Description

The present invention relates to a business card case for preventing a business card from being damaged during transportation by being put in an envelope in a state in which the business card is stored, and used for storing a business card in use and a business card of another person received after transportation.

The business cards are printed in units of 100 sheets, for example, and delivered in a state of being stored in a synthetic resin case. When the business card is used up, the business card case that is no longer needed is discarded. However, the case made of synthetic resin is expensive to manufacture and has a problem of environmental pollution during incineration. Therefore, instead of synthetic resin cases, paper business card cases have been proposed that are inexpensive to manufacture and that do not cause environmental pollution problems when discarded (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

However, in the business card cases described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, since all the printed business cards are stacked and stored in the business card case, the thickness of the business card case increases. For this reason, even if it is going to transport a business card case which accommodated the business card in an envelope, it became bulky, resulting in a problem that the transport cost was increased due to a non-standard size package.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is possible to prevent the business card from being damaged during transportation by storing it in an envelope with the business card stored, and storing the business card in use and the received business card of another person after transportation. An object is to provide a business card case that can be used for business purposes.

A business card case according to the present invention that meets the above-described purpose is formed of thick paper material, and a lid that can be opened and closed on at least one of the left and right sides, and stores a group of business cards each including a substantially rectangular business card that is stacked. A storage box,
A partition for distinguishing the business card group, which is formed of paper material and arranged and stored in the storage box, from other business card groups. Here, the business card group stored side by side in the storage box includes two cases, and further includes three or more cases.

In the business card case according to the present invention, there are two sets of the business card group, and a cover plate portion that can be cut off is provided on the center side surface of the storage box and the front and back side surfaces connected to the center side surface. It is preferable that a fold line directed in the front-rear direction is formed in the portion.

In the business card case according to the present invention, the partition is provided for each of the business card groups, and the partition plate portion that contacts the adjacent surfaces of the business card groups stored side by side is centered, and the first and second It can have a U-shaped cross section by having two cover plate portions.

In the business card case according to the present invention, the business card group is arranged in the storage box with a long side surface adjacent to each other in plan view, and the first cover plate portion of the partition is substantially the same as the business card. It is preferable that the index entry part is formed side by side in the same shape.

In the business card case according to claims 1 to 4, a business card group is formed by stacking business cards, and the formed business card group can be stored side by side in the storage box with the lid open, so that all the business cards are stacked and stored in the storage box The storage box can be made thinner than the case, and the envelope can be made thinner when the business card case is placed in the envelope. For this reason, an envelope is not bulky and transportation becomes easy. In addition, since there is a partition for distinguishing the business card group accommodated in the storage box from other business card groups, it is possible to prevent the business card from shifting during transportation.

In particular, in the business card case according to claim 2, since the storage box is provided with a cover plate portion that can be cut off, the opening portion can be formed in the storage box by cutting the cover plate portion, A folding line oriented in the front-rear direction is formed at the center, so that the business card group can be taken out of the storage box and the back side of the storage box can be folded along the folding line. It can be erected on the bottom, the opening is facing upward, and it can be transformed into a folded box, and the business card to be used can be changed by returning the group of taken out business cards to the storage box. Can be stored.

In the business card case according to claim 3, the partition has a partition plate part in contact with an adjacent surface of the business card group in the center, and has first and second cover plate parts on both sides thereof, and has a U-shaped cross section. Therefore, open the lid of the storage box, cut out the cover plate part, insert your finger through the opening formed and push out the partition, or pull the partition from the opening with the business card group in between, pulling out the business card Can be taken out of the storage box in units of business cards.

In the business card case according to claim 4, a part or all of an unnecessary index entry part is cut out from the partition, and the partition is returned to the storage box containing the business card group, so that the business card is used in the storage box. By using the space part, it is possible to organize and store the received business cards of other people while distinguishing them from their own business cards.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings for understanding of the present invention.
Here, FIG. 1 (A) is a perspective view showing a state when a business card is stored and transported in a business card case according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1 (B) is a cutout of a cover plate part to form an opening. FIG. 2 is a developed view of a storage box for the same business card case, FIG. 3 is a developed view of a partition of the same business card case, and FIGS. 4A to 4E are use of the same business card case. FIG. 5: is a perspective view which shows the procedure of another usage method of the same name card case.

