Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a videotape index card, and more particularly to a videotape index card suitable for being provided in a magazine or the like.

Currently, there are two types of video tapes with different formats: the VHS (registered trademark) system and the β system, and the video cassettes of both types differ in size. The card adhesion portions formed on the top surfaces of both types of video cassettes also have different shapes.

Therefore, in magazines for video recording,
When preparing an index card for TV programs, etc. to be attached to the card attachment section of a video cassette, use an index card that is sized to fit the card attachment section of both VHS and β format video cassettes. However, if index cards for both types are prepared separately, there is a high possibility that one index card will be wasted.

In view of these points, the present invention has been made for the purpose of providing a videotape index card that can be attached to the card attachment part of a video cassette of either the VHS system or the β system. It has a nearly rectangular title display section, a VHS video tape mode display section connected to one side of the title display section, and a β system videotape mode display section connected to the other side of the title display section. The shape of the title display section combined with one of the mode display sections is approximately the same as the shape of the card attachment section of a video cassette of both types.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention, in which a videotape index card 1 has a nearly rectangular title display section 2, and the length of the vertical side 3a of the title display section 2 is The length is slightly shorter than the length of the vertical side 6a of the card attachment portion 5 of the VHS video cassette 4 shown in FIG. Further, the length of the horizontal side 3b of the title display section 2 is slightly shorter than the length of the horizontal side 9b of the card pasting section 8 of the β-type video cassette 7 shown in FIG. .

On the right side of the title display section 2, a substantially rectangular mode display section 11 for a VHS video cassette 4 is connected via a cutoff line 10.
The length of the horizontal side 3b of the title display section 2 plus the horizontal side 12b of the mode display section 11 is slightly shorter than the length of the horizontal side 6b of the card attachment section 5 of the VHS video cassette 4. It is said to be long. Further, on the upper side of the title display section 2, there is a cutoff line 13.
A substantially rectangular mode display section 14 for the β-type video cassette 7 is connected via the video cassette 7, and the vertical side 15a of the mode display section 14 is added to the vertical side 3a of the title display section 2. The length is slightly shorter than the length of the vertical side 9a of the card attachment section 8 of the β-type video cassette 7.

Next, the operation of the embodiment described above will be explained.

The video cassette I have is the VHS shown in Figure 2.
In the case of a video cassette 4 of the format 4, if the mode display section 14 of the β format of the videotape index card 1 is cut out along the cut-off line 13 with a cutter or the like, the remaining index card 1A can be removed as shown in FIG. As shown, the index card 1 is of a size that can be attached to the card attachment section 5 of a VHS video cassette 4, and the index card 1 can be attached to this card attachment section 5. On the other hand, in the case of the β system video cassette 7 shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, the size is such that it can be pasted into the card pasting section 8 of the β-type video cassette 7.

In this way, the videotape index card 1 can be attached to the card adhesion section 8 of a video cassette of both types by simply cutting off one mode display section 11 or 14.
Since the size is suitable for 5 or 5, there is no need to provide it in magazines, etc., and there is no waste.

As explained above, the videotape index card according to the present invention has a nearly rectangular title display area, and two types of video tapes of different formats are connected on two sides of the title display area. Since the shape of the title display section and either mode display section is approximately the same as the shape of the card attachment section of both types of video cassettes, one card can be used for either method. It can also be attached to the card attachment part of a video cassette.
It has the practical effect of eliminating waste.
