Description

  The present invention relates to an adapter used for mounting a card type information record carrier.

  As a card-type information recording carrier (hereinafter referred to as “card-type medium”), a portable card in which a large amount of digital information is recorded using optical means is known. Specifically, this type of card-type media uses a large amount of digital information, such as various personal information, transaction information, guidance information, etc., using optical means on cash cards and credit card-sized resin cards. Alternatively, it can be recorded and recorded with video, music, game programs, and the like.

  An example of such a card-type medium is a central portion that is formed within a certain radius from the center of rotation and that includes the recording portion, and an outer portion that is formed thinner than the central portion and provided outside the central portion. The thing of the structure provided with a part is known (for example, refer patent document 1). A circular recording unit is provided at the center of one surface of the card-type medium, and digital information is written into this recording unit by a recording method similar to that for CDs and DVDs. Reproduction of the written information is performed by a reading device for CD or DVD.

  In order to set such a card type medium in a tray type writing / reading device having a horizontal type (horizontal type) tray, a step formed at the boundary between the central part and the outer part of the card type medium is used. To be placed on the tray. As a result, even if the card-type medium is rotated at a high speed, it is not detached from the predetermined position, and information can be written / read by the writing / reading device.

However, even if it is compatible with a horizontal tray writing / reading device as described above, a tray-type writing / reading device having a vertical (vertical) tray simply needs to have a card-type medium placed on the tray. , There is a problem that can not be handled. Therefore, conventionally, card-type media adapters for mounting card-type media have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3). According to such a card-type media adapter, it becomes possible to handle the card-type media in the same way as a circular information record carrier, thereby supporting a vertical tray writing / reading device. Information can be written / read by the tray writing / reading device.

  However, the conventional card-type media adapter has the following problems.

  The card-type media adapter described in Patent Document 2 includes a plurality of claws for locking the upper side of the card-type medium and a plurality of regulating members for supporting the lower side of the card-type medium. When a card-type medium is attached to such an adapter, both sides of the card-type medium are sandwiched between these claws and a regulating member.

  The card-type media adapter described in Patent Document 3 includes a plurality of upper angles and lower angles that sandwich both sides of the card-type media. When a card type medium is attached to such an adapter, both sides of the card type medium are sandwiched between the upper angle and the lower angle.

  Thus, conventionally, the card-type media is mounted on the adapter by sandwiching both sides of the card-type media between the locking claws and angles, so that the portions such as the nails are located on both sides of the adapter. It protrudes and the part becomes thicker than other parts. As a result, there is a problem that the thickened portion becomes an obstacle and cannot be applied to the slot type writing / reading device. That is, there is a problem that the above-described thickened portion is caught when an adapter with a card-type medium is inserted into or removed from a slot type writing / reading device. Further, there is a problem that it is not easy to attach / remove card-type media to / from the adapter, which is troublesome.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and can be applied to a slot-type read / write device that cannot be handled by a conventional adapter having a locking claw or the like. And it aims at providing the adapter for card type media which can perform attachment / detachment of card type media easily.

In the present invention, means for solving the above-described problems are configured as follows. That is, a card-type information recording comprising: a central portion formed within a certain radius from the rotation center and including a recording portion; and an outer portion formed thinner than the central portion and provided outside the central portion. An adapter for a card-type information record carrier for mounting a carrier, the disc-shaped base portion and a center portion of the card-type information record carrier having a size that fits at least, and the center of the opening of the base portion An opening provided in the base portion so as to coincide with the center of rotation, and an outer portion of the card-type information record carrier provided on the outside of the opening for adhesively fixing and mounting the card-type information record carrier adhesive and Bei example a holding portion having a resin adhesive layer repeatable peeling, the holding portion are formed by depressing with respect to the base portion, between the holding portion and the base portion Shape on the border The height T2 of the step is less than or equal to the thickness t2 of the outer portion of the card-type information record carrier, and the thickness T3 of the holding portion is the center portion and the outer portion of the card-type information record carrier. The height is equal to or less than the height of the step t3 formed at the boundary .