As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, a business card case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a paper material 29 (see FIG. 2) having a thick ground (for example, a thickness of 0.3 to 0.5 mm). ), The left and right side surfaces are openable and closable lids 11 and 12, and a storage box 16 for storing two business card groups 14 and 15, each of which is formed by overlapping substantially rectangular business cards 13, and a paper material ( For example, it has a partition 17 that distinguishes one business card group 14 from the other business card group 15 that is formed in a thickness of 0.3 to 0.5 mm and is stored side by side in the storage box 16. Here, the inner dimensions of the storage box 16 in the left-right direction are arranged so that the long side faces are adjacent to each other when the two business card groups 14 and 15 are viewed in plan view, and the business card groups 14 and 15 are adjacent to each other. It can be stored with the partition 17 provided (the short side length of the business card 13 × 2 + the thickness of the paper material of the partition 17 × 2), and the inner dimension of the storage box 16 in the front-rear direction is the long side length of the business card 13 And substantially the same.

With this configuration, a plurality (for example, 100) of business cards 13 produced (printed) are divided into business card groups 14 and 15, and one or both of the lids 11 and 12 of the storage box 16 are opened. The business card groups 14 and 15 can be stored side by side in the storage box 16, and the thickness of the storage box 16 is set to, for example, 15 It can be as thin as -18 mm. For this reason, the total thickness when the business card case 10 is put in the envelope can be made thin, for example, within 20 mm, and the envelope is not bulky, so that the transportation becomes easy.
And since the total thickness at the time of putting the business card case 10 in an envelope can be made thin, the envelope which accommodated the business card case 10 can be handled as a standard-size package set in advance in the transportation industry, thereby reducing transportation costs. Can also be planned. And since the business card groups 14 and 15 accommodated side by side in the storage box 16 are distinguished by the partition 17, the business card group 13 and 15 are prevented from being collapsed due to the business card 13 being displaced during transportation.

Here, a cover plate portion 21 that can be cut off is provided on the center portion (center side surface) of the front surface 18 of the storage box 16 and the front and rear side surfaces 19 and 20 connected to the front surface. Is formed with a fold line 23 oriented in the front-rear direction. A partition 17 is provided for each of the business card groups 14 and 15, and each partition 17 has a partition plate portion 24 in contact with an adjacent surface of the business card groups 14 and 15 stored side by side, and a first one on each side thereof. The second cover plate portions 25 and 26 have a U-shaped cross section.

With such a configuration, by opening the lid plate portion 21, the opening portion 27 can be formed on the central side surface 18 of the storage box 16 and the front and back side surfaces 19 and 20 connected thereto. 27, the adjacent side of the business card groups 14 and 15 can be exposed in a state of being covered with the partition 17, respectively. Then, the lids 11 and 12 of the storage box 16 are opened, the business card groups 14 and 15 are taken out together with the partition 17, and the back surface 22 is valley-folded along the fold line 23, thereby 12 can be erected with the side face 12 as the bottom, and can be transformed into a storage box 16a (see FIG. 4) in which the opening is folded in two upwards. Next, when the business card groups 14 and 15 are returned to the storage box 16a, the long side surfaces of the business card groups 14 and 15 can be faced upward so that the upper part is exposed. 13 can be taken out sequentially. Further, when the lid plate portion 21 is cut out and only the partition 17 is extracted from the opening portion 27, the adjacent side can be exposed from the opening portion 27 in a state where the business card groups 14 and 15 are stored side by side in the storage box 16, The business cards 13 can also be taken out from the business card groups 14 and 15 sequentially.

Here, the storage box 16 can be formed, for example, by assembling a paperboard 29 shown by unfolding the storage box 16 as shown in FIG. In this development, the paperboard 29 includes a front surface 18 and lids (side surfaces) 11 and 12 that are connected to the left and right sides of the surface 18, and are connected to the outside of the lids 11 and 12 and folded into the lid. A portion 30 is provided. The paperboard 29 includes side surfaces 19 and 20 that are connected to the front and back of the front surface 18, and a back surface 22 that is connected to the outside (rear side) of the side surface 20, and side folds 31 are formed on the left and right sides of the side surfaces 19 and 20. Provided on the rear side of the back surface 22 is a fixing portion 32 that is connected to the back side of the side surface 19 and connected at the time of assembly.

Further, symmetrically about the center line C facing in the front-rear direction of the paperboard 29, cut-out dotted lines 35 formed by arranging the cut lines 33 at intervals with the side surface 19, the surface 18, and the side surface 20 are provided, respectively. Is formed with a fold line 23 formed of a perforation along the center line C. Further, the fixing portion 32 is provided with a gap 33 so as to be substantially congruent with the shape of the cut dotted line 35 formed on the side surface 19 when the fixing portion 32 is fixed to the back side of the side surface 19. Cut-out dotted lines 36 formed side by side are formed symmetrically with respect to the center line C. As a result, a region sandwiched between the cut-off dotted lines 35 and 36 that are symmetric is the cover plate portion 21.

