[Outline of the device]

 The present invention is a container having a main body and a lid attached to the main body by an opening / closing shaft, and the lid is provided with an accommodating portion capable of accommodating a flat container substantially parallel to a surface thereof. A container for storing a recording medium is provided.

[0006]

[Specific example]

 Next, the present invention will be described in more detail based on specific examples. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a concrete example in which the storage container for recording medium of the present invention is used as a storage container for CD, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, and FIG. It is a perspective view showing a lid body, and shows a place where a CD case is put inside the lid body.

The storage container 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 stores a plurality of CD cases 2 which are flat containers made of plastic containing one CD. The storage container 1 has a main body 10 having a substantially cubic shape, and a transparent lid 20 attached to the main body 10 via an opening / closing shaft 21.

A total of four claws 22 are provided on each of the upper side and the lower side on the inner surface of the lid body 20, so that the individual CD case 2 can be housed in a position substantially parallel to the surface of the lid body. The container storage 23 is formed.

In the specific example illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, the lid 20 is transparent, and the empty individual CD case 2 held in the flat container housing portion 23 inside thereof can be observed from the outside. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the lid 20 has its opening / closing shaft 21 slid inside the main body 10 and is housed in the lid housing portion 16 provided inside the side wall of the main body 10.

In order to see through the CD case 2 inside the lid 20, the lid is transparent as described above, an opening is provided in a part of the lid, or the lid is a mesh material. Other means such as Further, contrary to the flat container storage portion 23 of this specific example, the flat container storage portion may be provided outside the lid body by providing a claw on the outside of the lid body. In this case, it is not necessary to use a transparent material such as a transparent cover.

On the other hand, the main body 10 has the openable and closable lid body 20 attached to the front opening. In addition, partition projections 11 are formed at right and left positions above and below the inner surface of the main body in a direction perpendicular to the opening surface of the container main body to form guide grooves, and a plurality of CDs are vertically aligned and stored. The partitioning projection may be a partition plate extending from the upper surface to the lower surface of the main body 10. Inside the body back surface 12 of the container, there is provided a spring 13 that pushes the CD case 2 standing up side by side in the guide groove forward toward the opening of the container body 10. A step is provided near the opening on the bottom surface of the guide groove to form a stopper 14 for preventing the CD case from jumping forward. A movable handle 15 that can be stored in the upper surface of the container body is provided outside the container for storing the recording medium.

When playing or using a CD, the upper back surface of the CD case 2 arranged toward the container opening surface is pushed with a finger to incline, and the lower back surface of the case is lifted to get over the stopper 14. By doing so, the CD case is pushed forward by the spring 13 and comes out of the guide groove. While taking out the selected CD from the case, the empty CD case is placed in the flat container storage portion 23 inside the lid body 20 and the lid body 20 is closed as it is. In this way, the CD jacket being played is observed through the lid 20 from the outside of the storage container. After the performance, the empty CD case on the lid 20 can be immediately taken out, and the CD body can be easily returned to the case.