  In order to attach the card type information record carrier to the adapter for the card type information record carrier having such a configuration, the central part of the card type information record carrier is fitted into the opening, and the card type medium is inserted into the holding part provided with the adhesive layer. The outer part of the surface is brought into surface contact and fixed with adhesive. On the contrary, in order to remove the card type information record carrier mounted on the adapter for card type information record carrier, a portion other than the recording part is pushed out of the surface on the recording part side of the card type information record carrier, and the card type information record carrier is removed from the holding part. The outer part of the information record carrier is peeled off. As described above, the card type information record carrier can be attached / removed to / from the card type information record carrier adapter very easily compared to the conventional adapter having a locking claw or the like. The carrier adapter can be used repeatedly. Moreover, because of the simple configuration without the locking claws, it can be manufactured easily and inexpensively.

According to the card type information record carrier adapter having such a configuration, even when a parallel force acts on the surface of the card type information record carrier adapter when the card type information record carrier is mounted, the adhesive strength of the adhesive As a result, the card-type information record carrier does not easily deviate from the mounted position. On the other hand, when a force having a component in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the card type information record carrier adapter is applied, the card type information record carrier is easily removed from the card type information record carrier adapter. This makes it easy to attach / remove the card-type information record carrier to / from the adapter for the card-type information record carrier by adhesively fixing the outer part of the card-type information record carrier to the holding part or peeling it from the holding part. The card type information record carrier adapter can be used repeatedly.

  According to the adapter for the card type information record carrier having such a configuration, when the height of the step T2 is set to be equal to or less than the thickness t2 of the outer portion of the card type information record carrier, the card type information record carrier is mounted. The surface of the base portion does not protrude with respect to the printing surface (flat surface) of the card type information record carrier.

  Further, by setting the thickness T3 of the holding portion to be not more than the height t3 of the step of the card type information record carrier, when the card type information record carrier is mounted, the back surface of the base portion is the central portion of the card type information record carrier. Will not protrude.

  In this way, when the card type information record carrier is attached, the card type information record carrier adapter is regulated by controlling the thickness of the card type information record carrier adapter according to the thickness of each part of the card type information record carrier to be attached. The card-type information record carrier of the record carrier adapter does not protrude from both sides. As a result, it is possible to deal with a slot-type read / write device that could not be handled by a conventional adapter having locking claws or the like.

In the adapter for card type information record carrier of the present invention, the height T2 of the step between the holding part and the base part coincides with the thickness t2 of the outer part of the card type information record carrier, and The thickness T3 is equal to the height t3 of the step between the central portion and the outer portion of the card type information record carrier .

According to the adapter for the card type information record carrier having such a configuration, in the case of the resin adhesive layer, it can be made extremely thin so that the thickness thereof hardly needs to be taken into consideration. Is matched with the thickness t2 of the outer portion of the card-type medium, so that when the card-type medium is mounted, one surface of the adapter and the printing surface of the card-type medium are positioned on the same plane. Further, by making the thickness T3 of the holding portion of the adapter coincide with the step height t3 of the card type media, the other surface of the adapter and the surface of the central portion of the card type media are positioned on the same plane. become. In other words, the thickness of the entire adapter with the card-type medium attached matches the card-type medium. As a result, the adapter with the card-type media can be handled in the same way as a general CD, etc., and the adapter with the card-type media is not taken into and out of the slot type writing / reading device. Can be put in and out smoothly. As a result, it is possible to deal with a slot-type read / write device that cannot be handled by a conventional adapter having a locking claw or the like.

