[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an improvement of a storage container for an information recording card used in electric entertainment equipment and the like.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Recently, information recording cards are used in electric entertainment equipment and the like. This information recording card is made of plastic or the like, has a recording element for recording information therein, and has an output terminal portion for outputting the recording information of the recording element at the end of one surface. Then, when the output terminal side of the information recording card is inserted into the device, the device reads the information and the operation is performed. When this information recording card is not used, it is placed in a storage container etc. to protect the output terminal from external dust and dirt and external impact.

As an example of this type of storage container, a container as shown in FIG. 7 is generally known. Reference numeral 1 denotes a storage container. The storage container 1 is composed of a transparent upper lid 1a and a colored lower lid 1b, and one end of the lower lid 1b is rotatably supported by one end of the upper lid 1a.

A recess 2 is formed in the lower lid 1b, L-shaped projections 3a to 3d are respectively formed to project from the bottom thereof, and a space 4 is defined within the projections 3a to 3d. The space between the protrusions 3a to 3d is set so that the space 4 is substantially the same as the outer shape of the protector 6 described later.

When the information recording card 5 is stored in the storage container 1, the information recording card 5 is first put in an antistatic vinyl case H (indicated by a chain double-dashed line) and the information is recorded in the space portion. 4, the protector 6 made of sponge or the like is positioned on the vinyl case H to further protect the output terminal portion 5a of the information recording card 5, and then the upper lid 1a is closed to the lower lid 1b side.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the conventional storage container 1 has the following problems.

First, in the storage container 1, if the heights of the protrusions 3 a to 3 d are not appropriate, the information recording card 5 put in the vinyl case H is apt to rattle in the space 4 even if there is the protector 6. The information recording card 5 is separated from the storage position due to vibration during transportation, and the original purpose of storing the information recording card 5 becomes impossible. Moreover, when the information recording card 5 pops out of the vinyl case H, the output terminal portion 5a may be damaged.

Further, when the storage container 1 is closed, a gap is easily formed between the upper lid 1a and the lower lid 1b. Therefore, when the upper lid 1a is pressed toward the lower lid 1b, the upper lid 1a is easily deformed and easily deformed. May be damaged.

Further, it is necessary to separately use the protector 6 when the information recording card 5 is stored, which is very troublesome.

[0010]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and includes a lower lid in which a recess is formed, an upper lid that can be opened and closed with respect to the lower lid, and a tray positioned in the recess. In this information recording card storage container, a rectangular storage recess is formed so that a substantially rectangular vinyl case storing the information recording card can be located in the tray, and one side surface of the storage recess is continuous from the bottom surface to the top surface. The first and second inclined surfaces are provided, and a locking pin that locks a hole formed on one side of the vinyl case is erected on the first inclined surface, while the opposite side of the vinyl case is The present invention provides an information recording card storage container, characterized in that a locking groove for locking is formed on the opposite side surface of the storage recess.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a storage container according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing an information recording card and a vinyl case, and FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) are cross-sectional views taken along aa line in FIG. FIG. 4 is a side view showing the storage state of the information recording cards, FIG. 5 is a side view showing the state where the trays are stacked, and FIG. 6 is a view showing the storage container of another embodiment. Information recording cards having the same components as those of the conventional example are designated by the same reference numerals.

The storage container (information recording card storage container) 10 shown in FIG. 1 is roughly composed of three constituent parts. As its constitution, a lower lid 11a having a recess 11a1 formed therein, an upper lid 11b which can be opened and closed with respect to the lower lid 11a around a pivot, and a tray 12 fitted in the concave portion 11a1 of the lower lid 11a. Have. Here, well-known transparent plastic cases for CDs (compact discs) may be used for the lower lid 11a and the upper lid 11b.

As shown in FIG. 2, the information recording card 5 is inserted into the substantially rectangular antistatic vinyl case 20 through the opening 21 and then stored in the storage container 10. The tongue piece 22 on one side of the vinyl case 20 adjacent to the opening 21 is formed with long holes (holes) 22a, 22b in the longitudinal direction.

