DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments to which the present invention is applied will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. First Embodiment A labeled index card of the present embodiment is a tape cassette 1 containing a magnetic tape having a tape width of 8 mm.
The index card 1 with a label is stored in a cassette storage case 2 in which 1 is stored together with the tape cassette 11.

First, as shown in FIG. 1, the tape cassette 11 has a case body 14 in which a pair of upper and lower halves 12 and 13 made of transparent plastic or the like are butted and joined together.
A magnetic tape having the magnetic tape of 8 mm is housed therein. A pair of tape reels are rotatably mounted in the case body 14, and the magnetic tape on which an information signal is recorded is wound between the pair of tape reels.

Next, the cassette housing case 2 comprises a housing 21 and a lid 22 made of transparent resin. This lid 2
2 has a pocket portion 26 having an L-shaped cross section, which is formed on both side portions of the pocket portion 26 and has support portions 25 for supporting the casing 2
It is attached so as to be rotatable with respect to 1.

The index card 1 with the label is stored in the cassette storage case 2. The labeled index card 1 has a rectangular shape, one end side of which is bent to have a U-shaped cross section, and is stored in the cassette storage case 2 in conformity with the shape of the pocket portion 26 having the L-shaped cross section. It is designed to be.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the index card 1 with the label has the label 5 integrally provided on the index card 4. That is, the labeled index card 1 has a cardboard index card 4 on one surface and a so-called high-quality paper on the other surface, with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 serving as an intermediate layer interposed therebetween.

First, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 is provided between the index card 4 and the label 5, as shown in FIG. The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 has the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 uniformly coated over the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. When the label 5 is adhered, a solvent, heat, or a catalyst is used to help the label 5. It is not necessary and can be bonded by applying a slight pressure. The surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 on the side to which the index card 4 is attached is provided with a layer 9 that has been subjected to a release treatment such as so-called silicon treatment or polymer laminating treatment, and the label 5 Are easily peeled off.

Next, as the index card 4, so-called card paper having a basis weight of about 170 to 210 g / m ² is used. This is because one surface of the cardboard is an index surface on which the index of the recorded contents of the tape cassette 11 and the specifications such as the length and type of the magnetic tape are written. The cardboard storage case 2
This is to protect the tape cassette 11 and the like even if an unexpected external force is applied to the tape cassette 11.

In particular, in the sleeve case 41, in order to easily take out the stored items stored in the sleeve case 41 to the outside, the front end side portion of each main surface portion is continuous with the slit-shaped opening. Is provided with a notch portion for finger insertion.

On the other hand, if the index card 4 is thinner than this, the role of protecting the tape cassette 11 cannot be fulfilled. On the other hand, if the index card 4 is too thick, the appearance becomes poor. Particularly, in the present embodiment, the label 5 which has been subjected to the mold release treatment is integrally provided, so that the above setting is preferable in order to prevent the label 5 from being too thick.

On the other side of the index card 4, ruled lines 7 for displaying the index of the recorded contents, a display column, etc. are printed. Further, on the index card 4 side, a fold line 6 for bending the one end side in a U-shaped cross section is formed.

On the index card 4 side of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3, there is provided a layer 9 which has been subjected to a release treatment such as the above silicon treatment or polymer lamination treatment. On the other hand, the label 5 is provided on the other surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3. This label 5 is for another tape cassette 1.
It is used to enter a title for distinguishing from 11, and the date and time of recording, and is formed by "half blanking".

As the label 5, so-called high quality paper having a basis weight of 100 g / m ² is used. This is because the writing feeling with a writing instrument is taken into consideration and, like the index card 4, the thickness is not too thick. Also,
This label 5 is provided with perforations 8
The thing of a predetermined size is formed so that peeling is possible. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4A, three narrow ones are attached to one side surface of the cassette storage case 2 and have substantially the same size as the lid 22 of the cassette storage case 2. One panther is formed so as to be peelable by the perforations 8.

Therefore, each of the labels 5 can be peeled off from the labeled index card 1 which is a thick paper, and can be used in accordance with the attaching place.
The perforation 8 is preferably performed at the same time as the so-called “half blanking” of the label 5. The labeled index card 1 thus configured is bent in a U-shape along a fold line 6 formed on one end side thereof, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (b), the tape cassette 11 is protected by the U-shaped cross section and is accommodated in the L-shaped pocket portion 26 of the cassette storage case 2 while protecting the tape cassette 11 as shown by the arrow in FIG. In the direction shown, above tape cassette 1
It is stored in the cassette storage case 2 together with 1.