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, the present invention can be applied to a slot-type read / write device that cannot be handled by a conventional adapter having locking claws or the like. Also, the card type information record carrier can be attached / removed to / from the card type information record carrier adapter very easily, and the card type information record carrier adapter can be used repeatedly.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings for understanding of the present invention. In addition, the following embodiment is an example which actualized this invention, Comprising: The thing of the character which limits the technical scope of this invention is not.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of an adapter for a card-type information record carrier (hereinafter referred to as “card-type medium”) to which the present invention is applied, FIG. 2 is a plan view, and FIG. FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a card-type media adapter (hereinafter simply referred to as “adapter”) 10 includes a disk-shaped base portion 40 and an opening 20 formed at the center of the base portion 40. And a holding unit 30. The holding unit 30 is provided with an adhesive layer 35 for adhesively fixing the outer portion 86 of the card-type medium 80 so as to be removable. Below, what has such an adhesion layer is called a holding part. Specifically, the diameter of the outer periphery of the adapter 10 is about 12 cm, which is the same as the diameter of a general CD. The material of the adapter 10 is not particularly limited, but is preferably a resin from the viewpoint of molding and cost.

  In the following, in the adapter 10, the surface on the printing surface 83 side of the card-type medium 80 attached is referred to as a printing surface 60, and the opposite surface of the printing surface 83, that is, the recording of the card-type medium 80 attached. The surface on the part 90 side is referred to as a recording surface 70. Further, the outside means that the distance from the rotation center is large on the half line extending outward from the rotation center, and conversely, the inside means that the distance from the rotation center is small. In addition, attaching the card type medium 80 to the adapter 10 means fixing the card type medium 80 to the adapter 10 by adhering and fixing the outer portion 86 of the card type medium 80 to the holding unit 30 as described later. To do.

  Here, the card-type medium 80 attached to the adapter 10 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the card-type medium 80 is formed in a size approximating that of a general card. Specifically, the resin substrate 81 is formed in a rectangular shape having a short side of about 56 mm and a long side of about 85 mm. In the center of the substrate 81, a hole 82 having a diameter of about 15 mm is formed so as to penetrate the front and back. Also, each corner of the substrate 81 is chamfered into rounded corners, and the dimension from the rotation center to each corner is about 50 mm.

  One surface of the substrate 81 (the back surface in FIG. 4) is a flat printing surface 83, and so-called printing information such as characters and figures is recorded on the printing surface 83. On the other surface (surface in FIG. 4) of the substrate 81, a central portion 85 within a radius of about 40 mm from the center of rotation is formed slightly thicker than its outer portion 86. Two outer portions 86 are formed outside a substantially oval central portion (inner portion) 85, and an arc-shaped step 87 is formed at the boundary between the central portion 85 and the outer portion 86. As an example of specific dimensions, the thickness t1 of the central portion 85 is about 1.2 mm, and the thickness t2 of the outer portion 86 is about 0.6 mm, which is almost the same as the thickness of a general CD as a whole. Yes. The height t3 of the step 87 can be expressed as (t1-t2), and in this case, is about 0.6 mm.

  A recording portion 90 for writing digital information is formed in the central portion of the surface where the central portion 85 is formed, concentrically with the central hole portion 82. The size of the recording unit 90 is within a circular range whose diameter is smaller than the short side dimension of the substrate 81. Digital signal information is written into the recording unit 90 by a recording method similar to that for CDs and DVDs.

  As described above, the card-type medium 80 includes the central portion 85 including the recording unit 90 and the outer portion 86 that is formed thinner than the central portion 85 and provided outside the central portion 85. By mounting such a card type medium 80 on the adapter 10 and setting the adapter 10 in a writing / reading device, information recorded in the recording unit 90 of the card type medium 80 can be read out by the writing / reading device. Information can be written to the recording unit 90 of the card-type medium 80.

  Next, the base part 40 of the adapter 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. The base portion 40 is formed with a predetermined thickness T1. It is desirable that both surfaces (printing surface 60 and recording surface 70) of the base portion 40 are flat. The thickness T1 of the base portion 40 only needs to be equal to or less than the thickness t1 of the central portion 85 of the card-type medium 80 described above (T1 ≦ t1), and is not particularly limited and can be changed as appropriate. In the illustrated example, the thickness T1 of the base portion 40 is made to coincide with the thickness t1 of the central portion 85 of the card-type medium 80, and specifically, is about 1.2 mm.

