Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a portable audio cassette tape storage case.

0002

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as a storage case for cassette tapes suitable for this type of portability, the Jitsukai Hei 1 -A case for storing multiple cassette tapes as shown in No. 110184, and a case for storing multiple cassette tapes There was a case shown in No. 63-166982 in which the lid was securely locked.

0003 In the former case, the lid is attached to both sides of the case body with partition walls via flexible hinges. The bodies are connected, and cassette tapes can be stored on each side of the partition wall. Was. In addition, the latter has a case body and a lid that are integrally connected by a hinge so that they can be opened and closed. In addition to providing an engaging recess with a protruding lock piece on one of the tips, this A lock piece is provided protruding from the other end opposite to the lock piece, and a recess is provided with which the lock piece engages. It consists of a curved protruding lock operation member that opens the lid by engaging the lock pieces. When the lock is locked and released, the lock operation member is bent inward to prevent the upper The lock piece was disengaged.

0004

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

In the conventional cassette tape storage case mentioned above, the former first stores the cassette tape. You can store two volumes together and carry them with you, but there is something between the stored cassette tape and the case. has a certain amount of clearance, so if you are carrying it around or placing it in a car that is subject to vibrations, If this happens, the cassette tape may rattle internally, make noise, or be damaged internally due to impact such as being dropped. However, there was a problem in that the cassette tapes in some parts could be damaged.

[0005] In addition, in the latter case, the lid body is locked so that it cannot be opened due to the engagement of the lock piece, but it is impossible to remove the engagement. In order to do so, the lock operating member must be bent inward and elastically deformed, which may be caused by poor material quality. In some cases, the lock operation member may lose its elasticity due to aging or aging. There was a problem in that there was a risk of breakage.

[0006] This invention solves the above conventional problems and makes cassette tapes compact and easy to use. It can be stored without sagging, and the locking mechanism does not break when carrying it without accidentally opening the lid. This provides a storage case for cassette tapes.

[0007]

[Means to solve the problem]

In this invention, the case has multiple cassette tape storage compartments, and each An inner frame having an elastic piece protruding inward was fitted into the cassette tape storage section of the cassette tape storage section. Also, the rear An elastic locking piece is provided on one side of the case body and the lid, which are pivotally connected, and the other side is provided with an elastic locking piece. An engagement recess with which the stopper engages is provided, and a release button with a pressing piece protruding inward is provided in the engagement recess. By pivoting, the above-mentioned conventional problems were solved.

[0008]

[Effect]

The elastic piece of the inner frame that fits into the cassette tape storage section of the case will hold the stored cassette tape. The cassette tape comes into contact with the outside of the cassette tape and holds the cassette tape immovably and compressively. Also, the engagement recess The release button pivotally attached to the button rotates when pressed, and the inner pressing piece releases the lid. This is to push up the locked elastic locking piece and release the engagement.

【Example】

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the embodiment, and FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view with the lid closed. illustration As mentioned above, the storage case of the present invention has a recessed cassette tape storage section 1' on the top surface. A case body 1 and a lid body 2 with a similar cassette tape storage area 2' recessed on the back side are assembled together. are rotatably connected at the rear of the cassette tape storage sections 1' and 2'. A pair of reel locking pieces 5, 5 are protruded from respective predetermined positions, and an elastic An inner frame 3 with pieces 3' projecting inward is fitted. Then, the open end on the back side of the lid body 2 An elastic locking piece 6 is protruded from the side, and the elastic locking piece 6 enters into the front of the case body 1. An engagement recess 7 is provided. A pressing piece 4' is provided inwardly protruding from the engaging recess 7. A release button 4 is rotatably attached around a pivot point a. In addition, the above elastic locking The piece 6 and the engagement recess 7 are respectively provided with protrusions 6' and 7' that engage with each other. Ru.

0010 In the figure, the reference numeral 2" is a mounting protrusion protruding from the rear of the lid 2, and 1" is the mounting protrusion provided on the rear of the lid 2. A mounting recess formed in the rear of the base body 1, b indicates a pivot point between the two. Also, 3” is a cassette tape (not shown) that is formed by cutting out a predetermined position on the inner circumference of the inner frame 3. Shows the finger rest for use.

[0011] The portable cassette tape storage case of the present invention having the above configuration includes a case body 1 Insert a cassette tape (not shown) into the cassette tape storage areas 1' and 2' of the lid body 2. When the cassette tape is inserted, the elastic piece 3' of the inner frame 3 comes into pressure contact with the side surface of the cassette tape. It is held more elastically without wobbling. Then, rotate the lid body 2, and When the end is pressed toward the case body 1 side, the elastic locking piece 6 protruding from the back side will lock into the case body 1. It enters the engagement recess 7 of the main body 1, and the protrusion 6' passes over the protrusion 7' in the engagement recess 7. 2, and the lid 2 is locked so that it cannot be opened, as shown in FIG. Also, open the lid 2. To release the button, press the release button 4 attached to the front of the case body 1, as indicated by the arrow in Figure 2. As a result, the release button 4 rotates around the pivot point a, and the release button 4 rotates inward. By pushing up the elastic locking piece 6, the pressing piece 4' protruding from the protrusion 7' The lid body 2 is rotated about the pivot point b and released. It is something.

0012 In this example, the cassette tape storage section is provided in the case body and the lid, and the cassette tape storage section is provided in the case body and the lid body. We have shown an example in which the cut tapes are stored one on top of the other, but it is not possible to have a storage section on the main body side. They may be placed side by side to store cassette tapes side by side, and the storage section may also be It suffices if there are more than one storage section, and the location and number of storage sections are limited to the illustrated embodiment. It's not.

[0013]

[Effect of the idea]

As described above, the portable cassette tape storage case of the present invention can store multiple cassettes. The tape is elastically stored and held, making it convenient to carry without adding bulk. The cassette tape does not make unpleasant noises due to heat, and is resistant to shocks such as drops. group is effectively protected. In addition, with this invention, the lid body is designed to prevent it from being opened accidentally. It is securely locked, and can be released by simply pushing in one side of the operation button and rotating it. It is easy to operate and does not force elastic deformation of the member as in the conventional method. Since it is not made of metal, it operates reliably without fear of breakage and is highly durable. It produces excellent effects not seen before.
