[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a disc holder housing for housing a disc holder in which an information recording disc such as a compact disc (CD) is housed and held.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In general, compact discs are stored in a disc storage case when not in use for the purpose of dust prevention. In addition, recently, small portable players and in-vehicle players that are compatible with compact discs have become widespread, and along with this, there are many opportunities to carry many compact discs.

Therefore, in recent years, disc storage cases tend to be classified into those mainly intended for storage and those intended for carrying. In this way, when the storage case of the disc is discriminated between storage and transportation, it becomes necessary to replace the storage case of one disc with another storage case according to the purpose. In this case, it is not preferable to directly replace the disc itself because the workability is not good and dust and dirt are easily attached to the disc.

Therefore, the inventors of the present application have conventionally proposed a disk storage case in which the case can be replaced without directly handling the disk itself (see Japanese Patent Application No. 63-287256). Specifically, there are those suitable for storage as shown in FIG. 6 and those suitable for carrying as shown in FIG. These hold the target disk in the disk holder 7, and store the disk holder 7 in the storage body 8. The replacement of the disks is performed together with the disk holder 7.

A disc storage case 6 suitable for storage shown in FIG. 6 is composed of a disc holder 7 and a storage body 8. The disk holder 7 includes a thin plate-shaped base member 9 made of resin and a resin sheet-shaped member 10. The peripheral portion of the sheet-shaped member 10 excluding one edge is attached to the base member 9 by heat welding or the like, whereby the pocket 11 is formed.

The alignment line where the sheet-shaped member 10 and the base member 9 are bonded together has an arc shape, and the outer circumference of the disk 13 housed in the pocket 11 coincides with the arc-shaped alignment line, and the disk 13 is in the pocket 11 It is securely stored and held without being displaced inside.

The base member 9 has a rectangular shape, and one side portion 9a thereof has a structure that can be bent in the direction of the arrow. At one side portion 9a of the base member 9, two engaging holes 12a and 12b are formed along the one side portion of the base member 9. When the disc 13 is stored in the pocket 11 formed in the disc holder 7, most of the disc 13 is covered with the base member 9 and the sheet-shaped member 10. As a result, the disk 13 is reliably prevented from adhering dust and dirt.

On the other hand, the housing 8 includes a rectangular plate 8a, flange portions 8b and 8c formed on both sides of the plate 8a, and a flange portion 8d formed on the bottom side of the plate 8a. The housing 8 is integrally formed of, for example, a relatively hard resin. In the storage body 8 having the above structure, the storage area 14 is formed above the surface of the plate 8a and surrounded by the flange portions 8a, 8b, 8c. The disc holder 7 is stored in the storage area 14. Guide grooves 15a and 15b are formed inside the flange portions 8b and 8c, and a locking groove 16 is formed inside the flange portion 8d.

The flange portions 8b and 8c have a U-shaped cross section due to the guide grooves 15a and 15b. The outer peripheral side edges 7a and 7b of the disk holder 7 are engaged with the guide grooves 15a and 15b. In the disc storage case 6 as described above, the disc holder 7 in which the disc 13 is stored and held in the pocket 11 is inserted into the storage case body 8 from the direction shown by the arrow in the figure.

A disk storage case 22 shown in FIG. 7 suitable for carrying is structured such that a plurality of disk holders 7 are housed in a case including cover plates 23 and 24 that are opposed to each other at a predetermined distance. A lid 25 is provided for the case. Each disk holder 7 is held in the case by inserting its hole 12a into a pin (not shown) provided inside the case, as in the case shown in FIG. .

The lid 25 is configured to rotate about an opening end of the case, and the lid 25 opens and closes the case by the rotation. With the lid 25 open, the disc holder 7 is rotated around the pins to be exposed from the inside of the case, and in this state, the compact disc 13 is stored in and taken out from the disc holder 7.

The pin to which the disc holder 7 is attached can be removed, and the disc holder 7 can be replaced by removing the pin. In this example, the case lid 25 including the cover plates 23 and 24 is provided, so that intrusion of dust into the disc storage case 22 is reliably prevented. In the closed state of the lid body 25, the hook portion (not shown in the figure) formed at the tip of the lid body 25 is engaged with the case side stopper 27, so that the lid body 25 is in the locked state. . As a result, the lid 25 does not open easily when carrying, and the disc holder 7 is reliably prevented from popping out.

The disk storage case 22 is provided with a belt 26, which makes the disk storage case 22 easy to carry and easier to use.

[0014]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As for the conventional storage case body that stores the disc holder 7 and the disc storage case that combines them as described above, pay attention especially to those that are suitable for carrying (see FIG. 7). It is difficult to remove.

