Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a disk storage cabinet in which a large number of disk cases for storing disk-shaped record carriers such as video disks and compact disks are vertically arranged side by side.

〓Summary of the invention〓 In a disk storage cabinet in which a large number of disk cases for storing disk-shaped record carriers are vertically arranged side by side and the lower front end of the case is rotatably supported by a single support shaft, the vertical portion and the perpendicular portion are separated. At least one support fitting is provided between the left and right side plates of the cabinet, the horizontal part having a through hole for pivotally supporting the support shaft fixed to the bottom plate of the cabinet. By supporting the support shaft by the left and right side plates of the cabinet and the support fittings, the central portion of the support shaft is prevented from being bent.

<Conventional technology> Conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5,
A large number of disk cases 1 made of plastic or the like for storing disk-shaped record carriers one by one are vertically arranged in a cabinet 3, and their front lower ends are commonly rotatably supported by a single support shaft 2, and the disks are arranged vertically in a cabinet 3. A disk storage cabinet is known in which a disk case 1 containing a desired disk is rotated to the front of the cabinet 3 (to a position shown by an imaginary line) when taking out a desired disk.

However, when each disk case 1 is rotated, a slight gap is provided under the disk case 1 to prevent it from coming into contact with the bottom plate of the cabinet, and the support shaft 2 has both ends attached to the cabinet 3.
Since it is supported by both side plates of the disk case, there is no problem when the number of disk cases is small, but when the number of disk cases is increased, the center part of the support shaft 2 is bent due to the weight of the disk cases and disks, causing the disk case 1 to become a cabinet. The disadvantage was that it could come into contact with the bottom plate of the

In some cases, a partition plate is provided in the center of the cabinet 3 to support the support shaft 2 in order to prevent the central part of the support shaft 2 from bending; This not only reduces the product value because it is natural and impairs its aesthetic appearance, but also causes problems such as increased materials and difficulty in assembly.

〓Problems to be solved by the invention〓 The purpose of this invention is to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional device, and to create a disk that can prevent the support shaft from bending without damaging the appearance when the number of disk cases is increased. To provide a storage cabinet.

〓Means for solving the problem〓 In order to achieve the above object, the disk storage cabinet of this invention has a number of disk cases each containing a disk-shaped record carrier vertically.
The book is rotatably supported in common by a horizontal support shaft, and consists of a vertical part and a horizontal part connected to the vertical part, and the vertical part has a through hole that pivotally supports the support shaft, and the horizontal part is a cabinet. At least one support metal fitting fixed to the bottom plate of the cabinet is provided between the left and right side plates of the cabinet, and the support shaft is supported by the left and right side plates of the cabinet and the support metal fitting.

(Effect) By doing this, the support shaft is supported not only at both ends but also at the middle, so that there is no bending due to the weight of the disc case and the disc.

〓Example〓 An example of this invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of the disk case assembly assembled into the cabinet, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the support metal part thereof, and FIG. 3 is a right side view showing the support metal fitting assembled into the cabinet. Further, the same reference numerals as in the conventional device in FIGS. 1 to 3 indicate the same members.

The 50 disk cases 1, each containing one disk, are divided into 5 blocks of 10 each for convenient searching, with a small gap 4 between each block so that they can be rotated by a support shaft 2. Supported. A support fitting 5 and three thin washers 6 are interposed around the support shaft 2 in the two gaps 4 in the center, and several (for example, five) washers 6 are placed in the two gaps 4 on both sides. are interposed, and all the gaps 4 are adjusted to be equally spaced.

The support fitting 5 has a through hole 5a that pivotally supports the support shaft 2.
and a vertical portion having a step circle 5b formed by drawing or half punching around the vertical portion, and two female screws 5 for attachment to the bottom plate 3a of the cabinet.
It is composed of a horizontal portion formed by c.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the portion of each disk case 1 through which the support shaft passes, concave and convex fitting portions 1a and 1b are formed coaxially, and this convex rib 1b
A slight gap is formed between the adjacent disc cases to prevent the surfaces of the disc cases from rubbing against each other. However, the washer 6 is installed to prevent the tips of the convex ribs 1b from coming into contact with the support fittings 5. The interval is adjusted by the step circle 5b and the step circle 5b.

When assembling, first place disk case 1 in
After assembling the assembly as shown in the figure, it is fitted into the cabinet 3, and the two support fittings 5 are fitted into the counterbore 3b formed in the bottom plate 3a and fixed with screws 7, and the support shaft 2 is fixed. Attach both ends to both sides of the cabinet using screws, etc.

In the above embodiment, two supporting metal fittings are provided, but the position and number of supporting metal fittings may be changed as appropriate depending on the number of disk cases.

<Effects of the invention> By virtue of the configuration described above, the disk storage cabinet of this invention exhibits the following effects.

Even if the weight of the disk case and disk increases, there is no fear that the support shaft will bend.

Since the support metal fittings are provided in the minute gaps provided between the blocks of the disk case, the support metal fittings are not noticeable, and the appearance is good because the connection between the disk cases is not severed.

Since the support shaft is pivotally supported by the support metal fittings, the support shaft is reliably supported even when the cabinet is in any position other than upright, and there are fewer failures during transportation.

After the support metal fittings are assembled to the disk case assembly, they can be assembled into the cabinet, making the assembly work easy.
