Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a stand for supporting and accommodating a case of a recording medium in an upright state, and more particularly to a CD case stand for a plurality of compact disc (hereinafter abbreviated as CD) cases.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A recording medium such as a CD or a cassette tape is generally stored and stored in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped case in order to prevent damage and contamination. Various types of boxes or stands have been proposed for storing a large number of such recording medium cases so that they can be pulled out.

A conventional example of a stand for housing a plurality of recording medium cases in an upright state is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 63-128978. This is because a plurality of supporting members 1 are mounted on a substrate 2, a case is placed on a horizontal surface 3 of the supporting member, and the rear surface and one side surface of the case are respectively supported by a rear plate 4 and a side plate 5 of the supporting member. It is configured to support.

In this recording medium case stand, the support 1 is movable in the lateral direction with respect to the substrate 2.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As recording medium cases, especially CD cases, there are currently available single-sized ones that can store one CD and double-sized ones that can store two, three or four CDs. . The single-size CD case can store one CD in its main body. The double-sized CD case has approximately twice the thickness of the single-sized CD case, can store up to two CDs on both sides of the main body, and is provided on both sides of the main body. Each lid can also store one CD.

Therefore, particularly when a CD case is targeted, it is desirable to provide a case stand that can be commonly used for single size and double size CD cases having different thicknesses as described above.

According to the above-mentioned conventional technique, a double-sized CD case can be accommodated by moving the support in the lateral direction of the substrate so as to make a large space between the support and the adjacent support. it can.

However, it is necessary to provide means for allowing the support to move laterally of the substrate. When providing this means, it is difficult to move the support device if the support device is attached with sufficient strength. Conversely, if the support device is moved smoothly with a small force, the support device is not attached. Since the strength is impaired, it becomes difficult to support a tall CD case.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art and can be commonly used for recording body cases having different thicknesses, particularly single-size and double-size CD cases, and has a simple structure and sufficient strength. The purpose is to provide a recording case stand.

In order to achieve this object, the recording medium case stand according to the present invention comprises a plurality of support walls having different projecting heights and arranged upright at a predetermined interval on the base surface. As a mounting surface, a narrow recording body case can be accommodated in the space between adjacent support walls, and the upper surface of the lower supporting wall is used as a mounting surface, and a wide recording body is placed in the space between the high supporting walls on both sides. It is characterized in that it can accommodate a case.

According to an aspect of the present invention, low support walls and high support walls are provided alternately.

[0012]

[Action]

 A first recording medium case accommodating space is formed between adjacent support walls, and a narrow recording medium case, for example, a single size CD case can be accommodated.

The support wall that is erected on the base surface has a projecting height from the base surface that differs by at least two steps, and the second recording is provided between the high support walls on both sides of the low support wall. A body case storage space is formed, and a wide recording body case, for example, a double size CD case can be accommodated. At this time, the upper surface of the low support wall sandwiched between the high support walls on both sides serves as the mounting surface of the wide recording body case.

[0014]

【Example】

 1 and 2 show an embodiment of a recording medium case storage stand according to the present invention. This embodiment is configured as a CD case storage stand. In particular, eight CDs can be stored in the stocker, and one of them is used together with a CD changer-type player that is configured to be freely detachable like a single mode CD player. It is suitable for storing an empty CD case that accommodates these eight CDs.

The base body 1 made of synthetic resin has a pair of side wall 2 and rear wall 3, and the internal space surrounded by these is divided into four storage chambers 5 a to 5 d by a partition wall 4. The upper surface of the side wall 2 is horizontal in the rear part at the same level as the rear wall 3, but the front part is a downwardly inclined surface 2a. The partition wall 4 is formed at the same level as the side wall 2, and a front portion thereof is formed as a downward slope 4a which is flush with the inclined surface 2a of the side wall 2.

Each of the storage chambers 5 a to 5 d is further divided into two by an intermediate partition wall 6 lower than the partition wall 4, and a total of eight storage chambers 7 a to 7 h are provided. These accommodating chambers are spaces for storing a single-size CD case in an upright state with its title display surface facing the front. Therefore, the width dimension is set to be slightly larger than the width of the CD case. The depth dimension is set to substantially correspond to the length of the side of the CD case where the title is not displayed. When a single-size CD case is stored in these storage chambers, the horizontal surface 1a (FIG. 2) of the base body 1 serves as the mounting surface. The front end portion of the horizontal surface 1a is inclined downward to facilitate the attachment / detachment operation of the single size CD case to / from these storage chambers.

The front surface 1c of the base body 1 is a downward inclined surface integrated with the front end portion of the inclined surface 2a of the side wall 2, and the accommodation chamber numbers (1 to 7 and E) are respectively assigned to the accommodation chambers 7a to 7h. Is displayed. These accommodating chamber numbers correspond to the numbers of the respective CD accommodating stages or trays in the stocker of the aforementioned CD changer type player.

In the CD case storage stand configured as described above, the CD stored in the first stage of the stocker of the CD changer player described above is stored in the storage chamber 7a of the storage chamber number 1. The empty CD case 8a is stored, and similarly, the CDs stored in the second to seventh stages of the stocker are stored in the storage chambers 7b to 7g of the storage chamber numbers 2 to 7. A state in which the CD cases 8b to 8g are stored and the empty CD case 8h containing the CD to be operated in the single mode is stored in the storage chamber 7h of the storage chamber number E is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. ing.

The user can easily confirm the CD currently stored in the player's stocker by referring to the titles and the like displayed on the front surfaces of the CD cases 8a to 8h. For example, when the CD desired to be reproduced is that of the CD case 8a, the accommodation room number may be designated by the player. If none of the CD cases 8a to 8h is desired to be reproduced, pull out the tray of the stage operated in the single mode, replace the CD on the tray with a new CD, and store in the accommodation room number E. An old CD is stored in a CD case 8h in the chamber 7h and stored in a proper place, and a CD case of a new CD is stored in the storage chamber 7h.

To confirm the contents of the CD that is currently being reproduced, refer to the display on the player side and take out the CD case in the storage room with the same number as the storage tray in the stocker of the CD. good.

Although the case of storing a single-size CD case has been described above, it is also possible to store a double-size CD case in the storage stand of this example. In other words, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the storage chambers 5a to 5d having a width dimension about twice as large as the storage chambers 7a to 7h for the single size CD case become the storage chambers for the double size CD case. In this case, the horizontal upper surface of the short intermediate bulkhead 6 serves as the mounting surface of the double-size CD case, and the tall side wall 2 or the bulkhead 4 existing on both sides of the intermediate bulkhead 6 should fall over. Supported without. In FIG. 3, the state in which the double-size CD case 9 is accommodated in the accommodation chamber 5a is shown by a dashed line.

In FIG. 3, the double-sized CD case 9 and the side wall 2 and the partition wall 4 are illustrated with a relatively large spacing, but the thickness of the intermediate partition wall 6 is reduced. This narrows this gap and allows the case to be supported without rattling.

[0023]
