Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage case for storing integrated circuit components used in connection with a computer body.

Conventional Structure and Problems The cartridge 2P, which is used in conjunction with a computer, contains a ROM, which is an integrated circuit component, and is widely used for various software applications. Each cartridge of this type has a built-in ROM, and the ROM is securely fixed to a circuit board within the cartridge by soldering or the like.

When a cartridge is connected to a computer main body to utilize various software, a cartridge containing a ROM corresponding to the content of each software is replaced and used. For this reason, it is natural that a large number of cartridges will be owned as the assortment of software increases. As the number of cartridges increases, the cost of expanding the storage space and stocking the product range also tends to increase.

purpose of invention The present invention saves storage space when assembling software products.

The purpose is to reduce costs.

Structure of the Invention The storage case according to the present invention includes a case lid holding an integrated circuit component, a display label clearly indicating the contents of the integrated circuit component on the outer surface of the case lid, and a storage case that is fitted with the lid by 3'' to hold the integrated circuit component. and a storage case in which the computer is stored, and the case lid is configured so that it can also be used as a part of a cartridge that is inserted into and removed from the computer main body.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS FIG. 1 shows a computer main body, and a cartridge 1 is installed in a slot 3 of the computer main body 2. As shown in FIG. The computer main body 2 is equipped with a keyboard 4, and has a C
It is equipped with a circuit including a PU.

As shown in FIG. 2, the cartridge 1 consists of a case 6 and a case lid 6 in appearance. Inside the cartridge 1, a circuit board 7 and a receptacle 8 are arranged as shown in FIG. The circuit board 7 is printed with a circuit pattern (not shown), and one end thereof is connected to the computer body 2 when the cartridge 1 is inserted into the slot 9 of the computer body 2 as shown in FIG. It is configured. A plurality of terminals 11 are arranged on both sides of the receptacle 8 exposed through the opening 10 of the case 5 at an equal pitch on the inner surface, and these terminals 11 are usually soldered or otherwise soldered so that they can be electrically connected to the circuit pattern of the circuit board 70. It is connected. Furthermore, the receptacle 8 is connected to the terminal 1 when it is inserted or removed.
It is fixed to the circuit board 7 by an appropriate fastening method so as to be able to cope with the load in the longitudinal direction of 1. The opening 1○ of the case 6 has a shape that can be fitted with the case lid 6, and the hook for fixing the case lid 6 is the part 12A.

12B is projected. As shown in FIG.
A plurality of terminals 14 of a secondary integrated circuit component (ROM) 13 that is fitted with the terminal 11 and electrically connected to the terminal 11 are held in an exposed manner. Furthermore, when the case lid 6 is fitted into the case 5, it has an end portion 15 that is fixed to the case 5 and a hook portion 12A.

The inside of the case lid 6 is provided with recesses 16A and 1aB that engage with the recesses 16A and 1aB. Furthermore, a display label 17 is affixed to the visible outer surface of the case lid 6 to clearly indicate the contents of the integrated circuit component 13 attached thereto. Therefore, with the integrated circuit component 5 and the base product 13 attached to the case lid 6, the case lid 6 allows the integrated circuit component 13 to face the glue receptacle 8 in the opening 10 of the case 6, as shown in FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the case lid 6 is fitted to the case 6. As a result, the integrated circuit component 13 is completely fitted into the receptacle 8, bringing the plurality of terminals 11 and 14 into contact with each other. At this time, the end portion 16 of the case lid 6 is inserted into the case 6, and the recess 1
6A.

The hook 16B is securely fixed in a manner that the hook is engaged with the portions 12A and 12B. Thereafter, the case 5 and the case lid 6 can be handled as one unit like a conventional cartridge, and at the same time, the display label 17 corresponding to the contents of the integrated circuit component 13 on the case lid 6 indicates the contents of the cartridge. It will be shown.

Furthermore, the case lid 6 is constructed so that it can be fitted into the storage case 18 in the same manner as the case 5, as shown in FIG. That is, like the case 6, the storage case 18 has a recess 16A in the case lid 6.

The hook that engages with 16B is part 19A, 19B and aperture window 2.
0, and when it is fitted with the case lid 6, the case 6 is wrapped so as to protect the ROM on the lid 6 from dust, chips, etc. On the other hand, when the case lid 6 and the storage case 18 are handled as one unit in the fitted state, the external dimensions can be made smaller than when the case 6 and the case lid 6 are combined as shown in FIG. 2, and the storage space can be saved. Can be reduced. Also, when acquiring new software, as mentioned above, RO
A user who owns a cartridge case 6 configured to allow M replacement only needs to newly obtain a storage case 20 consisting of a display label 17 and a case 18 with a case lid 6° with ROM. Therefore, when adding new software one after another, storage cases 2o equipped with a case lid θ configured as a dual-purpose part of the case 6 are collected.

Effects of the Invention The present invention is configured so that a part of the cartridge that can be inserted and removed from the computer main body can be used as a case lid, which is a storage case for integrated circuit components (ROM, etc.), so when adding software, only the storage case is required. All you have to do is get it. Therefore, compared to the cartridge 7-., the storage case can be made smaller in size, and at the same time has fewer parts and fewer parts, and preparing this case reduces the space for storing and accommodating the software. , and has the advantage of reducing manufacturing costs.

However, if a case lid display label is provided, the label can be used both in the storage case state and in the cartridge case state, so duplication of display labels can be avoided.
