Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to a package that can integrally house a booklet and a tape cassette that are related to each other.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, there is a package shown in FIG. 1 that integrally houses, for example, a tape cassette in which correlated computer software is recorded and an instruction manual for the tape cassette. In Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an inner case made of a foamed material formed into a flat rectangular shape, and the inner case 1 is shaped to fit the shape of the instruction manual 2 so that the instruction manual 2 can be inserted flatly into one plate surface of the inner case 1. A first recessed storage section 3 is formed, and a second recessed storage section 5 into which the microcassette 4 is inserted is formed at the bottom of this storage section 3. Furthermore, an opening 6 is formed at the bottom of the second storage section 5. At this time, the peripheral edge of the opening 6 must be made thick to a certain extent so that the strength of the peripheral edge is not impaired.

The microcassette 4 is inserted into the second storage section 5 of the inner case 1, and the manual 2 is inserted into the first storage section 3 from above. And this inner case 1
After being inserted into a cylindrical outer case 7, the outside is wrapped using a packaging film 8. At this time,
A window 7a is formed in the outer case 7 in correspondence with the opening 6 so that the microcassette 4 inserted into the second storage part 5 can be seen from the outside.

[Means for Solving the Problems] However, if a foam material is used for the inner case 1 of this package, it is difficult to make the package thinner because the periphery of the opening 6 cannot be made very thin in terms of strength. It is.

Furthermore, if the opening 6 and the window 7a are formed so that the microcassette 4 can be seen, dust and the like will easily enter the second storage section 5 from the outside, which will impair the effectiveness of the package. For this reason, when displaying, the outside must be wrapped with a packaging film 8, which increases packaging work and costs. Moreover, since a cavity is formed in the opening 6, there is a problem in that the packaging film 8 is easily torn when pressed from the outside.

This idea was made to solve the above problems, and it is possible to omit the outer packaging film, easily make the cassette thinner, and make it possible to observe the cassette from the outside. The purpose is to provide a package.

[Means and Effects for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the package of the present invention has a second storage section that stores the tape cassette integrally formed at the bottom of the first storage section that stores the booklet. The present invention is characterized by comprising an inner case made of synthetic resin, and an outer case having a window portion formed to correspond to the bottom of the second storage portion and into which the inner case is loaded.

This invention uses a transparent internal case made of synthetic resin, which has a first storage area for storing booklets and a second storage area for storing cassette tapes integrated with the bottom of the first storage area for storing booklets, and this is housed in an external case. Therefore, there is no waste in the dimension in the thickness direction, and it is possible to easily reduce the thickness.

Further, since the outer case has a window section at the bottom of the second storage section of the inner case, it becomes possible to observe the tape cassette from the outside.

[Embodiment] An embodiment of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 2, reference numeral 11 denotes a first storage section 14 and a second storage section 11 so that a booklet having a correlation with each other, such as a computer software manual 12 and a microcassette 13 containing the computer software, can be inserted therein.
This is an internal case in which a storage section 15 is integrally formed.
The inner case 11 is integrally formed from a transparent thermoplastic synthetic resin film by vacuum forming or other means. In the illustrated example, a first storage part 14 is formed to match the shape of the manual 12 so that the manual 12 can be inserted in a flat state, and a microcassette 13 shaped like the microcassette 13 is formed at the bottom of this storage part 14. Together, the second storage section 15 is formed. Furthermore, in order to reinforce the inner case 11, a reinforcing rib 16 is formed at the bottom of the first storage portion 14, and a vertical portion 17 is formed at the periphery.

After inserting the microcassette 13 into the second storage section 15 of the internal case 11, the manual 12 is inserted into the first storage section 14 from above. Then, insert this inner case 11 into the cylindrical outer case 18,
Seal 19,1 for sealing the entrance and exit of the external case 18
Seal using 9. At this time, as shown in FIG.
A window 18a is formed in the outer case 18 to correspond to the bottom of the storage section 15.

Therefore, according to such a configuration, by integrally molding the inner case 11 with transparent synthetic resin, the bottom of the second storage section 15 can be viewed through the window 18a of the outer case 18 and the microcassette 13 can be inserted. It can be confirmed. Moreover, since the window part 18a can be closed by the bottom of the second storage part 15, it is possible to prevent dust from entering, and since the microcassettes 13 cannot be directly touched during display, the microcassettes 13 cannot be directly touched. Quality can be maintained, and the packaging work can be simplified by omitting the outermost packaging film. Moreover, since a vacuum-formed product has stronger strength and better workability than a foam case, it can be easily made thinner. Moreover, vacuum-formed products have the advantage of being cheaper than foam cases.

Next, another embodiment of this invention will be explained with reference to FIG.

In this embodiment, the overall thickness l is approximately equal to the thickness of a c (compact) cassette. Here, since FIG. 4 has almost the same structure as FIG. 2, the same parts as in FIG. In the figure, reference numerals 21 denote a first storage section 22 into which a computer software manual 12 is inserted, a second storage section 23 into which a microcassette 13 containing computer software is inserted into the bottom of the first storage section 22; The third one to insert the dry batteries 24, 24 of the book.
This is an internal case in which storage parts 25, 25 are integrally formed. This inner case 21 is formed by vacuum forming a transparent thermoplastic synthetic resin film in the same manner as in the above embodiment.

In this way, the total thickness l and c (compact)
By matching the thickness of the cassette, it is possible to obtain a space next to the second storage section 23 in which two dry batteries 24 can be stored.

Therefore, with such a configuration, the same effects as described above can be achieved.

On the other hand, in the case of a foam case, the thin wall part must be made thicker to some extent, so when the overall thickness is matched to the thickness of a C (compact) cassette, there is enough space to accommodate the dry battery 24. I couldn't do it. On this point, if the inner case 21 is vacuum formed with a thermoplastic synthetic resin film, sufficient strength can be obtained even if the film is made thinner to some extent, so the space of the inner case 21 can be significantly larger than that of a foam case. . This makes it possible to easily insert the dry battery 24.

Note that this invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and can be implemented with various modifications without changing the gist.

For example, in the above embodiment, the outer case is formed into a cylindrical shape, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may also be formed into a box shape.

Further, in the above embodiment, this invention was adopted for a microcassette, but it can be adopted for a cassette instead of this microcassette.

[Effects of the Invention] According to this invention, a transparent inner case in which a second storage part for storing a tape cassette is integrally formed with the bottom of at least a first storage part for storing a booklet is inserted into an outer case, and the transparent inner case is inserted into the outer case. By forming a window part in the external case corresponding to the bottom part of the second storage part,
The outer packaging film can be omitted, the cassette can be easily made thinner, and the cassette can be observed from the outside.