When the disk 13 is taken out and in, when the disk holder 7 is rotated to expose it from the case, the opening of the pocket 11 of the disk holder 7 faces the case lid 25. This is because the disc 13 is easily caught on the lid 25 when the disc 13 is taken out from the pocket 11.

[0016] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to make it possible to more smoothly insert and remove a disc from the disc holder.

[0017]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to claim 1, a case body having a side portion opened to accommodate a disc holder for holding an information recording disk, and a lid for opening and closing the open side portion of the case body. And a body, the disc holder is attachable to and detachable from the case body, and a disc holder accommodating body that is housed in and out of the case body is configured.

In a second aspect, the case body according to the first aspect has a mounting member to which a part of the disc holder is mounted, and the mounting member is movable in and out of the case body. The disk holder is mounted and detachably attached.

[0019]

[Action]

 As described above, in the invention of claim 1 or 2, the information recording disk is housed and held in the disk holder. In this state, the disk holder is housed in the case body in which the lid of the housing body is in the open state, and the locking portion is detachably locked to the mounting member. Then, the lid is closed while the disc holder is housed in the case. When replacing the information recording disk, open the lid, remove the disk holder from the mounting member in that state, and transfer the removed disk holder together.

Further, when the information recording disc is taken out from the disc holder with the disc holder accommodated in the accommodating body, the lid body is opened and the disc holder in the case body is pulled in the opening direction of the case body. As a result, the mounting member inside the case body moves in the opening direction, and the disc holder is pulled out from the opening portion of the case body. As a result, a wider area of the disc holder is exposed from the case body, and it becomes easier to take out the information recording disc housed in the disc holder.

In FIG. 1, the disc storage case includes a disc holder 40 and a storage body that stores the disc holder 40. The storage body includes an outer case body 50 and an inner case body 60. The outer case body 50 has an upper plate portion 51 and a lower plate portion 52, and side plate portions 53 and 54 formed to hold the upper plate portion 51 and the lower plate portion 52 opposite to each other at a predetermined interval. There is.

The side plate portion 54 does not appear in the drawing. The side plate portions 53 and 54 are joined at the corners of the upper plate portion 51 and the lower plate portion 52, respectively. As a result, the outer case body 51 has a structure in which the opposite sides of the side plate portions 53 and 54 are open. There is. Locking parts 55 and 56 are formed at the corners of the upper plate part 51 and the lower plate part 52 at the non-bonding side end of the side plate part 54, and locking holes 55a and 56a are provided in the respective locking parts 55 and 56. It is included.

On the other hand, the inner case body 60 has a bottom plate portion 61 and side plate portions 62 and 63 formed on two sides of the bottom plate portion 61. The side plate portions 62 and 63 are joined at the corners of the bottom plate portion 61. As a result, the inner case body 60 has a structure in which the upper surface side facing the bottom plate portion 61 and the facing sides of the side plate portions 62, 63 are opened. An engaging portion 64 and a sliding plate portion 65 are integrally formed on an upper portion of the non-joining side end of the side plate portion 63, and the engaging portion 64 has an engaging hole 64a.

Further, a similar locking portion is formed facing the above locking portion 64 at a portion where the lower portion of the non-bonding side end of the side plate portion 63 and the bottom plate portion 61 are joined (see the figure). Does not appear). Similar to the upper locking portion 64, a locking hole is also formed in the lower locking portion formed in the lower portion. A slide groove 67 is formed along the side of the bottom plate 61 opposite to the side where the side plate 62 is formed. A slide groove having a similar structure is formed on the back side of the sliding plate portion 65 and the locking portion 64 so as to face the slide groove 67 of the bottom plate portion 61 (not shown in the figure).

A mounting pin 68, which is a mounting member, is provided in the inner case body 60. The mounting pin 68 includes a shaft portion 68a, an upper slider 69 provided at the upper end of the shaft portion 68a, and a lower slider 70 provided at the lower end of the shaft portion 68a. Notch portions 69a and 70a are formed in the upper and lower sliders 69 and 70, respectively.

The upper slider 69 slides in the upper slide groove formed in the inner case 60, and the lower slider 70 slides in the lower slide groove 67 formed in the inner case body 60, respectively. It is engaged so that it can move back and forth freely. The inner case body 60 is inserted inside the outer case body 50, and the locking portions 64 of the inner case body 60 are sandwiched between the locking portions 55 and 56 of the outer case body 50.

The stopper pin 72 a formed on the coupling member 72 is attached to the locking hole 56 a of the locking portion 56 of the outer case body 50, the locking hole 56 a of the locking portion of the inner case body 60, and the inner case body 60. A locking pin (not shown in the figure) that is fitted into the locking hole of the locking portion and is formed on another coupling member 71 is locked to the locking hole 55a of the case portion 55 of the outer case body 50 and the inner case body 60. It fits into the locking hole 64a of the portion 64. The outer case body 50 and the inner case body 60 are integrated by the connecting members 71 and 72.