As shown in the development view of the partition 17 in FIG. 3, the first cover plate portion 25 of each partition 17 has substantially the same shape as the business card 13 and is formed side by side on the substrate 39 and its front side. The index entry part 37 is provided. Here, reference numeral 38 denotes a boundary line formed by a shallow depression indicating the boundary between the substrate 39 and the index entry section 37 of the first cover plate part 25, and reference numeral 40 denotes a first fold along the shallow depression. A first mountain fold guide line forming a corner portion of the cover plate portion 25 and the partition plate portion 24, and a reference numeral 41 denotes a corner portion of the partition plate portion 24 and the second cover plate portion 26 by being folded along the perforations. The reference numeral 45 denotes a separation guide line made of a perforation that serves as a guide when the upper end portion of the index entry portion 37 is separated from the base side of the index entry portion 37.

Next, a method for using the business card case 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
When the business card 13 is transported, first, a plurality of business cards 13 to be transported are divided into two to form business card groups 14 and 15. Then, the unfolded partition 17 is mountain-folded along the second and first mountain fold guide lines 41 and 40 so as to have a U-shaped cross section, and the inner side of the partition plate portion 24 on the long side surface of the business card group 14. The back side of the first cover plate part 25 is brought into contact with the front surface of the business card group 14, and the back side of the second cover plate part 26 is brought into contact with the back side. Similarly to the business card group 14, the business card group 15 is covered with a partition 17 having a U-shaped cross section. Next, the lids 11 and 12 of the storage box 16 are opened, and the business card groups 14 and 15 are placed side by side in the storage box 16 so that the partition plates 24 of the partition 17 that covers the business card groups 14 and 15 are adjacent to each other. Close the lids 11 and 12. Next, the storage box 16 storing the business card 13 is put in an envelope and sent.

When the envelope arrives, the envelope is opened and the storage box 16 is taken out as shown in FIG. Then, the cover plate portion 21 is cut along the symmetrically formed cut dotted lines 35 and 36 to form the opening 27 in the storage box 16 as shown in FIG. Next, as shown in FIG. 4C, the lids 11 and 12 of the storage box 16 are opened, the business card groups 14 and 15 are taken out together with the partitions 17, and the U-shaped partitions 17 are separated from the business card groups 14 and 15. Spread flat. Then, as shown in FIG. 4D, the second cover plate portion 26 is separated from the planar partition 17 along the second mountain fold guide line 41, and an index entry portion necessary for use is further obtained. The index plate 43 is formed by cutting off the upper end portion of the index entry portion 37 that is not necessary and cutting it along the guide line 45. In addition, the back surface 22 of the storage box 16 is valley-folded along the fold line 23 to be transformed into a storage box 16a erected with the left and right lids 11 and 12 of the storage box 16 as bottom surfaces. Next, as shown in FIG. 4E, the business card groups 14 and 15 are returned to the storage box 16a, and the index plate 43 is also inserted. As a result, the business cards 13 can be sequentially taken out from the business card groups 14 and 15. When a space portion is generated by using a business card, the received business card of another person can be stored in the space portion. In this case, the index plate 43 is moved to this space portion as a partition with the own business card 13. Can act.

Moreover, the procedure of another usage method of the business card case 10 of this invention is shown to FIG. Here, another method of using the business card case 10 differs from the method of using the business card case 10 in that the method of forming the index plate 44 from the partition 17 and the method of storing the business card 13 to be used are different. Only the formation method 44 and the storage method of the business card 13 to be used will be described.
As shown in FIG. 4D, the first and second mountain fold guide lines 40 and 41 of the partition 17 taken out together with the business card groups 14 and 15 are folded back to return each partition 17 to a flat shape. Next, the upper end portion of the index entry portion 37 that is not required for use is cut off, the cut index plate 44 is formed along the guide line 45, and the index plate 44 is valley-folded along the boundary line 38. Then, as shown in FIG. 4E, one index plate 44 is stored in either the left or right side of the storage box 16 from the opening 27 so that the index entry portion 37 of the index plate 44 is exposed to the opening 27. The other index plate 44 is inserted into the other storage portion of the storage box 16 through the opening 27. Next, as shown in FIG. 4F, the lids 11 and 12 are opened, the business card groups 14 and 15 are returned into the storage box 16, and the lids 11 and 12 are closed. As a result, the business cards 13 of the business card groups 14 and 15 can be sequentially taken out from the opening 27. When a space is generated in the storage unit due to the use of the business card, the received business card of another person can be inserted into the generated space, and the index plate 44 can act as a partition between the business card 13 and the business card of the other person. .
