Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Technology] The present invention relates to a novel cassette case holder. More specifically, the present invention relates to a holder that can accommodate a cassette case in a detachable manner while maintaining the lid of the cassette case open and closed, and can be freely attached to a desired location.

[Conventional technology and its problems] In recent years, radio, stereo, television, and other recording,
With the remarkable spread of cassette tapes for recording, traders and consumers are faced with the need to efficiently store, preserve, trade, and use a large number of cassette tapes.

A well-known conventional cassette case holder is a box-shaped, drawer-shaped, or shelf-shaped cassette case in which a certain number of cassette cases are arranged side by side with their upper edges aligned and can be identified and taken out from the open part of the holder. However, it had the following drawbacks when used. In other words, it is not possible to accommodate just one cassette case or any desired number of cassette cases without requiring extra space, and the holder must be at least as deep as the top and bottom widths of the cassette case since the top edge of the cassette case is placed in and out of the cassette case. It is not possible to open the cassette case lid and remove the cassette while it is stored in the holder.A display explaining the contents of the cassette case in detail (written on the inside front of the case)
cannot be read while stored in the holder.
For example, the cassette case holder itself cannot be mounted in any desired location and arrangement.

In order to solve this problem, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 57-152675 discloses that a plurality of cassette cases are housed in a row horizontally with their front faces facing upward, and the individual cassette cases are separated by partition walls, so that each cassette case is
A cassette case holder that can be attached to and detached from each individual case has been proposed. According to this idea, the above ~
Of these, and problems are solvable.

However, other issues remain unresolved.

The present invention has been developed based on the above circumstances, and its purpose is to provide a cassette holder that can overcome the drawbacks of the prior art described above.

[Means for solving problems] The present invention has the following basic configuration.

1. It has a rectangular parallelepiped shape with the front and top surfaces open, and is composed of a back plate, side plates, and a bottom plate. The front ends of the pair of left and right side plates serve as hook-shaped cassette case holding edges, and the center front of the bottom plate has a cassette case holding edge. , has a recess for opening and closing the cassette case lid, the height of the back plate and side plate is approximately 1/2 of the height of the cassette case to be accommodated, and an adhesive holding part is provided on the back side of the back plate. A cassette case holder characterized by having.

The present invention solves all of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional cassette case holder. The present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1A to 1E are five views for explaining the structure of the cassette case holder of the present invention, which are comprised of a front view A, a rear view B, a top view C, a bottom view D, and a right side view E. FIG. 2 is an external view of a cassette case inserted into the cassette case holder of the present invention (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the holder of the present invention).

As is clear from FIGS. 1 and 2, each holder of the present invention can hold one cassette case, and the holder as a whole has a rectangular parallelepiped shape with its front and top surfaces open. Its structure is the back plate 1
Side plates 2 are integrally attached to both left and right sides, and a bottom plate 3 is integrally attached to the bottom side. The front ends of the two left and right side plates (note: the parts in contact with the front opening) are cassette case holding edges that are bent approximately 90 degrees into a hook shape with a width that is approximately 1/2 the thickness of the side plates of the cassette case. 4. Furthermore, a recess 5 is provided at the center front edge of the bottom plate 3, which overlaps with a recess at the center front edge of the bottom plate of the cassette case holder, making it possible to open and close the lid of the cassette case while it is attached to the holder of the present invention. It is configured to be. This recess does not need to be provided, and a cutout may be used instead of the recess.
Next, on the back surface of the back plate 1 of the holder of the present invention, an adhesive holding portion 6 for adhesively fixing the holder to an arbitrary location is provided (FIG. 1B). An adhesive may be applied directly to the holding portion, or a double-sided adhesive tape may be attached. After the application or adhesion, the surface of the holding portion is covered with a protective paper.

[Effects of the invention] As is clear from the above description, the holder of the present invention has a back surface area equivalent to one cassette case, as well as space for vertical movement for inserting and removing the cassette case, and space for opening and closing the lid of the cassette case. It can be attached to any place or article as long as there is space, and it can be easily removed.

As shown in FIG. 2, the cassette case 2 inserted into the holder 1 of the present invention from the open upper surface stops at a position where its bottom plate contacts the inner surface of the bottom plate 3 of the holder, and the front edge hook of the side plate 4 stops. 5, it is held in the holder so that it does not come off to the front. However, since the hook portion 5 overlaps only a part of the thickness of the side plate of the cassette case, there is no problem in opening and closing the lid of the cassette case.

FIG. 3 is a front view showing a state in which the cassette case 2 is attached to the holder 1 of the present invention and the lid 6 of the case is opened 180° in relation to FIG. 2, and the bottom plate of the case is The side plate of the case that overlaps the bottom plate 3 of the holder is in close contact with the inside of the side plate 4 of the holder, and the case is gripped by the holder by the hook portion 5 of the side plate, as shown in FIG. Same as in case. As is obvious from Fig. 3, it is possible to take out the cassette using the lid of the cassette case while it is still attached to the holder of the present invention, but this effect could not be expected with the conventionally known cassette case holder. This effect, together with the above-mentioned effect that the holder of the present invention can be installed freely, significantly expands the range of spatial usage of the holder of the present invention compared to the conventional one. For example, by attaching one or several holders of the present invention to the side panel of a bookshelf, a wall in a room, or any wall in a passenger car, it becomes extremely convenient to use a cassette of one's choice. In addition, at cassette stores, the method of displaying cased cassettes tightly wrapped with transparent film is not limited to the conventional method of displaying cassettes in cassette case holders, but the front side of each cassette case can be displayed directly to customers. The exhibition effect will be significantly improved.

That is, the holder of the present invention can of course be attached to a cassette case that is tightly packaged as described above.

The holder of the present invention provides an extremely convenient means for carrying a desired number of cassette cases. For example, Fig. 4 shows an example in which eight holders of the present invention are attached to the inner surface of a book cover type storage device. Holder 4 is a cassette holder attached to the holder. If the cover is folded at the folding portion 2, it can be carried like a book, and it is extremely convenient to take out individual cassettes. The holder of the present invention can be integrally molded from plastics such as vinyl chloride resin, polystyrene resin, ABS resin, polycarbonate resin, polyolefin resin, phenolic resin, and urea resin. However, it can also be made of metal plates, such as iron plates, aluminum plates, or other materials.