That is, when an information signal such as a data signal or a video signal is recorded, the user or the like indexes on the index surface of the labeled index card 1 housed in the cassette housing case 2 according to the order of the recorded contents. Align with the above ruled line. On the other hand, the label 5
In order to distinguish it from other tape cassettes 11, a title or the like is written in line with the ruled line 7 or the like.

Then, the index card 1 with a label on which the index and the like are written is stored in the cassette storage case 2 so that the index surface can be visually recognized from the outside. That is, this index card with label 1
Is stored in a pocket portion 26 having an L-shaped cross section, which is provided in the lid 22 of the cassette storage case 2 while being bent in a U-shaped cross section. On the other hand, the label 5 on which the title and the like are written is peeled off from the index card 4 serving as a mount, and is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the cassette storage case 2 or the one side portion 1c of the U-shaped cross section of the labeled index card 1 described above. It is attached.

Therefore, even if the number of tape cassettes 11 on which information signals such as data signals and video signals are recorded increases due to the above recording, the user or the like can select from among the many tape cassettes 11 stored. A desired tape cassette 11 can be selected.

In order to reproduce a desired recorded information signal such as a data signal or a video signal in the tape cassette 11, an index card with a label in which a recorded content index (for example, a tune) is written is used. You can look up and search. By the way, the conventional index card 101
As shown in FIG. 9, since the label 102 and the label 102 are configured separately, it is necessary to separately process the index card 101 and the label 102 and print the ruled lines. Also, these index cards 1
In order to store 01 and the label 102 in the cassette storage case 105, it was necessary to provide automatic supply devices at two or more places. Further, in actual use, the label 102 may be lost. Further, when the label 102 is peeled off from the mount, the used mount is thrown away as waste.

On the other hand, the index card 1 with a label according to this embodiment has the adhesive layer 3 coated with the adhesive.
With the structure in which the label 5 which has been subjected to the mold release process is integrally provided through the ruled lines, it is possible to simultaneously print or process the ruled lines 7 and the display column for describing the index or title of the recorded contents.

That is, since one index card with a label has two functions of the index card and the label 5, the paper to be used is saved, and it is also useful for the protection of the global environment. Also, tape cassette 1
In the first commercialization process, only one automatic supply device can be stored in the cassette storage case 2.

Further, in actual use, the mount is not thrown away as in the conventional case, and even if one label 5 is used, the other label 5 is integrated with the index card 1, so that the label 5 is used. It is also possible to effectively prevent the situation of being lost, and it is easy to manage. Since it can be used as the index card 1 even after it is used up, it becomes an index card with a label that is kind to the global environment protection. Second Embodiment In the present embodiment, the present invention is applied to a labeled index card of a disk cartridge that rotatably stores a disk-shaped recording medium.

First, the disc cartridge is housed in a so-called sleeve case 41. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the sleeve case 41 is formed into a housing by bending a sheet material made of a synthetic resin material such as polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and has a slit shape in the front side. It has a bag-like structure having an opening. That is, the disc cartridge is inserted and stored in the sleeve case 41 through the slit-shaped opening on the front side of the sleeve case 41.

In this sleeve case 41, in order to make it easy to take out the items stored in the sleeve case 41 to the outside, the slit-shaped openings are connected to the front end side portion of each main surface portion. , Notches for finger insertion are provided. And, the sleeve case 41 is
When the disc cartridge is stored and sold, the disc cartridge is packaged together with a labeled index card by a film member made of synthetic resin or the like, a so-called overlap film.

Index card 31 with the above label
As shown in FIGS. 5 to 6, an index card 34 subjected to a mold release process is integrally provided. That is, as in the first embodiment, the index card 31 with a label is composed of a cardboard index card 34 on one side with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 serving as an intermediate layer interposed therebetween, as shown in FIG. The label 35 formed of so-called high-quality paper is formed on the other surface. The surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 on the side to which the label 35 is attached is provided with a layer 9 that has been subjected to a release treatment such as so-called silicon treatment or polymer lamination treatment, and the label 5 is attached. It is designed to be easily peeled off.

