The case 80 described with reference to FIG. 6 can be used as a card key case by setting its size and shape to match the size and shape of a card key (not shown) to be used. , the configuration is also simple and it is considered possible to provide at low cost. However, in this case 70, the overlapping portion 78 of the two folding margins 75 and 76 folded back toward the lower plate portion 71 is designed to prevent the two folding margins 75 and 76 from being opened apart. was glued. For this reason, it is necessary to use glue for assembly, and there is a problem that the gluing work is troublesome.

On the other hand, the file 80 described with reference to FIG. 7 has a relatively complicated configuration considering the fact that it has gussets 87, 88, and 89. Although it can be said that it is useful, even if the size and shape are determined to match the size and shape of a card key (not shown) by adopting the structure as it is, it cannot be used as a case for a card key. is considered unsuitable.

The present invention has been made under the above circumstances, and has a simple structure that can be assembled immediately when necessary without gluing, even if paper is used, and is to be provided at a low cost. The purpose is to provide a card key case that enables

In the card key case according to the present invention, a rectangular sheet is divided into a lower plate portion and a cover portion that can be opened and closed between a folded position and an unfolded position with respect to the lower plate portion. By folding back the two folding margins provided in series on each of the four side edges so as to overlap the lower plate portion, the lower plate portion and the two folding margins form a pocket capable of accommodating a card key. It is configured. Then, in a state in which the two folding margins are folded back, the insertion portion provided in the other folding margin can be inserted into the slit provided in one of the folding margins.

With the case having this configuration, when the two folding margins connected to the lower plate portion are folded back so as to overlap the lower plate portion to form a pocket that can accommodate a card key, one of the folding margins can be folded back. The two folding margins 75 and 76 do not open apart only by inserting the insertion part provided in the other folding margin into the slit provided in the other. Therefore, it is possible to provide a case at a low cost that not only eliminates the need for troublesome gluing work during assembly, but also has a simplified structure and can be assembled immediately when necessary.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the insertion portion is formed by a corner portion provided on the other folding margin. According to this, it is not necessary to separately form an insertion portion into a projecting shape in the other folding margin, so the shape of the sheet material for the case in the unfolded state (material before assembly) is simplified accordingly, and the sheet material is wasted. consumption is reduced, and the yield is likely to be improved.

In the present invention, it is preferable that a V-shaped recess is formed between the corner portion and the edge of the lower plate portion. According to this, the effect that the other folding margin having the insertion portion can be easily folded back at the edge of the lower plate portion, and the effect that the insertion portion can be reliably and easily inserted into the slit are exhibited.

The case according to the present invention can use a slightly thick sheet of flexible plastic such as PP or PET. Considering this, it is desirable that the sheet is made of slightly thick paper. In particular, it is preferable to use stiff paper in order to improve elegance and usability.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide an inexpensive card key case with a simple structure, which can be immediately assembled when necessary using paper or flexible plastic sheets without gluing. In particular, this effect is remarkably exhibited when paper is used as the material.
