Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a tape cassette storage case, and more particularly, to a tape cassette storage case that can be easily opened with one hand.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In a general tape cassette storage case C, as shown in FIG. 4 (a), the storage main body 4 has an opening 2 on the rear upper portion 1a of the plate-shaped portion 1 in the front direction 1b of the plate-shaped portion 1. The opening / closing lid 5 is formed by providing a concave portion 3 having a U-shaped cross section and having one side portion of the tape cassette accommodated therein, and as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). It is rotatably supported on both side surfaces 3a, 3a of the concave portion 3 and is formed so as to cover the tape cassette stored and mounted on the plate-shaped portion 1 of the storage main body portion 4. It has face plates 5b and 5c.

In the storage case C as described above, as shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C, the lower end edge 5d of the front plate 5a is provided on the upper surface 1c at the front end of the plate-shaped portion 1. The front surface plate 5a is provided with an inclined surface 9 so that the case C can be easily opened and closed, and the upper surface of the front end of the plate-shaped portion 1 is provided. It is easy to put your finger (or nail) on 1c.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the tape cassette storage case C shown in FIG. 4 is constructed so that it can be opened easily by using both hands, but it is difficult to open it with only one hand. Therefore, the tape can be opened from the case C while gripping the handle in a moving vehicle. It was difficult to remove the cassette.

In addition, since the tape cassette storage case C has a structure in which the stored tape cassette easily slides out of the plate-shaped portion, the tape cassette storage case C can be used with one hand to move the tape cassette from the tape cassette storage case C. There was a high possibility that the tape cassette would slip off when the lid was opened, even if the lid could be opened. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a tape cassette storage case that can be easily opened with one hand when the tape cassette in the case is taken out.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention relates to a storage main body formed by forming a recess on the rear portion of the plate-shaped portion, the recess having an opening in the front direction of the plate-shaped portion and having a U-shaped cross section for storing one side portion of the tape cassette. And a front plate and both side plates that are rotatably supported on both sides of the recess and are formed to cover the tape cassette stored and mounted on the plate-shaped portion of the storage body. In the tape cassette storage case in which the lower end edge of the front plate comes into contact with the upper surface of the front end of the plate-like portion to close the lid, the front plate and the side of the opening / closing lid part are closed. A tape cassette storage characterized in that a corner surface is formed on at least one of the corners connected to the face plate so that a part of the upper surface of the front end of the plate-like portion of the storage main body is exposed when the lid is closed. By providing the case, the above-mentioned purpose was achieved.

[0007]

[Action]

 According to the tape cassette storage case of the present invention, a part of the upper surface of the front end of the plate-shaped portion of the storage main body is exposed at at least one of the corners where the front plate and the side plate of the opening / closing lid are connected. Since a corner surface is formed on the case, when removing the tape cassette from the case, hold the case with one hand and use your fingers to hold part of the upper surface of the front end of the plate-like part. The case can be opened with one hand, and the tape cassette can be taken out with the hand holding the case.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the tape cassette storage case of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the tape cassette storage case of the present invention. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the opened state of the tape cassette storage case of the present invention, and FIG. FIG. 2 (b) is an enlarged perspective view showing a main part of the tape cassette storage case according to the embodiment shown in the closed state.

As shown in FIG. 1, the tape cassette storage case C of this embodiment has an opening 2 in the front upper portion 1a of the plate-like portion 1 in the front direction 1b of the plate-like portion 1 and has a tape cassette An accommodating main body portion 4 formed by providing a concave portion 3 having a U-shaped cross section for accommodating one side portion, and a plate shape of the accommodating portion 4 which is rotatably supported by both side surfaces 3a, 3a of the concave portion 3. It comprises an opening / closing lid 5 having a front plate 5a and both side plates 5b, 5c which is housed on the part 1 and has a lower end edge 5d of the front plate 5a on the upper surface 1c at the front end of the plate-like part 1. It is configured to abut and close the lid.

As shown in FIGS. 2 (a) and 2 (b), the tape cassette storage case C of this embodiment has the front plate 5a and the both side plates 5b, 5c of the opening / closing lid 5. Both of the corners 6 and 6 connected with the corners are corners so that the corner 7 which is a part of the upper surface 1c of the front end of the plate-like portion 1 of the storage body 4 is exposed when the lid is closed. The surfaces 8 and 8 are formed.

Explaining this embodiment further, the corner 7 ′ of the corner 7 of the plate-like portion 1 has a roundness R as shown in FIG. 2B. Further, as shown in FIG. 2B, the corner surface 8 is within a range that does not affect the storage of the cassette so that a finger can smoothly come into contact with the corner surface 8 when the case C is opened. , It is formed on a curved surface that is depressed according to the roundness of the tip of the finger.

In the tape cassette storage case C of the present embodiment configured as described above, the corner surface 8 is formed so that the corner portion 7 of the plate-shaped portion 1 is exposed when the lid is closed. When removing the tape cassette, it is possible to open the case by holding the case C with one hand and hanging the fingers of the hand holding the case C on the corners 7 of the plate-like portion 1. Yes, you can take out the tape cassette with the hand holding the case. Moreover, since the corner surfaces 8 and 8 are formed on both of the continuous corner portions 6 and 6, respectively, even if the case C is gripped by either the left or right hand, the lid opening operation can be similarly performed.

FIG. 3 shows a main part of another embodiment. In this embodiment, substantially the same as the previous embodiment except that the corner surface 8 is not a curved surface but a flat surface. Is configured. Further, such an embodiment also has the same effect as the above embodiment. The tape cassette storage case of the present invention is not limited to the one shown in the above embodiment, and the shape of the corner surface is such that the plate-shaped portion of the storage main body is formed when the case is opened. If the shape is such that a part of the upper surface (corner portion) of the front end of the is hooked with a finger, it may be appropriately changed within a range that does not affect the storage of the cassette.