  Then, the opening part 20 of the adapter 10 is demonstrated using FIGS. 1-3. The opening 20 has a size that can accommodate at least the central portion 85 of the card-type medium 80 described above, and is formed in the base portion 40 so that the center of the opening coincides with the rotation center of the base portion 40.

  The shape of the opening 20 is not particularly limited as long as the central portion 85 of the card type medium 80 can be accommodated, and can be appropriately changed. Preferably, the shape is such that the central portion 85 of the card-type medium 80 just fits as in the illustrated example. That is, the shape of the opening 20 is set to a substantially oval shape, and is matched with the shape of the central portion 85 of the card type medium 80. When the shape of the opening 20 is matched with the shape of the central portion 85 of the card type medium 80, when the card type medium 80 is mounted, a part of the inner periphery of the opening 20 and the circle of the card type medium 80 are The arc-shaped step 87 is in contact with the gap with no gap, and the remaining portion of the inner periphery of the opening 20 is in contact with a portion of the outer periphery of the substrate 81 of the card-type medium 80 with no gap.

  Next, the holding | maintenance part 30 of the adapter 10 is demonstrated using FIGS. 1-3. The holding unit 30 is formed outside the opening 20 so as to hold a part or all of the outer portion 86 of the card-type medium 80 described above. In the illustrated example, the holding portions 30 are formed in pairs on the outside of the opening 20.

  The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 35 provided on the holding unit 30 is formed as a resin adhesive layer applied to the holding unit 30. With this adhesive, the outer portion 86 of the card-type medium 80 can be adhesively fixed to the holding unit 30 or peeled off from the holding unit 30. Further, the outer portion 86 of the card-type medium 80 can be repeatedly adhered and peeled to the holding portion 30. The adhesive may be applied to the entire area of the holding unit 30, or may be applied to a part of the portion of the holding unit 30 that contacts the outer portion 86 of the card type medium 80.

  By providing such a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 35 on the holding unit 30, even when a force parallel to the printing surface 60 is applied when the card-type medium 80 is attached, the card-type medium 80 is attached by the adhesive force of the adhesive. It will not easily deviate from the position. Thereby, for example, when information is written / read by the writing / reading device, the position of the loaded card-type medium 80 is not shifted even if the adapter 10 is rotated at a high speed. On the other hand, when a force having a component in a direction perpendicular to the printing surface 60 is applied, the card type medium 80 is easily removed from the adapter 10. As described above, the holding unit 30 having the adhesive layer 35 is provided as a part that adheres and fixes the outer portion 86 of the card-type medium 80 so as to be removable. Moreover, it becomes unnecessary to consider the influence of the thickness of the adhesion layer 35 by apply | coating resin-made adhesives very thinly (for example, very thinly from the height T2 of the level | step difference 50 mentioned later). The type of resin adhesive is not particularly limited as long as it has a suitable adhesive force and can repeatedly be adhered and peeled even when thinly applied. Specifically, Sumitomo 3M Co., Ltd. 4591HM and 4591HL are employable.

  The holding unit 30 may be formed on the same plane as the printing surface 60 of the base unit 40. In this case, when the card type medium 80 is mounted, the thickness t2 of the outer portion 86 of the card type medium 80 is provided. Accordingly, a step is formed between the substrate 81 of the card-type medium 80 and the printing surface 60. Therefore, it is preferable to form the holding portion 30 by being recessed by a predetermined height with respect to the printing surface 60 of the base portion 40. In this case, the holding part 30 is formed thinner than the base part 40, and a step 50 is formed at the boundary with the base part 40. At this time, the height T2 of the step 50 can be expressed as (T1-T3), where the thickness of the holding portion 30 is T3.

  Furthermore, the height T2 of the step 50 is preferably equal to or less than the thickness t2 of the outer portion 86 of the card-type medium 80 (T2 ≦ t2). In the illustrated example, the height T <b> 2 of the step 50 is made to coincide with the thickness t <b> 2 of the outer portion 86 of the card type medium 80, specifically, about 0.6 mm. In this case, as described above, the resin adhesive is applied very thinly, so that when the card-type medium 80 is mounted, the printing surface 83 and the printing surface 60 of the card-type medium 80 are substantially flush with each other. It will be located on the top.

