Description

[Detailed description of the invention] <Industrial field of application> This invention is applicable to the field of storage, where the number of sheets stored is increasing with the development and spread of office automation and home automation such as personal computers and word processors. This article relates to a floppy disk storage case used for classifying, organizing, and storing floppy disks.

<Prior Art> Various structures have been known as storage cases for floppy disks that are lightweight and thin.

A typical example is (a) As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a plurality of partitions 011 are provided in the box-shaped case 010 in the vertical or horizontal direction. Floppy disk storage room 01
2. A vertical or horizontal type with... or (b) a floppy disk storage chamber 0 as shown in Figure 8.
12... formed into a staircase shape, etc.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> However, each of the conventional structures described above had the following drawbacks. In other words, in the former case (a), since the floppy disks can be stored individually, they can be stored more orderly and safely than simply stacking floppy disks on top of each other.
In order to clearly sort and classify each floppy disk so that the desired item can be taken out quickly, it is necessary to considerably increase the storage interval, that is, the volume of each storage chamber, which is disadvantageous in terms of space factor. In addition, when taking out or inserting a floppy disk, your hands may come into contact with the adjacent floppy disk, which may easily cause damage or dirt.Furthermore, it is not possible to respond flexibly to the number of floppy disks held, which inevitably results in wasted space. There are drawbacks. In addition, the latter (b) has the advantage that the floppy disks are stacked and stored in a stair-like manner, so that the desired floppy disk can be quickly identified and taken out while maintaining close spacing in the stacking direction. The case as a whole has a large amount of dead space along the direction of the stairs, and the number of sheets that can be stored is small compared to the size of the case.Furthermore, there is a natural limit to the number of sheets that can be stored in terms of the stability of the storage condition. Like the former (a), it lacked flexibility regarding the number of floppy disks owned.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the present invention has been developed to create a floppy disk that corresponds to the number of floppy disks owned and that can be kept neatly and safely within the minimum space, and that is also very convenient to identify and take out. The purpose is to provide a disk storage case.

The floppy disk storage case according to the present invention was devised to achieve the above object. A circular bottomed cylindrical projection is integrally projected to form a circular space with a downward opening on its lower side, and is stacked on the bottom plate of this bottomed cylindrical projection and fitted into the circular space of the upper mounting plate. A protrusion and an annular receiving part that abuts the lower surface of the upper mounting plate are formed, and at least one pair of opposing side edges of the floppy disk mounting plate are provided with a projection located above and below in a stacked state. This device is characterized by a structure in which side plates having a relatively wide vertical width are arranged upright and connected so that the objects that are connected to each other touch or are very close to each other.

<Function> The floppy disk storage case according to the present invention having the above-described characteristic structure can be operated by placing the floppy disk on the mounting plate so that the center hole of the floppy disk fits into the bottomed cylindrical projection. , the floppy disk is housed in the case in a position-controlled manner. In this way, a plurality of storage cases containing floppy disks can be stored in such a way that the protrusion at the center of the lower case mounting plate fits into the circular space on the upper case mounting plate, and the lower surface of the upper case mounting plate A stacking type storage structure can be obtained by stacking the lower case in the vertical direction so that the annular receiving part of the lower case is in contact with the lower case. In this stacking-type storage position, for example, index color labels can be inserted and exchanged freely on the outer surface of the side panel with a relatively wide vertical width.
By pasting index labels with various data such as file names, you can conveniently sort and organize each floppy index.
By rotating the bottomed cylindrical projection around its axis, the data index can be easily distinguished from any angle within the entire 360 degree range.

<Example> An example of the present invention will be described below in detail based on the drawings.

1 to 3, reference numeral 1 denotes a floppy disk mounting plate that is rectangular in plan view, and in the center thereof is a cylindrical plate that is circular in plan view and has a bottom, into which the center hole a of the floppy disk FD fits. A protrusion 2 is integrally formed to protrude upward to form a circular space 3 with a downward opening on its lower side. 2a is the circular space 3 in the upper mounting plate 1 in the stacked state.
the bottom plate 2 of the bottomed cylindrical projection 2 so as to fit therein;
It is a tapered cylindrical protrusion that integrally protrudes concentrically upward from A, and the annular bottom plate 2A portion located on the outside of this protrusion 2a is in contact with the lower surface of the upper mounting plate 1. formed in the corresponding receiving part 2b,
Further, substantially spherical small projections 2c are integrally formed on the upper surface of the annular receiving portion 2b at appropriate intervals in the circumferential direction. Reference numerals 4 and 4 refer to side plates having an approximately-shaped cross section that stand upright on opposite sides of the floppy disk mounting plate 1, and are placed on the receiving portions 2b, actually on the small protrusions 2c. side plates 4 located above and below in a stacked state in contact with the lower surface of the upper mounting plate 1;
The side plates 4, 4 are relatively wide vertically so that they are in contact with each other or very close to each other, and
Index labels 5, 5 are attached to the outer surface of 4. Reference numerals 6 and 6 designate side plates having a small vertical width and connected to the other pair of opposite sides of the floppy disk mounting plate 1. The entire case with the above configuration
Molded from ABS resin to prevent static electricity. Reference numeral 7 in the figure indicates a hole formed in the mounting plate 1, through which the floppy disk FD can be easily removed by pushing it up from the back side of the case with your fingers.

Figures 4 and 5 show storage case C with the above configuration.
are stacked vertically, and in this stacked state, each case C has the bottomed cylindrical projection 2.
The index label 5, 5 can be freely rotated over a range of 360 degrees around the axis of the
can be read from any direction.

Furthermore, by covering a plurality of storage cases C as one unit with a cover case 8 made of ABS resin or acrylic resin, storage can be carried out more effectively in terms of dust and moisture resistance. be.

Also, the small protrusion 2c mentioned above may be omitted, but
When this is provided, the case C rotates smoothly and is even easier to use.

<Effects of the invention> As can be understood from the detailed description above, when using the floppy disk storage case according to the present invention, (1) floppy disks are stored one by one, and the disk storage state Since it is a stacking type that can be stacked vertically, it is possible to store it safely without causing damage or stains, and by increasing the number of cases according to the number of floppy disks you own, you can save storage space. This eliminates waste and allows storage to always take up the minimum amount of space regardless of the number of items stored.

(2) Since the number of stacked sheets can be considerably increased, storage efficiency is high.

(3) The classification, item, file name, etc. can be freely displayed on each case itself, and the cases can be stacked with the display surface exposed, and each case can be rotated around the vertical axis in the stacked state. A desired floppy disk can be quickly identified and taken out.

(4) Since it has a simple appearance and has a neat design, it can be used in offices etc. without sacrificing its aesthetic appearance.

This has resulted in practical effects such as:
