[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a disk storage case that can easily and easily take out a disk such as a DVD, a CD, an MD, and a CD-ROM.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 The above-described discs are commercially available as storage media for audio, images, and other information. In particular, recently, DVD has been known as a new media that can record high-quality and high-quality video and various kinds of sounds and subtitles in the same size as CD. Therefore, it is necessary to safely manage and transport them. For example, as a device for storing a disk such as a CD, a storage bag made of a synthetic resin made of a soft synthetic resin is attached, and a plurality of these storage bags are stored in a plurality of files. However, although these CD files are convenient to use, they have problems in durability, strength, and the like, and have problems such as damage to the recording surface of the disk and adhesion of dirt on the disk surface.

[0005] In order to prevent the above-mentioned drawbacks, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, it is made of a hard synthetic resin, and is constituted by an upper lid 31 and a lower lid 32 around a long side thereof as a pivot. A rectangular case main body 30 is provided, and a circular storage portion 33 with which a DVD (hereinafter, referred to as a disk) 40 is engaged is formed on the inner surface of the lower cover 32. A clamp body 34 in which the set hole 41 is fitted is erected, and the clamp body 34 is formed by forming a plurality of clamp pieces 35 erected radially at equal intervals on an annular body having a predetermined diameter. . The clamp piece 35 is formed by standing upright on a support 36 provided below the clamp body 34 and a vertical groove 37 also provided radially. The diameter of the clamp body 34 is slightly smaller than the diameter of the disc 40. When the set hole 41 of the disk 40 is fitted into the clamp body 34, the clamp body 34 expands due to the elastic force of the clamp body 34. The opened disk 40 is elastically supported by the clamp body 34 and the disk 40 is fixed to the case body 30. When the disc 40 is to be removed, if the diameter of the clamp body 34 is reduced against the resilience of the clamp body 34, the set hole 41 of the disc 40 comes off and the disc 40 is taken out. At this time, as shown in the figure, circular take-out guides 42 are formed at the four corners of the circular storage portion 33, and a hand is inserted into the take-out guides 42 to assist in removing the disc. In the figure, reference numeral 43 denotes a projection of the upper lid 31 for fitting with the lower lid 32, and reference numeral 44 denotes a concave portion of the lower lid 32 for fitting with the upper lid 31.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 In the conventional storage case described above, the operation of pinching the outer peripheral surface of the disk with a finger and the operation of pressing the clamp portion of the lower lid with a finger are used together with the three fingers of the thumb, index finger, and middle finger when removing the disk. It must be performed in a timely manner and requires complicated operations. For this reason, if the user is unfamiliar with taking out the disk or has difficulty with fingers, it has a problem that the operation is difficult. In addition, when the disc is forcibly taken out with insufficient pressing force of the disc clamp, there is a fatal defect that the disc may be damaged, particularly, a recording surface of a sound or an image may be damaged. Furthermore, there is a problem that some people do not know how to mount and remove the disk in the above-mentioned type of storage case, and in this case, the significance of the disk case is reduced. This problem applies not only to DVDs but also to storage cases such as CDs, MDs, and CD-ROMs.

