Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a video mailing case in which a video cassette tape (hereinafter referred to as a video tape) or a cosmetic box of a video tape can be mailed in a package as it is.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, video tapes are widely used as mass media media. Its applications are expanding, including various advertising media such as video DM, video PR magazines, video magazines, and video catalogs. Recently, it has become more common to package these types of videotapes individually and mail them individually.

A video tape is a hard case such as a hard plastic when the naked tape itself is wrapped and mailed, or when the tape is put in a thin plastic box (referred to as a PP case) and mailed. It is roughly divided into cases such as putting in and mailing. Conventionally, a method of mailing a video tape of this type, a PP case with a tape stored therein, or a hard case with a tape stored therein in a special large-sized cushion envelope was mailed.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the conventional double packaging such as a cushion envelope, the packaging cost is high, and the outer shape is remarkably large and the postage is also high. An increase in the number of items such as DM causes a great loss of cost.

Particularly, in consideration of lightness, it is desirable to use a simple type corresponding to the outer shape of the video tape so that it can be easily stored and held, but a size suitable for the outer shape of the video tape and a PP case. It was very troublesome because we had to prepare a large number of types of mailing cases, one that fits the outer shape and one that fits the outer shape of the hard case.

Here, the VHS (trade name) type video tape is standardized to have a length of 187 mm, a width of 104 mm, and a thickness of 24 mm. The PP case containing this tape had a length of about 190 mm, a width of about 104 mm, and a thickness of about 25 mm, and no size difference was found among manufacturers, but the size of the hard case differs depending on the manufacturer. According to a study by the applicant, the outer shape of the hard case varies depending on the manufacturer in the range of 192 to 210 mm in length, 112 to 129 mm in width, and 28 to 33 mm in thickness. There was no idea to absorb the size difference within these ranges with a small and simple mail case, and no measures were taken.

Moreover, when mailing the video tape itself without using the hard case, it was necessary to consider impact resistance, but no device was shown.

Therefore, the present invention has been further studied in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and a video and a hard case having different dimensions can be easily mailed in a single lightweight case so that the video tape is shock resistant. The purpose is to provide a video mailing case that improves the serviceability.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the video mailing case for solving the above-mentioned problem, one piece of paper material provided with a mailing display field is assembled in a rectangular thin box shape having a frame plate part that conforms to the maximum external dimension of the video cassette tape case, The frame plate is provided with a holder piece that can project inward. The holder piece can be integrally provided via a fold line that can be bent inward downward from the upper edge portion of the frame plate portion, and can be provided on at least two frame plate portions, respectively.

[0010]

[Operation] When the tape itself is pushed into the inside of the case defined by the frame plate, the holder piece is pushed back by a small outer dimension. The tape itself is stored and packaged according to the amount of protrusion of the holder piece without play. When the PP case or hard case is pushed inside the case, the holder pieces are pushed back according to these different external dimensions, and the tape itself is stored and packaged without play.

【Example】

 1 to 5 show an embodiment of the present invention. The video mailing case 1 is assembled in the shape of a rectangular thin box having a cover surface portion 2, a bottom surface portion 3 and frame plate portions 4 to 7 around these portions 2 and 3 made of one sheet of paper material. Three holder pieces 8 to 10 project inside the case from the frame plate portions 4 to 7.

More specifically, the lid surface portion 2 and the bottom surface portion 3 are defined to be slightly larger than the length 1 and the width w of the hard case H having the maximum dimension, and from the outer periphery of the bottom surface portion 3 via a fold line or the like. The frame plate portions 4 to 7 are integrally provided so as to be bendable. The frame plate portions 4 to 7 are provided slightly larger than the thickness t of the hard case H 1.

The opposing frame plate portions 4 and 5 are folded from both sides in the length direction of the bottom face portion 3 to the upper surface side through the fold lines 11 ... And integrally with the other frame plate portions 6 and 7. The hinge portions 12 are connected to each other so as to be freely assembled. The fold line 11 can be provided by scoring or the like. The frame plate portions 4 and 5 extend from both ends of the hinge portions 12 ... via the fold lines 13 ... And a perforation line and a partial cut line 14 are provided in the middle of the hinge portions 12 ... The adjoining one side of the cut line 14 can be bonded to the other frame plate parts 6 and 7 by the bonding part 15. The score line 14 induces an inward bending and a hinge effect.

