Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a storage case which is made of a flexible paper material such as cardboard and stores a disk type recording medium such as a compact disk.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, as a storage case for expensive and large magnetic recording media such as a compact disc, a thin rigid plastic case having an openable / closable lid having one side pivotally mounted on its upper surface has been mainly used. Paper bags are also used in the department.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Since this rigid plastic case is strong against external force, it is advantageous in that it can store, transport and store magnetic recording media. However, since the plastic case is manufactured by resin molding using a mold, the manufacturing cost is high, and the shape is also restricted because the mold is used. Furthermore, the usage of this plastic case has increased year by year, and many of these cases have been damaged or become unnecessary. In addition, when they are discarded, they are generally incinerated, but when they are burned, they generate high combustion heat and harmful gases, and even if they are disposed of in landfills instead of incineration, they do not decompose by corrosion for a long time. Global environmental problems arise. In addition, since the paper bag used in some cases merely stores the magnetic recording medium in the paper bag, there is a problem that it is not suitable for protecting the magnetic recording medium stored in strength. The present invention has been made to solve these problems. In other words, the present invention focuses on the characteristics that paper-made materials such as cardboard are easy to process and discard, and the disk-like compact disks that can be stored at a low cost by a simple manufacturing process using this material. It is an object of the present invention to provide a disc type recording medium storage case which can sufficiently protect a type recording medium and can easily handle a storage type recording medium.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned object, and is made of a paper material, and is provided with an accommodating portion for accommodating a disk-type recording medium, and a pair of side walls of the accommodating portion facing each other is formed into a bellows shape. The present invention relates to a disc-type recording medium storage case in which a disc-type recording medium can be held by being sandwiched between a pair of bellows-shaped troughs (edge portions). The storage case has a paper material as a mount, the center of which is a disk-type recording medium storage surface, and a pair of bellows-shaped disk-type recording medium support pieces is provided in a portion facing the storage surface. Further, a folding piece is provided on at least one of the pair of parts on the other side of the storage surface. Then, the bellows-shaped disc-type recording medium locking piece is bent to form a pair of bellows facing the side wall of the disc-recording-medium accommodating portion, and the folding piece is bent to cover the other side wall and the upper portion of the disc-type recording-medium accommodating portion. And a lid body that is opened to form a disk-type recording medium storage case. The disc-type recording medium is sandwiched in a state of being floated on the valley surface (edge portion) of the bellows portion, and is stably engaged by the elastic force of the bellows without providing a special stopper. In addition, the bellows can withstand the pressure applied from above and below and vertically and horizontally from the outside, and the disc type recording medium is not damaged. Further, examples of the disc type recording medium include a compact disc, a laser disc, an optical disc and the like. However, it is particularly preferable to use it for compact discs (CD, CD-I, CD-V, etc.) in view of its properties. Examples of the paper material include paperboard, paper, cardboard, carton paper, or a material obtained by sticking or printing thin paper printed on these. There is no particular limit to the number of steps in the bellows, and at the bottom of that step, insert a leaflet explaining or advertising the contents recorded on the recording medium, and insert it in the valley (edge) of the next step. Insert a disc-type recording medium, and hold and hold it vertically and horizontally by the elasticity of the bellows. However, it is desirable to form only one trough for accommodating only one disc as shown in FIG. 2 because the strength of the storage case is significantly increased and the disc is not damaged.

[0005]

[Action]

 In the present invention, a disc-shaped recording medium such as a compact disc is supported in a bellows-like shape by bending a paper material, and the side walls on both sides of the disc-shaped recording medium storage portion are used. It can be formed only by bending, and the manufacturing process is simple. In addition, the storage disk type recording medium is sandwiched between the opposed valley portions (edge portions) in the middle of the pair of bellows-like support pieces and is in a floating state, so that the storage disk type recording medium is provided by the elasticity and cushioning property of the bellows. It is effective in protecting the recording medium. In particular, it is suitable for storing a compact disc, since the bare surface thereof is not damaged during transportation or storage.

