Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a compact disc (CD for music, CD-ROM, CD-I, CD-V).
Etc.), video disc (VD), mini disc (MD)
The present invention relates to a fastener used for a binding case for binding a storage case of an optical disk (hereinafter, referred to as a compact disk or the like) as a recording medium for various music, audio, video, and the like. 2. Description of the Related Art A sales form of a compact disk or the like and a storage form of a purchaser are usually housed in a hard synthetic resin compact disk case or the like.
The compact disc case and the like not only protects the compact disc from shocks but also has a decorative function, thereby having a function of appealing to the visual sense of the consumer and increasing the willingness to purchase. Can give the owner a sense of satisfaction and can exert an intrinsic economic effect that encourages further purchases. [0003] On the other hand, such a compact disk case or the like has low impact resistance per se, and is especially useful when carrying, for example, a bag or the like after purchasing or purchasing a product. However, when the battery is stored in the storage device, there is a drawback that a sufficient protection function cannot be expected due to immediate damage or cracking. [0004] In order to solve the above disadvantages, for example,
A paper box-shaped binding case (hereinafter referred to as Prior Example 1) for further binding a compact disc case or the like, or a long cardboard as shown in FIG. (9
1) A binding case (9) having a configuration in which a back (92) is formed, and a knot for retaining the cord (97) through a through hole (94).
(98) to form a string (9)
A stopper (95) connected to both ends of (7) is detachably attached to a mounting hole (96) provided in the cover (91) and the back cover (92),
When storing the compact disc case, place the cord
2) Turn the cover (91), (92) openable and closable, and after storage, turn the cord to the free end side of each of the cover (90) and back cover (92) to use the binding case ( 9) (hereinafter referred to as Prior Example 2) is known. [0005] Further, in the sales form, it is customary to further bind the binding case as shown in the preceding examples 1 and 2 in a transparent protective vinyl bag. However, in the prior art 1, if a strong impact is given to the compact disk case or the like, it is impossible to check whether the box-shaped binding case is damaged or cracked unless the box-shaped binding case is opened. , Very troublesome. In order to unpack the binding case of a product before sale, the transparent protective vinyl bag which is generally used to prevent small scratches is opened at the time of unpacking, so that the transparent protective bag is opened. In many cases, the adhesive of the protective vinyl bag must be peeled off, and although the transparent protective vinyl bag itself does not have the commercial value of a compact disk case or the like, once it is opened, the impression of the product deteriorates, and the product is sold. Also affect. On the other hand, in the prior example 2, before the sale,
Even if the transparent protective vinyl bag is not opened, it is possible to determine whether or not a scratch or a crack has occurred due to an impact by slightly expanding the front cover and the back cover from outside the transparent protective vinyl bag. Although it does not occur and is excellent in this respect, the string (97) is passed through a through hole (94) formed in a synthetic resin piece (93), and a knot (98) for retaining , The two synthetic resin pieces (93) and the knot (98) protrude, hit the surface of the compact disc case, and are located between the front cover and the back cover, respectively. As a result, the thickness between the display and the back cover becomes extremely large and bulky, and also the external force is concentrated on the protruding portion, thereby increasing the chance of breaking the case. Furthermore, when holding the compact disc case, especially when the vicinity of the mounting hole (96) of the binding case is grasped, the compact disc case and the inside of the front cover and the inside of the back cover are contacted only with the knot (98). Since the knot (98) is not completely fixed but moves around the mounting hole (96), there is a disadvantage that the holding of the compact disc case tends to be extremely unstable. When the piece (93) is formed extremely thin, the flexibility becomes extremely high, and the piece (93) is easily broken.
Since the string easily comes off from the piece (93) and the original function is impaired, a proper thickness is eventually required, and when the same form as the present invention is used, the resin Due to the characteristics, the tongue piece (99) easily rises and the piece
The thickness of (93) increases. As a method of preventing the knot from being formed, for example, a case in which a string is welded to the bridge portion can be considered. In such a case, a frequent load is applied to the welded portion during use. However, once the welded portion comes off, there is a fatal disadvantage that it cannot be used at all. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has provided a conventional compact disc case with scratches.