The present invention has been made in consideration of such a conventional problem, and has a novel structure that can easily remove a disk and eliminate inconveniences such as damage to the disk and adhesion of dirt. It is an object of the present invention to provide a disk storage case.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. In the present invention, an embodiment using a DVD (hereinafter, simply referred to as a disk) will be described. 1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a state in which a disk is not mounted, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view in a state where a disk D is mounted, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a sectional view taken along line BB of FIG. 2. Reference numeral 1 denotes a case main body made of a hard synthetic resin. The case main body 1 is formed in a rectangular shape, and includes an upper lid 2 and a lower lid 3, and can be opened and closed with its long side as a pivot. Reference numeral 4 denotes a circular disk storage portion formed substantially at the center of the inner surface of the lower cover 3, and a disk support 5 is provided along the inner peripheral edge of the disk storage portion 4. Reference numeral 6 denotes a clamp body which is provided upright at the center of the disk storage portion 4 and into which a set hole 7 formed at the center of the disk D is inserted. The clamp body 6 is formed to have a diameter slightly smaller than the diameter of the disk D, and is formed in a circular shape via an attachment portion 6a with the disk storage portion 4, and has three clamps on its outer peripheral edge. The pieces 6b are erected at equal intervals. The number of the clamp pieces 6b is not an essential requirement, and one piece is effective for setting the disc D. Further, the clamp body 6 may be formed as a cylindrical body. Numeral 8 denotes two opposing substantially rectangular spring pieces, each of which is formed with a long hole 8a to reduce the weight. One end of the spring piece 8 is fixed to a part of the inner peripheral surface of the disk storage portion 4, and the other end is close to the clamp body 6 and stands upright toward the clamp body 6. I have. Reference numeral 9 denotes an insertion portion of the disk D provided over the disk storage portion 4 and the clamp support 5. The disk insertion portion 9 stands up from the inner surface of the disk storage portion 4 toward the disk support 5. The base 9a is provided with an insert piece 9b connected to the base 9a and extending to the outside of the disc storage unit 4 with a slight distance from the base 9a. Reference numeral 10 denotes an engaging and disengaging piece for engaging and disengaging the disk D with the case body 1. The engagement / disengagement piece 10 is specifically provided at a position opposite to the disk insertion section 9, and includes a base 10 a provided in a rising shape from the inner surface of the disk storage section 4 toward the disk support 5 and the base 10 a. It is connected to the base 10a and extends outside the disk storage part 4 with a slight distance from the base 10a so that its tip is located slightly inside the outer peripheral edge of the clamp support 5. And a pressing piece 10b formed. Unlike the disk storage section 9, the engagement / disengagement piece 10 is formed as a single piece separated from the disk storage section 4 by hollowing out the disk storage section 4 and utilizing the elasticity of the synthetic resin to rebound. When the disc D is pressed against the force, the disc D is engaged with or disengaged from the disc storage section 4. Note that a disk take-out guide 11 is formed on the outer peripheral edge of the disk storage portion 4 in the lateral direction so as to straddle the disk support 5. In the figure, reference numeral 12 denotes a locking projection with the lower lid 3 provided on both sides of the flange 12a of the upper lid 2, and a locking projection (not shown) is also provided on the lower lid 3 at the same position on the flange 13a. When the upper lid 2 is closed, the locking projections 12 engage with the locking projections of the lower lid 3 so that the upper lid 2 and the lower lid 3 are not accidentally detached. Reference numeral 13 denotes a locking projection provided on the other short flange 14 of the lower cover 3 so as to lock with the other short side flange 15 of the upper cover 2.

Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. First, a finger is inserted into the set hole 7 of the disk D, inserted into the disk insertion portion 9 while supporting the outer peripheral edge of the disk D with another finger, and brought into contact with the outer peripheral edge of the disk support 5. Thereafter, since the leading end of the engaging / disengaging piece 10 slightly protrudes from the outer peripheral edge of the disk support 5, the opposing outer peripheral edge of the disk D is pressed against the resilient force of the engaging / removing piece 10 that can abut. I do. Then, the disk D pushes down the engagement / disengagement piece 10, and the disk D is placed at the position of the outer peripheral edge of the disk support 5. In this manner, the disk D can be easily and easily mounted on the disk storage section 4 only by the operation of inserting the disk D into the disk insertion portion 9 and pressing the engaging / disengaging piece 10. At this time, the set hole 7 of the disk D is securely fitted into the disk storage part 4 by the clamp piece 6b of the center clamp body 6 of the disk storage part 4, and is shown in FIG. As described above, since the disc D has a gap with the inner surface of the disc storage unit 4 due to the clamp body 6, the spring piece 8, and the disc support 5, the recording surface of the disc D such as audio and video is in non-contact. Thus, it is possible to prevent damage to various information recording surfaces. When the disc D is removed, if the engaging piece 10 is pressed, the engagement with the disc D is released due to the elasticity of the engaging piece 10, so that the disc D is simply taken out from the disc insertion portion 9, and the removal guide 11 and the like are removed. The disk D can be easily and easily removed from the disk storage portion 4 of the lower lid 3 by holding the disk.

Although the present invention has been described by taking a DVD as an example, it is needless to say that the present invention can be applied to discs such as CD, MD, LD, and CD-ROM. Further, in the present invention, three clamp pieces are provided, but this requirement is not an essential requirement of the present invention, and if at least one clamp piece 6b is erected, the disk D can be fixed to the disk storage portion 4. Is considered sufficient. That is, in the present invention, since the spring piece 8 supports the lower surface of the disk D, it is considered that the fixing to the lower lid 3 and the disk storage portion 4 is sufficient. Of course, in order to secure a more stable support of the disk D, it is desirable to provide three clamp pieces 6b as described in the embodiment. The provision of the disk removal guide 11 is not an essential requirement of the present invention. This is because the disk can be easily mounted and removed only by partially inserting the disk into the disk insertion portion 9 and pressing the engaging / disengaging piece 10 alone.

[0012]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the invention of the present application is configured as described above, the disk can be attached to the case only by partially inserting the disk into the disk insertion portion, fitting the disk storage portion to the clamp body, and pressing the engaging and disengaging pieces. It offers an unprecedented superior effect that can be easily removed. Therefore, as in the conventional case, the operation of pinching the outer peripheral surface of the disc with a finger and the operation of pressing the clamp portion of the lower lid with a finger are performed by using three fingers of the thumb, the index finger, and the middle finger together. In addition, there is an advantage that the information recording surface of the disk is not damaged when the disk is forcibly removed in an insufficient state.
