【Example】

 FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a business card storage case according to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 indicates a case body, 2 is a lid body, 3 is a spring member accommodated in the case body, and 4 is a multi-piece. The business card stored in the case main body is shown by stacking several cards. Both the case body 1 and the lid body 2 are formed by injection molding using a translucent synthetic resin as a material. Of these, the case body 1 is a horizontally long rectangular box shape adapted to the shape of the business card 4. On the other hand, the lid body 2 is formed in a box shape having a size to fit in the opening of the case body.

The depth of the case body 1 is determined according to the number of business cards to be stored, but the outer surface of the upper half of each side surface 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d is thinly cut to fit the lid 2 A longitudinal section 5 is formed on both sides 1a, 1c on the long side of the long side, and two vertical slits 6 and 6 are provided in parallel with each other so that the locking tongues 7 and 7 face each other in the central portion. It is provided in. The locking tongues 7 and 7 hold the lid 2 in a closed state, and locking claws 8 and 8 are provided on the outer side surfaces of the locking tongues 7 and 7, respectively.

On the other hand, the lid 2 that covers the case body is formed in a size that fits into the fitting portion 5, and one side surface portion 2b of its short side has a substantially entire width along the lower surface of the upper surface portion 2e. A horizontally elongated slit-shaped outlet 9 is provided, and a finger insertion window 10 having a size into which a fingertip can be inserted is provided on the other side surface portion 2d facing the side surface portion 2b from the upper portion to the upper surface portion 2e. is doing. Locking windows 11 and 11 for locking the locking claws 8 and 8 of the tongue pieces on the two side surfaces 2a and 2c on the longer side respectively corresponding to the locking tongues 7 and 7 of the case body. Are opened facing each other.

Since the upper and lower opening widths of the take-out port 9 are determined according to the number of taken-out business cards 4, for example, when taking out five cards, the opening width corresponding to the thickness of five cards (upper The lower opening width) will be formed. The finger insertion window 10 is provided so as to face the ejection port 9 and pushes out the business card toward the ejection port 9 by pushing in the finger, and the side face portion 2d vertically extends above and below the ejection port. It is formed deeper so that the fingertips hang on the number of business cards taken out. A notch having a required depth is formed on the upper surface portion 2e so that the other edge of the business card extruded from the ejection port 9 can be extruded and guided sufficiently. Of course, the finger-holding window 10 may be formed wide over the entire width of the side surface portion 2d, but as shown in the figure, it can be sufficiently achieved by opening the finger-holding window 10 in the central portion so as to fit the fingertip. it can.

The spring member 3 is for constantly pushing up the business card 4 stored in the case body 1 toward the opening and pressing it against the upper surface 2e of the lid body 2. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. A rectangular metal plate having a spring force is punched into a spiral shape, and this is further induced to form a square spiral shape.

In this embodiment, the side surface 2b of the lid 2 and the finger insertion window 10 of the side surface 2c are made to correspond to the side surfaces 1b and 1d of the case body 1 on the short side. Notched portions 12 and 13 are formed on each upper edge portion.

The business card storage case of the present invention is constructed as described above. In use, the spring member 3 is first dropped into the case body (in the above embodiment, the spring member is separate from the case body). Can be taken out from the case body, but it may be fixed to the bottom of the body in advance.) Then, the spring member 3 is crushed to accommodate the business cards 4 that are superposed on each other. Cover the lid 2 from above and store it inside the case body. The lid body 2 is fitted until it comes into contact with the step portion 5a of the fitting portion 5, and the locking claws 8 of the locking tongues 7 are engaged with the locking windows 11 opened in the side surface portions 2a and 2c so as to be free. Prevent opening (see Figure 4).

The business card thus stored is always pressed against the lid body 2 by the spring member 3, and when taken out, a finger is inserted into the finger insertion window 10 of the lid body and the business card 4 is inserted with a fingertip. When the edge is pushed out, the edge portion can be easily ejected from the ejection port 9 opening on the opposite side. In this case, the overlapping business cards 4 are regulated by the opening width of the ejection port 9 even if they are extruded randomly with a fingertip, and a predetermined number of the business cards 4 are ejected. Then, the taken out business card is pushed up from below by the spring member 3, and the edges are exposed to the takeout opening 9 and the finger insertion window 10 for the next taking out.

On the other hand, when the business card is completely taken out, the locking tongue 7 that locks in the locking window 11 is pushed inward, the locking claw 8 is removed, the lid 2 is opened, and the business card is replenished again. Well, the case can be used repeatedly. In this case, in the above-mentioned embodiment, even if the lid 2 is fitted in the case body 1 in the opposite direction, the notches 12 and 13 formed in the case body ensure the opening of the outlet 9 and the finger insertion window 10. Therefore, it cannot be disabled.

By the way, in the illustrated embodiment, the case where the business card take-out port 9 and the finger insertion window 10 are formed in the lid 2 has been shown, but the same take-out port and the finger insertion window are opposed to each other in the case body 1. The side surface portion (in the embodiment, the case of forming the side surface portion 2b, 2d on the short side has been described, but the side surface portion 2a, 2c on the long side may be used, and therefore, in the case body 1, either the long side surface or the short side surface portion Can be removed from both the top and bottom separately. In this case, the spring member 3 is inserted in the middle of the stacked business cards 4 and housed in the case body. However, since it can be taken out from the upper and lower separate outlets, it is possible to store two different kinds of business cards. It is convenient.

In the above embodiment, the case body 1 and the lid body 2 are molded from a semitransparent synthetic resin, but they may be opaque or transparent synthetic resin. Moreover, it may be made of wood or paper, and the material is not limited to one. This also applies to the spring member 3, and it does not prevent the use of a material having a spring force such as a synthetic resin plate.