  Furthermore, it is preferable that the thickness T3 of the holding unit 30 is equal to or less than the height t3 of the step 87 of the card type medium 80 (T3 ≦ t3). In the illustrated example, the thickness T3 of the holding unit 30 is made to coincide with the height t3 of the step 87 of the card-type medium 80, specifically, about 0.6 mm. In this case, as described above, the resin adhesive is applied very thinly, so that when the card-type medium 80 is mounted, the surface of the central portion 85 of the card-type medium 80 and the recording surface 70 are substantially omitted. It will be located on the same plane.

  The shape of the holding portion 30 may be such that the central portion 85 of the card type medium 80 is accommodated in the opening 20 formed on the inner side thereof and is in surface contact with part or all of the outer portion 86 of the card type medium 80. If it is, it will not specifically limit but it can change suitably. In this case, it is preferable to match the shape of the outer portion 86 of the card-type medium 80 as in the illustrated example. When the shape of the holding portion 30 is made to match the shape of the outer portion 86, when the card type medium 80 is mounted, there is almost no gap between the step 50 and a part of the outer periphery of the substrate 81 of the card type medium 80. Contact with the state.

  When the adapter 10 configured as described above is viewed from a different viewpoint, the adapter 10 has a two-layer structure of a first layer on the printing surface 60 side and a second layer on the recording surface 70 side. The thickness of the first layer is equal to the height T2 of the step 50, and a substantially rectangular opening is formed in the center of the first layer. The thickness of the second layer is equal to the thickness T3 of the holding portion 30, and a substantially oval shaped opening having a shape that just fits the central portion 85 of the card-type medium 80 is formed at the center of the second layer. Yes.

  In order to attach the card-type medium 80 to the adapter 10 having the above-described configuration, the printing surface 60 and the surface of the card-type medium 80 on the recording unit 90 side face each other, and the card-type medium 80 is inserted into the opening 20. The central portion 85 is fitted, and the outer portion 86 of the card type medium 80 is brought into surface contact with the holding portion 30 (adhesive layer 35). Then, the outer portion 86 is adhesively fixed to the holding portion 30 by the adhesive strength of the adhesive, and the card type medium 80 is attached to the adapter 10.

  At this time, at least a part of the opening 20 or at least a part of the holding part 30 plays a role of a positioning member for positioning so that the respective rotation centers coincide with each other at the time of mounting. That is, the position of the card-type medium 80 is regulated by the uneven portion of the adapter 10 (the inner peripheral edge of the opening 20 or the step 50), so that the rotation centers are aligned with each other.

  On the other hand, in order to remove the card-type medium 80 attached to the adapter 10, a portion other than the recording unit 90 on the surface of the card-type medium 80 on the recording unit 90 side is pressed, and the card-type medium 80 is removed from the holding unit 30 (adhesive layer 35). The outer portion 86 of the media 80 may be peeled off. Thus, compared with the conventional adapter which has the nail | claw for latching etc., attachment / detachment of the card-type medium 80 to the adapter 10 can be performed very easily, and the adapter 10 can be used repeatedly. Moreover, since the adapter 10 has a simple configuration in which no locking claw or the like is provided, the adapter 10 can be easily and inexpensively manufactured.

  As described above, the height T2 of the step 50 is set to be equal to or less than the thickness t2 of the outer portion 86 of the card type medium 80, and the resin adhesive is applied very thinly, whereby the card type medium 80 is applied to the adapter 10. Is attached, the printing surface 60 does not protrude from the substrate 81 (printing surface 83) of the card-type medium 80. In this case, by making the height T2 of the step 50 coincide with the thickness t2 of the outer portion 86, the printing surface 60 and the printing surface 83 are positioned on substantially the same plane.