Holder pieces 8 and 9 are integrally extended to the upper edge portions of the frame plate portions 4 and 5 via a fold line 16. The holder pieces 8 and 9 have substantially the same width as the frame plate portions 4 and 5, and escape portions 17 are cut out at both side edges thereof.

The other frame plate portions 6 and 7 are extended from both sides in the width direction of the bottom surface portion 3 via fold lines 18. A slit 19 can be cut in the center of the fold line 18. A holder piece 10 is integrally extended to the upper edge portion of the frame plate portion 6 through a fold line 20.

Further, the lid surface portion 2 is extended to the upper edge portion of the frame plate portion 7 through a fold line 21, and the cover surface portion 22 and the claw piece 23 form fold lines 24 and 25 from the lid surface portion 2. It has been extended integrally through. A mailing display field 26 is formed on the upper surface side of the lid surface portion 2.

Next, the operation will be described. When not used, as shown in FIG. 3, the bottom plate 3 has a flat plate shape in which the frame plate parts 4, 5 and the holder pieces 8, 9 are folded.

In use, when the frame plates 4 and 5 are raised, the other frame plates 6 and 7 are raised by bending the cut lines 14 of the hinges 12 ... It is composed of a rectangular thin box. The holder pieces 8 to 10 are in a state of being bent from the upper edge portions of the frame plate portions 4 to 7 inside the case in an inclined state. The holder pieces 10 are located at the escapes 217 of the holder pieces 8 and 9 and intersect each other.

When the video tape T is pushed in as it is from the upper surface of the case 1, the tilted holder pieces 8 to 10 function as guides, and the holder pieces 8 to 10 are retracted by the outer dimensions of the video tape T. It is stored while being stored. The video tape T is elastically held from three directions by the amount of inclination projection of the holder pieces 8 to 10. Accordingly, the upper surface 2 is covered on the upper surface of the video tape T, the cover surface 22 is applied to the outer side of the frame plate 6, and the claw piece 23 is inserted into the slit 19 to complete the packaging. Then, or before, fill in the mailing address in the mailing display field 26.

According to this embodiment, the video tape itself is elastically held by the inclination of the holder pieces 8 to 10, and the frame plate portion 7 and the two hinge portions 12 are provided on one side in the width direction of the case. In addition to the end portions being reinforced with one sheet, the end portion is reinforced with the holder piece 10 and the cover surface portion 22 on the other side in the width direction of the case, in addition to the above three sheets 6, 12.

Specifically, the video mailing case 1 could be put to practical use with a length of about 220 mm, a width of about 137 mm, a thickness of about 36 mm, and a paper material thickness of about 1 mm. Therefore, if about 30-minute tapes of about 201 to 213 g are mailed in the video mail case 1, the total weight will be about 215 to 243 g, and the mailing fee of 250 yen can be achieved, which is significantly more efficient than the conventional product.

FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention. When the hard case H having the maximum size in which the video tape T is stored is pushed in, the holder pieces 8 to 10 are inscribed in the frame plate portions 4 to 6 and are stored in a state of being pushed back. Although not shown, when a hard case or a PP case having different small external dimensions is pushed in, the holder pieces 8 to 10 are firmly held in a state where the pushing back amount is small and the inclination angle is small.

In the above embodiment, the case where there are three holder pieces 8 to 10 has been illustrated and described, but even if two holder pieces are provided, the cassette case itself can be protected and different holder shapes can be used.

[0024]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the video mailing case of the present invention, since the holder piece is provided in conformity with the maximum external dimension of the video case, the video tape itself, the PP case, or the hard case having different dimensions is adjusted to these dimensions. Depending on the amount of protrusion of the holder piece, it can be absorbed, and it can be mailed in the smallest and lightest possible state. In particular, when the holder piece is bent inward from the upper edge of the frame plate part, it can be packed without rattling due to the slanted protruding state of the holder piece, and a large-sized envelope with a conventional cushioning material inside. You can easily mail it without using.
