Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a floppy disk storage body including a floppy disk case and an outer box for housing a plurality of floppy disks.

[Conventional technology]

Usually, a floppy disk is housed in a hard plastic floppy disk case consisting of a box and a lid screwed to the box, and a plurality of such floppy disk cases are housed in an outer box. The reason why the floppy disk case and the outer box are used is to prevent the floppy disk from being bent when taken out and to prevent dust when not used, that is, when stored.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

Since it itself uses a floppy disk case in which a floppy disk is hermetically housed and an outer box in combination, it is completely dustproof, but when removing the floppy disk, the desired floppy disk case should be temporarily removed from the outer box. The case has to be opened, and the handling is complicated.

The present invention provides a floppy disk storage body in which the floppy disk case can be easily taken out from the floppy disk case without bending the floppy disk case without bending the floppy disk case completely out of the outer box, and the dust protection during storage is perfect. With the goal.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

According to the present invention, the above object is a container comprising a plastic floppy disk case for accommodating individual floppy disks and an outer box for accommodating a plurality of the floppy disk cases. , A rectangular box part having an open upper part, a rear plate extending vertically upward including one side surface of the rectangular box part, and a U-shaped cross-section part including a horizontal plate and both vertical end face plates on the front side of the upper part of the rear plate. And a cover portion in which the outer width of both end face plates is formed to be slightly larger than the outer width of both end faces of the rectangular box portion,
A solution is provided for a floppy disk storage body in which upper portions of the outer box are opened and square notches are formed in upper portions of both end surfaces of the cover portion of the floppy disk case so as to fit with the vertical end surface plates.

[Action]

When the plurality of floppy disk cases 1 formed as described above are housed in the outer box 6, the cover 4 of each floppy disk case is inserted from the rectangular notches 7 on both end faces of the upper part of the outer box.
Both vertical end plates 4B are exposed (Fig. 2). When the desired floppy disk case is lifted up halfway and the back plate is bent backward, the floppy disk 8 housed inside
Can be easily taken out in the vertical direction (Fig. 1). After use, the floppy disk case that has been lifted is naturally dropped into the outer box, and the cover of the floppy disk disk case is guided by the adjacent front and rear floppy disk cases or the adjacent floppy disk case and the side plate of the outer box. To return to the state of FIG.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a floppy disk case according to the present invention is housed in an outer box and a desired floppy disk is taken out, FIG. 2 is an end view of FIG. 1, and FIG. FIG. 4 is an end view of the shown floppy disk case, FIG. 4 is a rear view of FIG. 3, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the floppy disk case.

Each floppy disk case 1 (Fig. 5) is integrally formed of hard plastic and includes a rectangular box part 2 with an open top and one side surface of the rectangular box part 2 on the back plate side (right side in Fig. 3). And a cover portion 4 formed on the upper front side (left side in FIG. 3) of the rear plate 3. This cover portion 4 is formed by a horizontal plate 4A bent at a right angle from the upper edge of the rear face portion 3 to the front side, and both vertical end face plates 4B hanging from both ends of the horizontal plate 4A and connected to the upper portion of the rear face plate 3. It has a U-shaped cross section. The outer box of both vertical end face plates 4B is formed to be larger than the outer width of both end faces of the rectangular box portion 2 by, for example, about twice the plate thickness of the floppy disk case 1. In this state, since the upper front surface and a part of the side surface of the floppy disk case 1 are open, they do not serve as dustproof.

An outer box 6 for accommodating a plurality of floppy disk cases 1 (five in this embodiment) is made of hard plastic or hard paper and has an open upper part. A rectangular notch 7 is formed so that both end face plates 4 of the cover portion 4 fit perfectly when accommodated. Therefore, when the floppy disk 1 is accommodated in the outer box 6, the vertical end face plate 4B of each floppy disk is exposed through the notch 7 and can be gripped from the outside.

As shown in FIG. 2, of the floppy disk cases 1 housed in the outer case 6, both vertical end plates 4B of the desired floppy disk case are sandwiched with fingers and the back plate 3 is bent backward. And the stored floppy disk 8
Can be easily pulled out in the vertical direction.

As indicated by a circle 5 in FIG. 3, if a weakening notch is provided at the boundary between the rectangular box portion 2 and the back plate 3, the back plate 3 can be easily bent, which is convenient.

[Effect of device]

The present invention is configured as described above, and when the back plate is bent backward with the floppy disk case partially removed from the outer box, the position of the cover portion can be avoided from directly above the floppy disk case. It is convenient that you can take out the floppy disk from the case without completely removing it from the outer box. Further, when the floppy disk cases are housed in the outer box, the open portions of the individual floppy disk cases are completely sealed by the adjacent floppy disk cases or the outer side plates, so there is no problem in terms of dust protection.