The index card 34 has a basis weight of 17
A so-called card material of about 0 to 210 g / m ² is used. The labeled index card 31 is
It is bent in a U shape from the central portion and is covered on the sleeve case 41 so as to cover a top plate portion and a bottom plate portion of a sleeve case 41 described later. As shown in FIG. 6, in addition to the index (for example, the song) of the recorded contents, the name of the selling company, precautions for handling the disc cartridge, etc. are described. The index card 34 has a fold line 36 for bending one end thereof into a substantially L shape.

And, in particular, as shown in FIG. 5, a label 35 is removably provided on the other surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer which is an intermediate layer. The label 35 is for writing a title for identifying the disc cartridge from other disc cartridges, a recording date and time, and the like. The label 35 is formed so that it can be peeled to a predetermined size by providing perforations 38.

That is, in the present embodiment, two narrow widths are formed in the vicinity of the fold line 36 so as to be attached to one side surface portion of the sleeve case 41 or the like. Further, one of the sleeve case 41 having substantially the same size as one surface is formed on one side surface through the fold line 36. Further, two intermediate-sized ones are formed on the other side surface through the fold line 36. Therefore, each of the labels 35 is peeled off from the index card 34 which is a thick paper, and can be used according to the attaching place.

In addition, the cardboard index card 3 described above
A pressure-sensitive adhesive layer coated with at least a pressure-sensitive adhesive is formed between 1 and the label 35 as in the first embodiment.
The labeled index card 31 has an index (for example, a tune) of the recorded contents of the disk cartridge, specifications such as the length and type of the magnetic tape, a title, a recording date and time, and the like.

Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the index card 31 with the label is used while being bent and exposed in a U-shaped cross section from the central portion so that these tunes and the like appeal to the eyes of the purchaser. The above-mentioned tune etc. are located on the outer peripheral surface, and they are wrapped with an overlap film. This wrapping is a so-called caramel wrap, and first, the sleeve case 4 is placed in an overlapping film 42 formed by joining opposing edges to each other into a tubular shape.
1 is inserted, and then the vicinity of both ends of the tubular overlap film 42 is bent inward,
This is completed by forming the overlapping portion and joining the overlapping portion by heat fusion. The heat fusion is performed by bringing a heating iron member made of a heated metal plate or the like into contact with the overlapping portion. Thereafter, the overlap film 42 is shrunk by being heated, and is tightly wrapped around the outer surface portion of the sleeve case 41.

By the way, in the sleeve case 41, in order to make it easy to take out the stored items stored in the sleeve case 41 to the outside, the front end side of each main surface portion is continuous with the slit-shaped opening. A notch portion for inserting a finger is provided in the portion, and as shown in FIG. 7, the outer surface portion is uneven when the disc cartridge is accommodated. Therefore, conventionally, when an unexpected external force is applied to the unevenness due to a drop or the like, the labeled index card 31 having a U-shaped cross section is easily deformed together with the overlap film, and the appearance is deteriorated.
There is a fear that the overlap film may be torn and the commercial value of the disc cartridge may be lost.

However, in the present embodiment, due to the above configuration, even if an unexpected external force is applied to the labeled index card 31 in the manufacturing process or the like, it is not easily deformed. As a result, good close-packing is performed together with the overlap film.

As described above, in this embodiment, the index cards 4 and 34 and the labels 5 and 35 are formed by interposing the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 3 and the layer 9 which has been subjected to a release treatment such as silicon treatment. The invention is not necessarily limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and needless to say, further layers may be formed. The size and number of the labels 5 and 35 separated by the perforations 8 and 38 are arbitrarily set depending on the implementation. Further, although the present embodiment has been described with respect to the one used for the tape cassette 11 and the disc cartridge 31, it can be widely applied to other devices.

[0047]

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION The labeled index card according to the present invention has an index card having one surface as an index surface on one side and this index card on the other surface via at least an adhesive layer coated with an adhesive. With a structure provided with a label which has been subjected to a mold release process as a backing sheet, it is possible to simultaneously print or process ruled lines and display fields for describing indexes of recorded contents, titles and the like.

Further, in actual use, the mount is not thrown away as in the conventional case, and even if one label is used, the other label is integrated with the index card with label, so the label is lost. It is possible to effectively prevent such a situation and manage it easily. Further, even after the label is used up, it can be used as an index card, so that the mount does not become waste, and it is possible to provide an index card that is gentle to the protection of the natural environment.
