Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a storage case for storing and storing a tape cassette wound with a tape such as a magnetic tape.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, tape cassettes have been handled by being put in a storage case for sale and storage. As this case, a rectangular case housing the magnetic tape cassette is transparent and a lid is openably opened and closed by a pivoting part. The case is used and the index card is used by folding it. A pair of reel hub rotation stopping pieces are provided on the upper plate of the case lid, and three side walls surrounding the upper plate are provided with restricting ribs for preventing movement of the tape cassette. A pocket for holding the front part of the tape cassette with a trapezoidal ridge (head house) is formed on the tape cassette, and the bottom plate is often extended.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the conventional storage case, the thickness of the case is designed to match the head house of the tape cassette, so the size in the thickness direction is large. There was a limit to downsizing as the size increased. The present invention is intended to properly eliminate these drawbacks of the related art, and can securely hold the tape cassette in the case body without rattling and to prevent damage to the tape cassette or tape winding when carrying it around. The purpose is to make the entire case compact and easy to handle by eliminating the risk of misalignment, shortening the longitudinal dimension and thickness direction of the case.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a tape cassette storage case in which a lid is openably and closably provided on a case body forming a storage portion of a tape cassette, and a side wall of the tape cassette is provided on a side wall of the case body of the storage portion. In addition to providing a notch portion into which the protruding finger hook portion is fitted, a support protrusion piece is disposed oppositely above the inside of the side wall of the case body so as not to hit the trapezoidal ridge portion of the tape cassette.

[0005]

[Action]

In the case of the present invention, when the magnetic tape cassette A is housed in the case body 1 and the lid 3 is closed, the hub rotation preventing projections 9 and 9 are fitted in the hub hole B of the tape cassette A and the position thereof is regulated. Can hold Bottom wall push the front end portion of the tape cassette A in this case while fitting the finger rest C which are projected on the side surface of the tape cassette A in the notch portions 4 in the side wall 1 _2, 1 ₂ of the case body 1 When put the sandwich is pressurized et lid 3 by the supporting protrusion piece 1 ₄ projecting from both side walls on opposite sides, the head house D of the tape cassette is integrated into the concave 5, hub rotation preventing protrusion 9, 9 tape It can be fitted into the hub hole B of the cassette A to reliably prevent the hub from rotating, and can be housed in the case without backlash.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. A tape cassette storage comprising a case main body 1 having a storage portion for a tape cassette A and a lid body 3 pivotably attached by a pivot attachment portion 2. A case, which is the side wall 3 of the lid 3.₂Is the case body side wall 1 ₂ Case body side wall 1 in which the lid body 3 is connected by a pivotal attachment portion 2₂Further, the tape cassette storage case is provided with a notch 4 into which the finger hooking portion C protruding from the side surface of the tape cassette stored in the case is fitted.

[0007] In this case, as the case body 1, a bottom wall 1 ₁ to accommodate the front portion of the tape cassette A, a pair of the side walls 1 _2, 1 _2, and the back wall 1 _3, wherein the bottom wall A housing portion is formed by a pair of support projecting pieces 1 ₄ and 1 ₄ projecting from both side walls on the surface facing 1 ₁ , and the side wall 1 _{2 of the} case body 1 and the side wall 1 are provided. A convex portion 6 and a concave portion 7 for engagement are provided correspondingly to the side wall 3 ₂ of the lid body 3 overlapping with ₂ . Furthermore, the support protrusion 1 ₄ is opposed deployed in the case body side wall 1 ₂ inner upward position not exposed to the head house D as the trapezoidal elevations of the tape cassette, and the notch on 4, wherein the finger rest It is provided in the case body side wall 1 ₂ in a substantially U-shape corresponding to the outer shape of C and parallel to the bottom wall of the case body. Furthermore wherein the bottom wall 1 ₁ and the upper wall 3 ₁ of the inner surface of the case body 1 and the lid 3 has a concave portion 5, 5 ₁ capable of fitting the head house D of the tape cassette A, the tape cassette A is It is designed so that it can be stored in the case without rattling. Furthermore, the total width a of the lid 3 and the total width b of the case body 1, is in the relationship with the inner dimension full width c is a>b> c between the side walls 1 ₂ of the inner surface, the inner dimensions width c is The tape cassette A is designed to be close to the entire width of the tape cassette A excluding the finger hook portion, and the finger hook portion C of the case A is fitted into the notch 4 to realize a compact case as a whole.

Since the case body 1 and the lid body 3 are in a relative relationship with each other, the case body may be a lid body and the lid body may be a case body in the opposite relationship to the previous example. . Moreover, the the outer surface of the front wall 3 ₃ of the cover 3 provided with a chamfered portion 8 for finger placement, Yes and easy to the opening operation of the lid 3, protruding ribs 10 for regulating the thickness direction Moreover, when an index card (not shown) is inserted into the case main body 1 by folding it, it is preferable that the locking protrusions 11 that are locked are provided at the corners. The cover 3 is not limited to the entire transparent part, and the distribution of the opaque part and the transparent part can be selected to provide a good design case.

[0009]

[Effect of the device]

 According to the present invention, a notch is formed on the side wall of the case body of the storage part of the tape cassette to insert a finger hook protruding from the side surface of the tape cassette, and the trapezoidal ridge of the tape cassette is located above the side wall of the case body. By arranging the support protrusions to face each other at a position where they do not hit, the finger hooks of the tape cassette are fitted and retained in the notches, so there is little rattling, and the hub rotation prevention position is actual. There is no risk of damage to the tape cassette or misalignment of the tape when carrying it while carrying it around, and the size of the case in the longitudinal direction and the dimension in the thickness direction can be shortened to make the case as a whole compact.
