Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve workability for storing a sheet-shaped accessary such as an index card for a tape cartridge storage case whose plastic case main body and cover are integrally formed freely foldable through a back wall. SOLUTION: On the inner face of a top wall 7 of a cover 2, a regulation rib 12 is provided protrusively close to a back end. When packaging, a tape cartridge A is stored in a case main body 1, and a sheet shaped accessary B is temporarily placed on the cover 2 inner face in a condition where the accessary B catches the regulation rib 12. Then by closing the case main body 1 with the cover 2, the sheet shaped accessary B is inverted and is transferred onto the tape cartridge A top face in the case main body 1 of a stored condition.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage case for a tape cartridge, and relates to an improved workability for storing sheet-like accessories such as index cards and label sheets stored together with the storage case.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, as a storage case of this kind, there has been known a form shown in FIGS.
-195781). In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, a plastic case main body 1 and a lid 2 are integrally formed in a state where the plastic case main body 1 and the lid 2 are foldably connected via a back wall 3 therebetween. In the case body 1, inner peripheral side walls 5 are erected from four sides of a part near the front and rear ends and a part near the left and right ends on the inner surface of the square bottom wall 4. An outer peripheral side wall 9 is erected on the lid 2 from three sides of a part near the front end and a part near the left and right ends on the inner surface of the upper wall 7. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, when the lid 2 is closed with respect to the case main body 1, the upper wall 7 faces the bottom wall 4, and the outer peripheral side wall 9 overlaps the outer side of the inner peripheral side wall 5.

[0003]

As shown in FIG. 7, a sheet-like accessory B such as an index card, a label sheet, or a product description is placed on the upper surface of the tape cartridge A in the storage case. Stored in the state. At the time of this storage operation, as shown in FIG.
Is stored in the recess 6 surrounded by a circle, and the sheet-like accessory B is properly placed on the upper surface of the tape cartridge A without protruding so that it does not bend when the lid is closed,
Then, the lid 2 is closed. However, it is not easy to arrange the sheet-like accessory B on the upper surface of the tape cartridge A in such a manner, and this has caused a reduction in work efficiency.

[0004] An object of the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a storage case capable of improving the workability of storing a sheet-like accessory.

[0005]

The storage case according to the present invention comprises:
As shown in FIG. 1, a lid 2 is integrally connected to a case body 1 via a back wall 3 so as to be freely bent. Case body 1
Has a rectangular bottom wall 4 and an inner peripheral side wall 5 erected from four sides of a part near the front and rear ends and a part near the left and right ends on the inner surface of the bottom wall 4. The lid 2 is erected from an upper wall 7 facing the bottom wall 4 in a closed state, and three sides of an inner surface of the upper wall 7 near a front end and right and left ends. An outer peripheral side wall 9 overlaps the outer peripheral side wall 5. As shown in FIG. 4, a tape cartridge A is housed in a recess 6 surrounded by an inner peripheral side wall 5 of the case body 1, and a sheet-like attachment is provided between the upper surface of the tape cartridge A and the inner surface of the upper wall 7. The object B can be stored. In addition, the present invention is characterized in that a regulating rib 12 for preventing the sheet-like attachment B from moving in the direction of the back wall 3 is protruded at a rearward position on the inner surface of the upper wall 7. I do.

[0006]

[Function] Tape cartridge A and sheet-like accessory B
When storing the tape cartridge A, first, with the lid 2 opened as shown in FIG.
The sheet-shaped accessory B is turned over and the upper wall 7 of the lid 2 is
Is temporarily placed in a state where the rear edge thereof is hooked on the regulating rib 12. Next, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, when the lid 2 is folded and closed to the case body 1, the sheet-like accessory B is inverted, and a storage state in which the sheet-like accessory B is transferred to and mounted on the upper surface of the tape cartridge A is obtained. That is, if the sheet-like attachment B is temporarily placed on the inner surface of the upper wall 7 of the lid 2 so as not to move in the direction of the back wall 3 so as to be hooked on the regulating rib 12, the lid 2 may be closed while being closed. There is no problem that the sheet-like attachment B moves toward the back wall 3 and bends, and there is no large movement in the front and left and right directions due to the presence of the outer peripheral side wall 9. It can be transferred to a state where it is neatly placed.

[0007]

As described above, according to the present invention, the sheet-like appendix B is temporarily placed on the inner surface of the lid 2 while providing a simple means for providing the regulating rib 12 on the inner surface of the lid 2. When the cover 2 is closed, a state in which the lid 2 is closed and placed on the upper surface of the tape cartridge A is obtained. Therefore, the sheet-like accessory B can be easily and efficiently stored as compared with the operation of properly placing the sheet-like accessory B on the upper surface of the tape cartridge A. In other words, the time and labor required for temporarily placing the sheet-shaped accessory B on the inner surface of the lid 2 can be reduced as compared with the time required for properly placing the sheet-shaped accessory B on the upper surface of the tape cartridge A.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of a storage case for a tape cartridge according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIG. 1, this storage case is integrated with a plastic case main body 1 and a lid 2 in a state in which the two are foldably connected to each other by a back wall 3 in substantially the same manner as the conventional example shown in FIG. Is molded. The case body 1 is provided with tape cartridge housings on the inner surface of the bottom wall 4 by erecting the inner peripheral side wall 5 from four sides of a portion near the front and rear ends and a portion near the left and right ends on the inner surface of the square bottom wall 4. Is formed to be surrounded by the inner peripheral side wall 5.

The lid 2 has an outer peripheral side wall 9 erected from three sides near the front end and left and right ends on the inner surface of the rectangular upper wall 7. When the lid 2 is closed as shown in FIG. The outer peripheral side wall 9 faces the wall 4 so as to overlap the outer peripheral side wall 5. Further, one or two or more regulating ribs 12 are protruded from a portion near the rear end of the inner surface of the upper wall 7, and an index card, a label sheet, or a product manual is provided on the inner surface of the upper wall 7 with the lid open. When the sheet-shaped accessory B is temporarily placed, its rear edge is caught by the regulating rib 12 so that the sheet-shaped accessory B does not move toward the back wall 3. The restricting rib 12 is positioned so as to face above the inner peripheral side wall 5 erected from a portion near the rear end of the case main body 1 in a closed state as shown in FIG. When a plurality of regulating ribs 12 are provided as shown in FIG. 1, the regulating ribs 12 are arranged side by side at predetermined intervals in the left-right direction at a portion near the rear end of the inner surface of the upper wall 7. The space between the case body 1 and the back wall 3 and the space between the lid 2 and the back wall 3 are connected to each other by thin integrated hinges 10 and 11 so as to be freely bent.

When mounting the tape cartridge A individually,
With the lid 2 opened as shown in FIG. 2, the tape cartridge A is accommodated in the recess 6 of the case body 1, and the sheet-like accessory B is turned upside down on the inner surface of the upper wall 7 of the lid 2. It is temporarily placed in a state of being hooked on the regulating rib 12. Next, when the lid 2 is closed as shown in FIG. 3, the sheet-like accessory B is inverted and transferred to the upper surface of the tape cartridge A as shown in FIG. It is stored in a state interposed between them.
