Description

  The present invention relates to a case for storing a recording medium such as a CD, a DVD, or an MD.

A thinner case than the conventional CD case is available, and it can be placed side by side in a space-saving manner. However, because of its thinness, it has become impossible to select the title by looking at the title on the back. There has been devised a device for displaying a rear title without changing the shape of a thin storage case for an optical disk having a thickness of 5 mm.

Moreover, although it is my own invention, there has also been a device that increases the display area and improves the visibility by forming the back surface portion of the case into a convex curved surface.

In addition, as my own idea, there was also an idea that the back title paper was mounted along the inner surface of the end of this curved surface.
Registered Utility Model No. 3118177

  However, in order to increase the display area, the shape of the curved surface of the back portion is made to wrap around from the front surface side to the back surface side of the case, so that it is difficult to manufacture and take out the mold.

  In addition, it was necessary to make a new mold by making changes to the tray side, such as providing a shaft for the rear title paper to follow the inner surface of the curved surface.

  In addition, it is necessary to provide a gap so that the back title sheet does not wear between the curved inner surface and the shaft.

  A tray 1 for storing a recording medium such as a CD, DVD, MD, and the like, and a transparent cover 2 that confronts the recording medium and is hinged at one end so as to be openable and closable. The convex curved surface 2a is formed in a range from the front surface side to the front side where the back surface of the case occurs, and the upper and lower ends thereof are opposed to the inner surface of the curved surface 2a. Is provided with a protrusion 5 having a spacing 4 through which the title paper 3 can be inserted, and the title paper 3 displaying the back title of the same length at the end is placed on the inner surface of the end of the curved surface. Installed.

(1) Since there is no wraparound of the curved surface of the back surface portion, the mold can be easily manufactured and removed from the mold.
(2) The tray can be used as it is, can be produced simply by changing the cover mold, and the initial investment for production can be reduced.
(3) The rear title sheet can be easily attached to and detached from the cover.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the tray 1 that stores a recording medium such as a CD, DVD, MD, etc. A convex curved surface 2a is formed in a range from the front surface side of the case to the front of the back surface, and the upper and lower ends thereof are opposed to the inner surface of the curved surface 2a and between the inner surface and the inner surface. Is provided with a protrusion 5 having an interval 4 through which the title paper 3 can be inserted, and a rear title paper 3 with a rear title of almost the same length displayed on the inner side of the end of the curved surface. did.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a protrusion 5 at the end for holding the title sheet having an interval 4 at which the title sheet 3 can be inserted between the inner surface and the inner surface of the curved surface 2a. The title sheet 3 is inserted into the space 4 between the curved surface 2a and the curved surface 2a.

  The title sheet 3 is held between the protrusion 5 that stops at the end, holds the title sheet, and helps to follow the curved surface, the protrusion 6 that holds the title sheet, and the protrusion 7 that prevents the title sheet from dropping off. .

  When the title sheet 3 is along the curved surface 2a, the area is increased by bending the tilted sheet with respect to the flat surface of the conventional back surface. Without changing the thickness of the case, the shape of the back surface was bent to increase the area, achieving both thinness and visibility.

  The shape of the curved surface 2a is limited to the range from the front surface side to the front surface side, that is, the angle formed with the surface of the cover up to 90 °, so that it can be easily taken out from the mold.

  4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, a protrusion 9 is provided below the protrusion 6 that holds the title sheet so that the width of the title sheet is the same as the end. . As a result, the shape of the title sheet can be a simple rectangle.

  By changing only a part of the cover 2 without changing the tray 1, it is possible to produce a case with high visibility and easily detachable and replaceable title paper.

  If the stiffness of the title sheet is large and the curvature of the curved surface 2a is too large, the title sheet 3 may be inserted into the cover 2 and the back title part may not be in close contact with the inner surface of the curved surface 2a. At that time, the title sheet can be easily brought into close contact with the finger by pressing it from the back side. The title sheet advances to the back side and is held on the convex portion 7 that stops the title sheet from falling off.

  Pressing from the back side by slightly increasing the protrusion 5 that holds the title paper at the end, reducing the rigidity of the title paper 3 within a range that does not hinder insertion into the cover 2, and making the curvature of the curved surface 2a as small as possible. Even if it does not exist, it is possible to make it adhere to the curved surface 2a only by inserting.

  In order to set the title paper 3 on the cover 2 when the title paper 3 has a high rigidity and the curved surface 2a has a large curvature and does not adhere to the inner surface, the title paper 3 is loaded as shown in FIG. Passing between the protrusions 6 that hold the title sheet, inserting the gap up to the end interval 4, and pressing the auxiliary member 10 having the same cross-sectional shape as the inner surface of the curved surface 2a, the title sheet advances to the rear side, and the title sheet It is held on the convex part 7 which stops dropping off and can be brought into close contact.

  By combining the apparatus for inserting the title sheet, the apparatus for reciprocating the auxiliary member 10 and the apparatus for moving the cover, it can be reliably and continuously processed.

  In the first embodiment, the convex portion 9 is provided so that the width of the title sheet is the same as the end portion. However, this can be dealt with by reducing the width of the title sheet only at the end as shown in FIG. At that time, it is also possible to provide smooth cuts 11 at the upper and lower ends that are easily caught when the rear title sheet is inserted.

  Currently, the thickness of CD cases that are mainly distributed is about 10 mm. On the other hand, the thin case is about 5 mm thick. If the back title paper is pasted directly to the width of about 5 mm, only small characters of about 9 points can be used. However, by tilting the back surface and making it a curved surface, it is possible to sufficiently use characters having a size of about 13 points.

  If the title is fully visible from the back, increasing the value of the product and replacing it with the conventional case, the dealer can display twice as many products in the same area. Furthermore, the cost can be reduced in terms of transportation and storage.

  The improvement in visibility obtained by making the back surface a curved surface is an effect obtained not only in a thin case but also in a conventional case having a thickness of about 10 mm.

  In the conventional case, the number of parts is large, and replacing the title paper requires removing the components in the tray, which is a troublesome work. However, as shown in the first embodiment, it is convenient to easily replace the title paper. There is also sex.