A rectangular storage recess 12 a is formed in the center of the upper surface of the tray 12, and a vinyl case 20 containing an information recording card 5 is placed therein. As shown in conjunction with FIG. 3 (a), one side surface of the storage recess 12a is first and second inclined surfaces 13a and 13b from the bottom surface to the top surface. Since the first inclined surface 13a has a larger inclination than the second inclined surface 13b, when the information recording card 5 shown in FIG. 4 is stored, the tongue piece 22 of the vinyl case 20 has the first inclined surface 13a. A gap S is formed between the edge of the tongue piece 22 and the second inclined surface 13b by tilting along the surface 13a. Further, locking pins 14a, 14b are erected substantially vertically on the first inclined surface 13a, and the long holes 22a, 22b of the vinyl case 20 are exposed to these, respectively. Each of the locking pins 14a and 14b has a shape in which the root is constricted rather than the tip thereof, and locks the short diameter d of the long holes 22a and 22b of the vinyl case 20 as shown in FIG. 3 (b). If the diameters D of the constricted portions of the pins 14a and 14b are made substantially the same, the elongated holes 22a and 22b of the vinyl case 20 can be engaged with the engaging pins 14a and 14b, respectively, while expanding. On the other hand, a locking groove 15 is formed on the opposite side surface of the storage recess 12a opposite to the one side surface on which the first and second inclined surfaces 13a and 13b are provided (see FIG. 4).

In the housed state of the information recording card 5 shown in FIG. 4, one side of the vinyl case 20 in which the information recording card 5 is housed and its opposite side are the locking pins 14a, 14b and the engaging portions provided in the housing recess 12a. Each of them is locked by the stop groove 15. For this reason, the vinyl case 20 containing the information recording card 5 is firmly fixed to the tray 12, and the vinyl case 20 does not separate from the storage position due to vibration or the like during transportation. Further, even if the information recording card 5 is about to pop out from the vinyl case 20, the locking pins 14a and 14b come into contact with the information recording card 5 and the operation is restricted. As a result, there is no risk that the information recording card 5 will accidentally jump out of the vinyl case 20 and damage the output terminal portion 5a. Further, since a gap S is formed between the edge of the tongue piece 22 of the vinyl case 20 and the second inclined surface 13b, it becomes easy to take out the vinyl case 20 containing the information recording card 5 from the storage recess 12a. ..

Further, since the tray 12 is positioned in the recess 11a1 of the lower lid 11a, even if the upper lid 11b is pressed toward the lower lid 11a, the upper lid 11b abuts the upper surface of the tray 12 to prevent its deformation. Therefore, there is no risk of damaging the upper lid unlike the conventional example.

Moreover, since it is not necessary to use the protector 6 as in the conventional example, the work for accommodating the information recording card 5 is simplified.

When the well-known transparent plastic for CD is used for the upper lid 11b and the lower lid 11a, even if they are accidentally damaged, there is an advantage that the user can easily obtain the same one.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3 (a), the height of the locking pins 14 a, 14 b is made lower than the upper surface of the tray 12 to stack a plurality of trays 12 as shown in FIG. Therefore, there is an advantage that workability at the time of assembling the storage container 10 at the time of manufacturing is improved.

In order to facilitate the molding of the tray 12, as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), holes 16a and 16b are formed in the first inclined surface 13a around the locking pins 14a and 14b. Each may be formed. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a hole 16c may be formed at a position close to the locking groove 15 of the tray 12.

Next, the storage container 100 shown in FIG. 6 has two lower lids 11a pivotably supported on both sides of the inner lid 11c. In this storage container 100, two information recording cards 5 stored in the vinyl case 20 can be stored. Note that R is a spine label, and I and I are cover sheets showing titles.

[Effect of the device]

 From the above description, the information recording card storage container of the present invention has the following effects.

First, since the vinyl case containing the information recording card is firmly fixed to the tray, the vinyl case containing the information recording card does not separate from the storage position due to vibration during transportation and the like. It is possible to reliably store the information recording card. Moreover, there is no risk that the information recording card will pop out of the vinyl case and inadvertently damage the output terminal of the information recording card. Furthermore, since a gap is formed between the edge of the tongue piece of the vinyl case and the second inclined surface, it is easy to take out the vinyl case containing the information recording card from the storage recess.

Further, since the tray is positioned in the concave portion of the lower lid, even if the upper lid is pressed toward the lower lid, the upper lid comes into contact with the upper surface of the tray and its deformation is prevented, so that the upper lid is fixed as in the conventional example. There is no risk of damage.

Further, unlike the conventional example, it is not necessary to use a protector, so that the work of storing the information recording card is simplified.
