppy disk shown in FIG. The configuration in the closed state is basically the same as that of the above-mentioned embodiment except that the floppy disks 9 are accommodated in two rows, but in this embodiment, a rectangular concave portion 12 is formed in the upper center of the lid body 2. The cover 2 is provided and is configured so that the opening / closing operation of the lid 2 can be facilitated by hooking a fingertip on the recess 12. A through hole may be formed instead of the recess 12.

In each of the above-described embodiments, when the floppy disk 9 is taken out, each floppy disk 9 is housed and arranged in the case body 1 with a sufficient space so that the index attached to the floppy disk 9 can be set. It is easily visible. At the same time, the movable wall 5 can be tilted outward (toward this side), and the floppy disk 9 can be taken out very easily. Further, since the stored floppy disk 9 is constantly pressed and held by the cushion material 6, it does not move or rattling within the case body 1. When the storage case is closed, the opening of the case body 1 is closed by the lid body 2 and the lid body 2 and the movable wall 5 are fixed, so that even if the storage case is tumbled, the floppy disk 9 can be stored in the storage case. Will never fall out of.

In the above embodiment, the cushion member 6 does not necessarily have to be provided on the left and right side walls of the case body 1 in the case of the configuration of FIG. 1, but is attached only on one side and the floppy disk between the other side wall. 9 may be fixed by pressing, and in the case of the configuration of FIG. 6, not only the left and right side walls of the case body 1 but also the central partition plate 11 may be attached. The shape of the cushion member 6 is not limited to the stripe shape, but may be formed in a rectangular shape over a wide portion of the side wall, or may be formed in a stripe shape in two or more rows above and below. In addition to the above-mentioned floppy discs, various types of cards such as compact discs (CDs), laser discs, business cards, credit cards, hard documents, plate-shaped stationery, and the like can be applied to the accommodated plates applicable to the present invention. Various things are available.

[0017]

[Effect of device]

 According to the present invention, it is possible to store the plate to be stored in the case body while fixing and positioning the space such that the index or the like can be visually recognized. Further, in this case, since the plate to be housed is constantly pressed and held by the cushion material, it is possible to effectively prevent the plate to be housed from moving in the case, and the weight balance is unevenly distributed. It can be suppressed and the storage case can be placed stably. In addition, since the opening of the case body is closed by the lid, the plate to be stored can be stored in the box-shaped case without falling off, which improves the reliability of organizing and storing. The storage case is easy to assemble and is suitable for mass production.
