Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a coin case for storing commemorative coins, medals, old coins, etc. for viewing purposes.

[Prior Art] Coin cases for storing the above-mentioned commemorative coins, etc. are made of plastic that is completely transparent, or the case itself is opaque, and when the lid is opened, a recess for storing coins is provided on the top surface. Some cases have a base made of cloth such as velvet. In the case of the transparent plastic case mentioned above, the coins inside can be seen with the case closed, so you can appreciate the coins without having to open and close the lid each time, but the case itself ends up looking cheap.

Instead, the lid is transparent so that the coins can be seen from the outside, so you rarely open the lid and touch the coins. This invention does not apply to transparent plastic cases that look cheap.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

The above-mentioned opaque case can be configured to create a luxurious atmosphere like a jewelry case, but since the coins inside cannot be viewed as they are, the lid must be opened and closed each time. In most cases, the coins are exposed, and as a result, people tend to touch them while viewing them, reducing the value of the coins.

In addition, if the coins were to be displayed with the lids open, there was also the problem that dust would collect on the coins.

Therefore, I thought of a transparent inner cover, but if I placed it tightly on the top of the pedestal on which the coins are placed inside the main body, I could prevent my hands from touching it and prevent it from getting dusty. There was a problem that the inner cover could not be easily removed when moving or cleaning.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the present invention has an opaque lid 2 attached to the main body 1 so as to be openable and closable, and a recess 3 for storing at least one coin lying therein. In the coin case provided with a pedestal 4, the pedestal 4 itself is made of a flexible material, and
A slight space S1 is provided between the upper surface and the upper edge 1A of the main body 1, and an insertion space is provided in at least a portion between the opposing side surfaces of the pedestal 4 and the inner side 1B of the main body 1. S2 are respectively provided, and rotation fulcrum protrusions 6 are provided on the lower surfaces of both side edges of the transparent plate-shaped inner cover 5 placed on the pedestal 4 to be removably inserted into the space S2. be.

[Effect]

That is, by freely using opaque materials, a beautiful coin case can be made, but the coins cannot be easily touched when opening and closing the lid.
In the open state, it can be tightly closed to prevent dust from entering, but when it is necessary to replace the coin or wipe it, as shown in Fig. 4, by pressing the front side edge of the inner cover downward, the The flexible pedestal is slightly bent and swung downward around the rotation fulcrum protrusion, and the opposite side edge is raised from the pedestal to make it easier for fingers to hook onto the inner cover. It can be easily removed.

〔Example〕

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, an opaque lid body 2 is attached to a main body 1 made of an opaque and luxurious material for storing commemorative coins using an elastic hinge so that the opening and closing positions can be switched freely. A coin case is constructed by providing a pedestal 4 having a recessed part 3 for storing three coins lying on the inner surface of the coin case. The pedestal 4 itself is made of a flexible material, such as plastic with velvet attached, and a small space S1 is provided between its upper surface and the upper edge 1A of the main body 1. An insertion space S2 is provided between the opposing side surfaces of the pedestal 4 and the inner side 1B of the main body 1, and a transparent plate-shaped inner cover 5 is placed on the pedestal 1. It is configured as follows. Further, on the lower surfaces of both lateral edges of the transparent plate-shaped inner cover 5, rotation fulcrum protrusions 6 are provided, which are removably inserted into the spacer S2. The rotation fulcrum protrusion 6 is located on the lower surface of the inner cover 5 at an approximately intermediate position between both side edges.
It consists of a semicircular plate with a rounded bottom.

Although the inner cover 5 is made of transparent synthetic resin, any other suitable material may be used as long as it is transparent.

Further, the lower end of the pivoting fulcrum projection 6 may be a pointed end, and in short, it may have any shape as long as it has the function of a fulcrum.

Furthermore, the position of the pivoting fulcrum projection 6 does not have to be approximately midway between the lower surfaces of both lateral edges of the inner cover 5, but may be provided offset to either side.
By pressing the side edge of a short distance from the side edge, the amount of lifting of the opposite side edge may be increased, thereby making it easier for the finger to be caught.

The coin case of the present invention may be configured to accommodate one or more commemorative coins, medals, old coins, etc.

[Effect of idea]

The present invention makes it possible to create a beautiful coin case by freely using opaque materials, but also prevents coins from being easily touched when opening/closing the lid or displaying the coins in an open display. When it is necessary to replace the coin or wipe it, press the front side edge of the inner cover downward, and the inner cover can be closed tightly to prevent the coin from getting inside. The inner cover can be easily removed by slightly bending the flexible pedestal and swinging it downward so that the opposite side edge rises from the pedestal to make it easier to hook the inner cover. be effective.
