Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] [Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to an adapter for a tape cassette storage case for storing a tape cassette that stores magnetic tape as a recording medium used in a video tape recorder, etc., and particularly relates to an adapter for a tape cassette storage case that is approximately 1/2 the size of a standard type tape cassette. The present invention relates to an adapter for storing only a small tape cassette of size N (N is a natural number of 2 or more) in a standard type tape cassette storage case.

[Conventional technology]

In order to facilitate outdoor recording work using a video tape recorder, it is important that the video tape recorder be small. However, if the tape cassette loaded into the video tape recorder is the same size as a so-called standard type, there are restrictions on miniaturization of the video tape recorder itself, so the tape cassette itself must also be small. is important. From this perspective, the applicant, etc.
In addition to standard-sized tape cassettes used in stationary, so-called standard-sized video tape recorders, there are also tape cassettes smaller than the standard type used in small-sized video tape recorders, such as standard-type tape cassettes. A small tape cassette approximately 1/N (N is a natural number of 2 or more) the size of the tape cassette of
No. 167532 = Utility Model Publication No. 57-91162). In addition, a special type of cassette storage case for such small tape cassettes was proposed by the applicant (Utility Application No. 122946/1986 = Utility Model Application No. 30974/1989).

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, when the standard type tape cassettes D and the small tape cassettes C are arranged on the same display shelf, their heights become uneven, as shown in Figure 2, and the aesthetics of the arrangement are affected. There is a big problem above. In Fig. 2, a standard type tape cassette D is displayed in a standard type storage case A, and a small tape cassette C is displayed in a storage case E exclusively for this tape cassette. This shows the case where it is displayed. In addition, as mentioned above, not only is there an aesthetic problem due to uneven heights, but it also creates unusable space.
There are problems such as the number of tape cassettes that can be stored is not large, and that alone requires a large space on the display shelf. Furthermore, since a dedicated storage case is required for each type of tape cassette, storage cases are produced in small quantities with a wide variety of products, and there are problems such as the difficulty of reducing the cost of storage cases through mass production. However, until now, little attention has been paid to countermeasures against such problems. Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the conventional technology, and provides a tape cassette storage case that prevents the formation of irregularities when organizing tape cassettes, allows neat organization, and allows tape cassettes to be stored and organized with high efficiency. The purpose is to provide an adapter for

[Means to solve problems]

This adapter has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped outer shape with one side open, surrounded by an upper surface, a lower surface, a right side, a left side, and a rear surface, and further has (N-1) The internal space of the substantially rectangular parallelepiped is partitioned into N mounting portions of substantially the same size by internal partition walls (N is a natural number of 2 or more),
A small tape cassette approximately 1/N the size of a standard type tape cassette is attached to each of the N attachment sections, and a maximum of N of the small tape cassettes can be attached to the N attachment sections. To provide an adapter for a tape cassette storage case, which is characterized in that it can be attached to a tape cassette storage case.

[Effect]

According to the present invention, the top part, the bottom part of the adapter,
The right side, left side, rear side, and internal partition wall allow the small tape cassette to be positioned without wobbling, and the adapter can be stored almost closely in the storage case that stores standard tape cassettes.
If this adapter is used when organizing small tape cassettes, the unevenness shown in FIG. 2, for example, will not be formed, and the small tape cassettes can be neatly organized, and the small tape cassettes can be stored and organized with high efficiency.

【Example】

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the tape cassette storage case adapter according to the present invention. In the figure, A is a storage case that stores standard type tape cassettes, and this storage case A is
It has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped external shape with one side open and surrounded by five walls: an upper surface part 1, a lower surface part 2, a right side part 3, a left side part 4, and a rear surface part 5. Notches 6 and 7 are formed at the opening side end. Reference numeral B designates a case body adapter having an external shape that allows it to be stored substantially closely in the storage case A.
0, it has an approximately rectangular parallelepiped external shape surrounded by walls on five sides, the left side part 11 and the rear face part 12, and one side is an opening, and two internal partition walls 13 and 14 define the internal space of the approximately rectangular parallelepiped. is partitioned into three mounting portions 18, 18, 18 of approximately the same size. Then, the three mounting parts 18 of this adapter B,
A small tape cassette approximately 1/3 the size of a standard type tape cassette is installed in each mounting section of 18 and 18.
For example, it is constructed so that compact type video tape cassettes C can be loaded without any wobbling, and up to three compact type video tape cassettes C can be loaded into the three mounting portions 18, 18, 18. In addition, 15, 16, 17 are internal partition walls 13, 1
This is a notch formed at the opening side end of the upper surface part 8 and the lower surface part 9 corresponding to each mounting part 18 partitioned by 4, and these notches 15, 16, 1