【Example】

 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a disk type recording medium storage case according to the present invention. This storage case (1) is a box-shaped case made of a flexible material such as cardboard that stores a recording medium such as a compact disc so as to surround it from the upper and lower sides and side surfaces. A pair of bellows-shaped support pieces (3) and (4) for sandwiching and supporting the side surfaces of the stored items are provided on both left and right sides of the surface (2), and the upper and lower sides cover the stored item storage section (2). Is provided with two lids (5) and (6). Moreover, it is made of a piece of flexible paper material. This storage case can be formed by folding a single piece of flexible paper material having the shape shown in FIG. That is, the center is a rectangular storage surface (4) for storing items, and the rectangular overhanging pieces (9), (10) that form the bellows-shaped support piece from the left and right sides (7), (8) of the storage surface. 3 fold lines (11) to (13) and (14) to (16) are formed on the overhanging pieces (9) and (10), respectively, and from the sides (7) and (8). A bellows-like support that is sequentially bent inward and outward in the order of valleys (7), (8), peaks (11), (14), valleys (12), (15), peaks (13), (16). Form pieces (3) and (4) and start up. Further, projecting pieces (5) and (6) that form a lid are provided from the other two sides (17) and (18), and folds (19) and (6) are formed in the middle of these projecting pieces (5) and (6). (20) is formed, the upper and lower sides (17) and (18) and the folds (19) and (20) are bent in the direction of the disc accommodating portion (4), and the lid portion (5) that overlaps on the accommodating portion is formed. ), (6). The position of these folds (17) and (18) depends on the height of the bellows-shaped support piece and the desired thickness of the case because the thickness of the case is defined by these folds (17) and (18). It can be selected appropriately. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1, in which the disc type recording medium (21) has valleys (edges) facing each other of the bellows-shaped support pieces (3) and (4) as shown in the figure. It is inserted into and is sandwiched between the side faces of the mountain. Therefore, the disk is supported in the case in a floating state except for the holding side surface.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described. One of the lids may be adhered to the upper surface of the bellows-shaped support piece to form a box body having one end opened. It is also possible to provide a protrusion on one lid and an engaging tool such as a notch into which the protrusion can be inserted on the other lid to engage both. Further, both lids may be bonded with an adhesive or the like without using such a locking tool. In the above embodiment, two lids are formed, but one lid may be used, and if the length of the lid is such that it encloses the opposite sides, the storage case can be sealed with one lid. . Also, one bellows is provided on the inner side of three folds, but if the number of folds is increased and the number of middle valleys is increased, it is possible to store multiple disc type recording media in one storage case. . Although the storage surface is rectangular in the above embodiment, any shape may be used as long as a pair of bellows-shaped support pieces can be formed. The storage case is made of a single piece of paper material, which simplifies the manufacturing process.However, depending on the shape, a lid or bellows-shaped support piece may be used as a separate body to form a mount that forms the storage area. You may form by adhering. The lid may be provided with an opening (22) for facilitating the removal of the accommodated disc type recording medium. In addition, the storage surface can be covered with another packaging body without providing the lid portion, or can be stored in a separate box body having an open end for use.

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, a disc-type recording medium such as a compact disc is supported by being sandwiched by a pair of bellows-like support pieces. Therefore, the disc-type recording medium is supported in a floating state, and the bellows is a cushion. Since it also has the action of, it does not break even if force is applied from the top and bottom or the side, and it is hard to break, so it is excellent for transportation and storage. Since the bellows-shaped support piece also serves as the side wall of the case, the structure is simple and the strength is strong. Moreover, since the storage case of the present invention is made of paper, it is light and easy to print and process. It is also useful as an ecological product because it can be easily designed in various ways and can be incinerated when it is discarded due to damage or the like. In particular, the features of the disk-type recording medium storage case of the present invention will be described below by taking a compact disk (CD) storage package made of paper as an example.

A structure in which only the edge, which is the edge of the CD (the thickness of the CD), touches and supports the package, enables a “floating state” in which the back surface (data surface) of the CD does not come into contact with the package. The bellows-shaped box or three-dimensional structure enhances the strength of the package, and the cushioning function works against external loads, so that the CD inside the package can be protected from being “scratched” or “cracked”. I chose Since it is made entirely of paper, it has excellent design. Since it is made entirely of paper, it is lighter than before. The lighter weight can reduce labor in the store. Since it is made entirely of paper, transportation costs can be reduced. Since it is made entirely of paper, it can be reused with priority given to the environment in terms of disposal. Due to the structure that is easy to produce, mechanization is easy and the cost is low. Compared with conventional plastic packages, the overall image is gentler.