  Further, as described above, the thickness T3 of the holding portion 30 is set to be equal to or less than the height t3 of the step 87 of the card type medium 80, and the resin adhesive is applied very thinly, whereby the card type is applied to the adapter 10. When the medium 80 is mounted, the recording surface 70 does not protrude from the central portion 85 of the card type medium 80. In this case, by making the thickness T3 of the holding portion 30 coincide with the height t3 of the step 87, the recording surface 70 and the surface of the central portion 85 are positioned on substantially the same plane.

  Thus, by regulating the thickness of the adapter 10 according to the thickness of each part of the card-type medium 80 to be loaded, both sides of the adapter 10 are attached to the card-type medium 80 when the card-type medium 80 is loaded. It will not protrude from both sides. That is, the entire thickness of the adapter 10 with the card-type medium 80 attached matches the card-type medium 80. As a result, the adapter 10 with the card-type medium 80 attached can be handled in the same manner as a general CD or the like, and when the adapter 10 with the card-type medium 80 attached is taken in and out of the slot type writing / reading device, the adapter 10 is caught. It can be taken in and out smoothly. As a result, it is possible to deal with a slot-type read / write device that cannot be handled by a conventional adapter having a locking claw or the like.

  Furthermore, as described above, the shape of the opening 20 matches the shape of the central portion 85 of the card-type medium 80 so that the central portion 85 just fits in the opening 20, so that the opening 20 At the time of mounting, it becomes a positioning member for positioning so that the respective rotation centers coincide with each other, and thus positioning can be performed easily.

  In addition, as described above, the shape of the holding portion 30 is matched with the shape of the outer portion 86 of the card-type medium 80 so that the outer portion 86 is just in contact with the holding portion 30. 50) becomes a positioning member for positioning so that the centers of rotation coincide with each other at the time of mounting, so that the positioning can be performed easily.

  In this way, by regulating the shape of the adapter 10 according to the shape of each part of the card-type medium 80 to be attached, it becomes easy to perform alignment when the card-type medium 80 is attached. 80 wearing is stable.

  Next, a modified example of the adapter 10 will be described. As described above, the shape of the opening 20 of the adapter 10 and the shape of the holding unit 30 can be appropriately changed.

  An adapter 100 according to Modification 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, about the structure similar to the said adapter 10, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted and a different structure is demonstrated in detail.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the adapter 100 includes a disk-shaped base portion 140, an opening 120 formed at the center of the base portion 140, and a holding portion 130. The holding unit 130 is provided with an adhesive layer 135 for adhesively fixing the outer portion 86 of the card type medium 80 so as to be removable.

  The difference from the adapter 10 is the shape of the opening 120 and the shape of the holding portion 130. The opening 120 of the adapter 100 is formed larger than the opening 20 of the adapter 10. When the card-type medium 80 is mounted, a part of the inner peripheral edge of the opening 120 is in contact with a part of the outer periphery of the substrate 81 of the card-type medium 80 with almost no gap, but the remaining inner peripheral edge of the opening 120 The part of does not touch.

  Four holding portions 130 are formed outside the opening 120. The holding part 130 is formed smaller than the holding part 30 of the adapter 10 by the amount that the opening 120 is formed larger. A part of the outer portion 86 of the card type medium 80 is in surface contact with the holding unit 130. The holding part 130 is formed in a substantially triangular shape, and a step 150 is formed at the boundary with the base part 140. The shape of the holding unit 130 is not limited to the illustrated shape.

  Next, an adapter 200 according to Modification 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, about the structure similar to the said adapter 10, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted and a different structure is demonstrated in detail.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the adapter 200 includes a disk-shaped base portion 240, an opening 220 formed in the center portion of the base portion 240, and a holding portion 230. The holding portion 230 is provided with an adhesive layer 235 for adhesively fixing the outer portion 86 of the card type medium 80 so as to be removable.

  The difference from the adapter 10 is the shape of the opening 220 and the shape of the holding portion 230. The opening 220 of the adapter 200 is formed in a circular shape and is larger than the opening 20 of the adapter 10. The radius of the opening 220 is formed equal to the distance from the rotation center of the card type medium 80 to the step 87 (in this case, about 40 mm). When the card-type medium 80 is mounted, a part of the inner peripheral edge of the opening 220 and the step 87 are in contact with each other with almost no gap, but the remaining part of the inner peripheral edge of the opening 220 is not in contact.