In this state, the upper and lower sliders 69, 70 of the mounting pin 68 in the inner case body 60 are prevented from coming into contact with the stop pins of the upper and lower connecting members 71, 72 by the notches 69a, 70a. . The inner case body 60 integrated with the outer case body 50 rotates around the stop pins 71a and 72a of the connecting members 71 and 72.

When the inner case body 60 is rotated around the retaining pins of the connecting members 71 and 72 and is housed in the outer case body 50, as shown in FIG. 3, the side plate portion 62 of the inner case body 60, 63 closes the opening of the outer case body 50 to form a sealed case body as a whole.

That is, in this embodiment, the outer case body 50 constitutes the case body of the storage body, and the side plate portions 62 and 63 of the inner case body 60 constitute the lid body of the storage body. A hook is formed at the tip portion 62a of the side plate portion 62 of the inner case body 60, and this hook engages with the stopper portion 50a on the outer case body 50 side when the inner case body 60 is closed. ing. As a result, the inner case body 60 does not open naturally when carrying the disc storage case.

Therefore, in the disc housing case in which the disc holder 40 is attached to the attachment pins 68, when the inner case body 60 is rotated around the stop pins of the connecting members 71 and 72 and is ejected from the outer case body 50. As shown in FIG. 4, the disk holder 40 inside the container is exposed. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, the disc holder 40 is detachably mounted in the housing and movably held by the engagement recess 46 being locked to the shaft portion 68a of the mounting pin 68. There is.

The state of the engagement portion is as shown in FIG. 5, and the disc holder 40 is loosely engaged with the shaft portion 68a of the mounting pin 68 so as to be slidable in the direction of arrow A. . The mounting pin 68 to which the disc holder 40 is locked is slidable in the direction B shown in FIG. 5 along the slide groove 67 in the inner case body 60. As shown by the arrow 4 in FIG.

With the disc holder 40 pulled out, the compact disc 13 is stored in and taken out from the disc holder 40. Since the compact disc 13 can be stored and taken out with the disc holder 40 pulled out from the storage body, the work is facilitated.

As shown in FIG. 3, in this disc storage case, a hook body 75 is formed at an engaging portion between the outer case body 50 and the inner case body 60, and the belt 80 is attached to the hook body 75. Is attached. This makes the disc storage case easy to carry.

Here, a more detailed structure of the disc holder 40 attached to the storage body is, for example, as shown in FIG. The disc holder 40 includes a thin rectangular plate-shaped base member 41 made of resin and a resin sheet-shaped member 42, as in the case shown in FIG.

The sheet-like member 42 and the base member 41 are attached by heat welding so as to open in a diagonal direction of the base member 41. The bonding line is formed by the straight line portions 42b and 42c on both sides and the arcuate portion 42a in the central portion. The arc-shaped portion 42a of the bonding line matches the outer shape of the compact disc 13 to be stored. The base member 41 and the sheet-like member 42 form a pocket 45. Engagement recesses 46 are formed at the corners of the base member 41 located on the side opposite to the opening side of the pocket 45.

As shown in FIG. 2B, the engagement recess 46 is composed of a hole 46 a and a communication part 46 b that connects the hole 46 a with the outside of the base member 41. The communicating portion 46b has an opening width W2 to the hole 46a smaller than an opening width W1 to the outside of the base member 41.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2C, in this disc holder 40, the sheet-like member 42 on the opening side of the pocket 45 is rolled up, and further, the base member 41 is opened into the pocket 45. A finger insertion hole 47 is formed. A finger is inserted into the insertion hole 47 from the back surface side of the base member 41, and the compact disc 13 in the pocket 45 is pushed up. This makes it easy to take out the compact disc 13.

The disc holder 40 shown in FIG. 2 has a particularly flexible structure. As described above, the communication portion 46b of the coupling recess 46 formed in the disc holder 40 has a relatively narrow portion. This width is narrower than the width of the shaft portion 68b of the mounting pin 68 in the storage body. Therefore, the coupling recess 46 does not easily come off from the mounting pin 68 when the disk holder 40 is simply pulled out from the housing case body.

However, since the disc holder 40 has a flexible structure, the deformation of the peripheral portion of the coupling recess 46 can be utilized to attach and detach the disc holder 40 to and from the mounting pin 68 provided in the housing. It's relatively easy to do. In the above embodiment, the mounting pin 68 to which the disc holder 40 is locked has a sliding structure so as to move back and forth, but the present invention is not limited to such a structure. . It suffices that the attachment member to which the disc holder is attached has a movable structure that moves back and forth in the opening direction of the case body and in the opposite direction.

[0042]
