Description

  The present invention relates to a recording medium display case for displaying disc-type recording media such as rental music CDs and video DVDs on a display shelf.

  In rental stores such as music CDs and video DVDs, cases (hereinafter referred to as CD cases) in which those disc-type recording media are accommodated are accommodated in display cases and arranged on display shelves. The customer looks at the title on the back of the display case, removes the CD case containing the desired CD from the display case, pays a rental fee at the cash register and rents it. Since the empty display case remains on the display shelf, it can be seen that it is being rented.

  The currently used CD case is 10mm thick and contains a CD, a front jacket (lyric card) and a back inlay (title label) inside, and a band attached to the outside. Yes. Since the conventional display case directly accommodates the received CD case, the display case is formed larger than the thickness of the CD case, has a width of 10 mm to 14 mm, and a band removed from the CD case is attached to the back.

  In a rental store, when a new CD is released, it is purchased, stored in a display case, and displayed, so the display space in the store gradually increases. Since rental stores are diversified, a single store often has a rental space such as a CD and a sales space such as a book. As rental space increases, sales space must be reduced. Under these circumstances, rental stores are required to make effective use of the vacant space for other purposes by displaying many rental items while maintaining or reducing the current rental space. Therefore, development of a new display method and a narrow display case is desired.

  Conventionally, Patent Document 1 proposes a case in which a recording medium case can be inserted and removed from the upper surface side and the front side so that it can be used for display as it is. Same as case. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a display having a thin thickness, which is composed of an outer portion obtained by bending a thin resin sheet into a U shape, a cover outer portion formed of a transparent film in a substantially U shape, and an L-shaped frame. An outer case is proposed. Similarly, Patent Document 3 discloses a three-piece structure including a U-shaped outer portion formed by bending a thin resin sheet, a cover sheet formed of a transparent film in a U-shape, a side block, and both side blocks. A rental cover case composed of a base member is proposed. However, since any case accommodates the case containing the recording medium as it is, even if the display case is thin, it exceeds the thickness of the case of the recording medium.