  The holding part 230 is formed in an annular shape and is formed outside the opening 220. The outer diameter of the holding part 230 is formed to be equal to the distance (in this case, about 50 mm) from the rotation center of the card type medium 80 to each corner of the substrate 81. When the card-type medium 80 is mounted, the entire outer portion 86 of the card-type medium 80 comes into surface contact with a part of the holding portion 230, and the step 250 formed at the boundary between the holding portion 230 and the base portion 240. Each corner of the substrate 81 of the card-type medium 80 is in contact with a part of the card type medium 80.

  Next, an adapter 300 according to Modification 3 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. In addition, about the structure similar to the said adapter 10, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted and a different structure is demonstrated in detail.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the adapter 300 includes a disk-shaped base portion 340, and an opening 320 and a holding portion 330 formed at the center of the base portion 340. The holding portion 330 is provided with an adhesive layer 335 for adhesively fixing the outer portion 86 of the card type medium 80 so as to be removable.

  The difference from the adapter 10 is that the shape of the holding portion 330 and a plurality of protrusions 331 are provided. The holding part 330 of the adapter 300 is formed larger than the holding part 30 of the adapter 10 outside the opening 320. Further, a plurality of projections 331 (eight in this example) are formed, and these projections 331 are formed from the base portion 340 so as to be in contact with a part of the outer periphery of the substrate 81 of the card-type medium 80 to be mounted. It extends. The shape and number of the protrusions 331 are not limited to those illustrated. Further, the adhesive layer 335 is provided not on the entire area of the holding portion 330 but on a portion in contact with the outer portion 86 of the card type medium 80.

  Next, an adapter 400 according to Modification 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. In addition, about the structure similar to the said adapter 10, detailed description is abbreviate | omitted and a different structure is demonstrated in detail.

  As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the adapter 400 includes a disc-shaped base portion 440, an opening 420 formed at the center of the base portion 440, and holding portions 430 and 431. The holding portions 430 and 431 are provided with adhesive layers 435 and 436 for adhesively fixing the outer portion 86 of the card type medium 80 so as to be removable.

  The difference from the adapter 10 is that the holding portion 431 is provided in addition to the holding portion 430 similar to the holding portion 30 of the adapter 10 and the shape of the opening 420. The opening 420 of the adapter 400 is formed in a circular shape and is larger than the opening 20 of the adapter 10. The radius of the opening 420 is formed to be equal to the distance from the rotation center of the card-type medium 80 to the step 87 (in this case, about 40 mm). When the card-type medium 80 is mounted, a part of the inner peripheral edge of the opening 220 and the step 87 are in contact with each other with almost no gap, but the remaining part of the inner peripheral edge of the opening 220 is not in contact.

  The holding portions 430 have the same shape as the holding portion 30 of the adapter 10 and are formed in pairs on the outside of the opening 420. Similarly, the holding portions 431 have the same shape as the holding portion 30 of the adapter 10 and are formed in pairs on the outside of the opening 420. The holding portion 431 is formed at a position where the holding portion 430 is rotated 90 degrees around the rotation center of the adapter 400. Steps 450 and 451 are formed at the boundary between the holding portions 430 and 431 and the base portion 440. By providing such holding portions 430 and 431, in addition to the above-described advantages, there are the following advantages.

  Only the other holding part 430 to which the release paper is not attached is attached in order to attach the card-type medium 80 immediately after the release paper is attached to one of the holding parts 431 and the use of the adapter 400 is started. To use. The adapter 400 is repeated, and when the adhesive force of the resin adhesive applied to the holding unit 430 gradually decreases, the release paper of the holding unit 431 is peeled off. Immediately after the release paper is peeled off, the adhesive force is substantially the same as that immediately after the start of use of the adapter 400. Therefore, the holding portion 431 may be used for mounting the card-type medium 80. As a result, the number of times the adapter 400 can be used repeatedly is approximately twice that of the adapter 10.
