Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an optical disk storage case, and more particularly to an optical disk storage case in which an optical disk stored inside is visible in an optical disk storage case using a lid for paper.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a storage case for an optical disk such as a compact disk, a transparent plastic case has been used.

However, the plastic case has a problem in handling such that it is easily broken when dropped, and it is desirable to use as little plastic as possible to protect the environment from the recent ecology boom.

From such a point of view, a case made of mostly paper made by reducing the amount of plastic used as a case for storing an optical disk such as a compact disk, for example, an eco-fit CD pack (trademark) has begun to be used.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a compact disc (hereinafter referred to as CD) case as an example of an optical disc storage case made of mostly paper by reducing the amount of plastic, and FIG. 8 is an exploded perspective view thereof. Show. In the figure, 1 is a flat and square plastic CD holder, and a disc-shaped recess 2 for receiving a CD is provided on the upper surface thereof.
The elastic holding projection 3 which is inserted into the center hole of the CD at the center of the recess 2 and holds the CD in the recess 2 by frictional engagement is made of the same plastic as the CD holder 1 and stands upright in the CD holder 1. It is provided. On one side 5 of the CD holder 1, there is provided a cap 4 made of the same plastic as the CD holder 1 and capable of swiveling integrally with the side 5 and having the side 5 as a swivel axis. The tip of the lid portion 6 can be inserted into and clamped therein.

On the other hand, a paper panel 10 made of paperboard, in which the lid portion 6, the connecting portion 7 and the attaching portion 8 are connected to each other and can be bent, is a back surface of the square CD holder 1 on the side opposite to the recesses 2. Is attached to the surface of the CD holder 1 (the depression 2 by the connecting line between the attaching part 8 and the connecting part 7 and the connecting line between the connecting part 7 and the lid part 6). Side surface), the lid portion 6 is covered on the surface of the CD holder 1, and in this state, the cap 4 provided integrally with the CD holder 1 on the side 5 opposite to the side on which the lid portion 6 extends. Is swung inward, and as shown in the perspective view of FIG. 9, the tip of the lid 6 is inserted thereinto and the lid 6 is clamped.

Therefore, the CD can be taken in and out only by folding / unfolding the lid 6 and turning the cap 4, and the plastic CD holder 1 is covered with the paper panel 10 around the case. It has the advantage that it is hard to crack even if dropped, and the amount of plastic used is significantly smaller than that of conventional ones.

[0008]

However, in the case of the conventional all-plastic CD case, since the case can be made of transparent plastic, the printed matter inserted in the case can be removed and stored inside. A CD
Can be seen and its presence, what kind of content the CD is, etc. can be confirmed. However, in the case of the CD case which is mostly made of paper as described with reference to FIGS. Since it is covered with the panel of, it is not possible to see the inside of the structure.

The present invention has solved the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and its object is to provide an optical disk storage case made of mostly paper, which comprises a plastic optical disk holder and a paper lid. It is to be able to see the situation.

[0010]

An optical disk storage case according to the present invention that achieves the above object is provided with a plastic optical disk holder, and is mounted on the optical disk holder and rotatably attached to the optical disk holding surface so as to be foldable and openable. An optical disk storage case having a paper lid part that is formed on the optical disk holder, and a fastener that can hang the paper lid part folded on the optical disk holding surface of the optical disk holder on the optical disk holder. It is characterized in that an opening having an appropriate shape is provided to form a window.

In this case, a transparent film, a transparent colored film, or a semitransparent film may be attached to the opening.

The optical disk storage case of the present invention is
For example, it can be for a compact disc.

[0013]

In the present invention, since the paper lid portion is provided with an opening having an appropriate shape to form a window, the CD, the CD-RO are placed in the case.
It is possible to confirm whether or not an optical disc such as M, CD-R, laser disc, etc. is included. Also, read the label characters of the CD etc., the characters and symbols written on the surface of the CD etc. It is easy to confirm.

[0014]

EXAMPLE An example of an optical disk storage case of the present invention will be described below by taking a CD case as an example. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which the lid of the CD case of this embodiment similar to that of FIG. 7 is opened, and 1 is a flat plate-shaped square plastic CD
A disc-shaped recess 2 for receiving a CD is provided on the upper surface of the holder, and an elastic holding projection that is inserted into the center hole of the CD at the center of the recess 2 to hold the CD in the recess 2 in a frictional engagement manner. 3 is made of the same plastic as the CD holder 1 and is provided upright integrally with the CD holder 1. On one side 5 of the CD holder 1, there is provided a cap 4 made of the same plastic as the CD holder 1 and capable of swiveling integrally with the side 5 and having the side 5 as a swivel axis. The tip of the lid portion 6 can be inserted into and clamped therein.