Provide a low-cost, easy-to-manufacture compact disk binding case stopper that does not obstruct the conventional function of preventing cracking, eliminates the need for knot formation, makes the thickness between the front and back covers extremely thin and bulky. This is an issue to be solved. [0013] A binding case main body and a stopper are provided.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 is a plan view of a stopper in a binding case stopper according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a binding case stopper according to the embodiment. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the state where the tongue piece of the fastener is returned, FIG. 3 is a partial cross-sectional view of the binding case fastener according to the embodiment, and FIG. FIG. 5 is a perspective view illustrating the use state of the case, FIG. 5 is a sectional view illustrating the use state of the binding case according to the embodiment, and FIG. 6 is a sectional view illustrating the use state of the conventional binding case. (Embodiment) A binding case for a compact disc case according to the present embodiment is composed of a binding case body (4) having only a cover (40), a back cover, and a spine, and a string (2) using an elastic cord. At the both ends of the bracket, a stopper (3) provided with a thin brass stopper (1) is provided.When storing the compact disc case,
Turn the cord (2) toward the spine (41) to open and close the cover (40) and back cover (42) .After storage, the cord is covered (40) and back cover (42).
Are used by turning them around the free ends. Here, regarding the structure of the stopper (3), a stopper
(1) is provided with a substantially U-shaped cut (11) in a brass thin plate (10) having a thickness of 0.5 mm by press molding, and a tongue piece (12) formed by the cut (11). Is formed in a slightly bent state from the base, and a string using a rubber string having elasticity in the longitudinal direction with respect to the gap between the cut (11) of the stopper (1) and the tongue piece (12) ( 2) through each of the folded tips to slightly expose the folded portion from the side where the cord is taken out of the thin plate (10), and in this state, the fold of the slightly bent tongue piece (12) Back to eliminate the string
(2) are connected by firmly sandwiching them. Holes are formed at both ends of the U-shaped cut (11) in the stopper (1) according to the present embodiment to prevent cracks from being generated from the cut (11), and one of the holes is formed. The string (2) is guided by guiding the string (2) to the gap between the cut (11) and the tongue piece (12) by making it a slightly large rectangle.
Is easier to insert. The length of the cord (2) is approximately the length of a straight line from the fastener mounting hole to the opposite fastener mounting hole through the free ends of the front and back covers and the extension restoring force. This allows the compact disc case to be sandwiched between the front and back covers. The binding case body (4) has a length of 260 mm,
The cover (40), the back (41), and the back cover (42) are formed by folding a long binding cardboard having a width of 118 mm and a thickness of about 1 mm, and the cover (40) and the back cover ( A stopper mounting hole (43) is provided at a central position facing each of the stoppers (1) so as to be detachable from the stopper (1). It is a slit that can pass through. Therefore, the binding case is a binding case main body.
Attach the two stoppers (1) of the stopper (3) from the outside of (4)
Attach the string (2) by fitting it vertically to the back cover (40) or the back cover (42), and in use, the plane of the stopper (1) will be the inner surface of each of the cover (40) and back cover (42) The string (2) is locked by contact with the cord. The position and shape of the fastener mounting hole (43), the string
The string length of (2) can be any position, shape, and size within a range that does not adversely affect the function of holding and protecting the compact disk case. The outer shape of the stopper (1) may be rectangular, but a circular shape as shown in the embodiment will not injure fingers due to edges and will always have a constant diameter. For this reason, it is easy and easy to attach to the stopper attachment hole (43), which is preferable. In this embodiment, the notch of the stopper is formed in a U-shape, but the U-shape in the present invention is not limited to the U-shape in the narrow sense as in this embodiment. , V-shape and the like. That is, the U-shape means that the tongue is formed by bending or bending, and a gap can be formed between the tongue and the plane of the stop body, and after passing the string, the tongue is returned to close the gap so as to eliminate the gap. It means a shape that has a function that can be performed. According to the present invention, the tip of the string is left as it is or folded in the gap formed by slightly bending or bending the tongue piece of the thin metal plate forming the stop body from the base. And the tongue pieces are returned and connected, so that the attachment of the string can be made very simple, and the formation of the knot is unnecessary, and the compact disc case can be securely held. Further, since the tongue which is a part of the metal thin plate is returned, the string is sandwiched so that the cut hardly forms a gap, so that the tongue is substantially flush with the plane of the stopper. This makes it possible to reduce the thickness of the binding case to a slight increase due to the tip of the string, rather than the thickness of only the stationary body, making it possible to reduce the width of the binding case and reduce the storage space. You.
