  Recently, in addition to CDs and DVDs, comic magazines have been rented, and instead of the rental case (b), the comic magazine is inserted into the rental cover case (b) with the upper end protruding. The applicant has filed an application for a cover case for rental in which the body portion is formed of a thin sheet on March 14, 2003 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-276947).

The rental cover case is “a rental case that stores a recording medium such as a CD or DVD, or a rental cover case that accommodates an upper end portion of an article such as a magazine and projects upward. The body portion is a cylindrical body obtained by bending a plate material cut into a predetermined shape, and the body portion is configured by attaching the pedestal, which is a resin molded product.
By fitting and attaching the base formed at the lower end of the body part obtained by bending a thin sheet, the strength and rigidity of the entire case is increased, and it is possible to stand up stably without falling. Further, the cover is inserted inside the body part, but it is not turned off by being folded back at the upper end of the body and engaging with the ear part. Sheets that make up the body section are about 0.3 to 0.5 mm, and they are manufactured without leaving large gaps between the rental cases that are accommodated. Cases can be arranged.

However, after inserting the cover, the work of folding the folded back inward so that it does not come off is cumbersome, and the inserted cover forms a gap between the inner surface of the body and the characters on the cover. In many cases, the pattern is not clearly visible.
