Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a tape cassette storage box equipped with a label holding device that detachably holds labels.

Conventionally, a tape cassette storage box has been affixed with an adhesive to a label for recording the content of information recorded on the magnetic recording tape of the tape cassette stored in the tape cassette storage box.

Therefore, when changing the information written on the above label, a method is adopted in which the previous information is erased by drawing a bar over the previous information and at the same time, the new information is written in the margin of the label. Alternatively, a method is adopted in which the previous label is peeled off from the tape cassette storage box and a new label with new information is attached to the tape cassette storage box.

□ If the former of the above two methods is adopted, not only will the beauty of the label be impaired, but when the label runs out of space, the latter method will have to be adopted.

When the latter method is adopted, a portion of the adhesive remains in the tape cassette storage box after the label is peeled off from the tape cassette storage box.

The remaining adhesive then forms a protrusion on a portion of the surface of a new label that is next applied.

The protrusions on the surface of the new label not only impair the aesthetic appearance of the new label, but also make it difficult to use a writing means such as a felt-tip pen when writing characters on the label.

In addition, dirt such as dust in the air and hand grime adheres to the adhesive that remains and protrudes from the edge of the new label, causing the surface of the new label to become dirty.

This invention was made based on the above circumstances, and the purpose of this invention is to provide a label holding device with a simple structure that allows easy label replacement and does not impair the aesthetic appearance of new labels. An object of the present invention is to provide a tape cassette storage box.

Examples of this invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

A tape cassette storage box 10 is shown in FIG.

The tape cassette storage box 10 includes a storage box main body 12 and a lid member 14.

The storage box body 12 includes a recess 16 for removably holding a tape cassette (not shown).

The lid member 14 is connected to the storage box main body 12 and has two positions: a first position, which covers the recess 16 and prevents a tape cassette (not shown) held in the recess 16 from leaving the recess 16; 1 as shown in FIG.
It can be moved freely between the two positions.

The tape cassette storage box configured as described above is known as a tape cassette storage box for microcassettes.

In the tape cassette storage box 10 according to this embodiment of the invention, a pair of slits 18, 20 are formed on the surface of the lid member 14, as shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, the l pairs of slits 18 and 20 are arranged parallel to each other along two edges extending in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the lid member 14, that is, arranged parallel to each other.

Label 22 is also shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, the label 22 has a pair of slits 18
．． A pair of reinforcement portions 24.26 are provided which are spaced parallel to each other at a distance equal to the distance between the slits 20 and extend with a length smaller than the length in the longitudinal direction of the pair of slits 18.20.

A portion of the label 22 between the pair of threaded parts 24 and 26 is a label body 28 having a surface for writing characters, and a portion between the pair of threaded parts 24 and 26 and both ends of the label 22. are tongue-shaped end portions 30 and 32.

The length of the pair of ends 30, 32 along the longitudinal direction of the pair of muscle pushing parts 24, 26 is smaller than the length of the pair of muscle pushing parts 24, 26 in the longitudinal direction.

, in this embodiment, the label 22 has a pair of striped pressers 24
, 26 are made of plastically deformable material.

The above materials include paper, thin metal sheets, plastics, and the like.

In this embodiment, on the back side of the lid member 14 of the tape cassette storage box 10, as shown in FIG.
One of the tape cassettes (not shown) held in the recess 16 of
A pair of engagement pieces 34, 36 are formed which engage the pair of reel hubs and prevent rotation of the pair of reel hubs.

In this embodiment, the label 22 has a pair of ends 30,
A pair of retaining holes 3B and 40 are formed in 32.

Next, a method for attaching the label 22 to the tape cassette storage box 10 will be explained.

First, the pair of ends 30 and 32 of the label 22 are
It is inserted into a pair of slits 18 and 20 in the lid member 14, as shown by the two-dot chain lines in the figure.

Next, the pair of ends 30 and 32 are bent toward the back surface of the lid member 14 as shown by the arrows in FIG.

At this time, the pair of engagement holes 3B of the pair of ends 30 and 32,
40 is fitted into the pair of engagement pieces 34 and 36 of the lid member 14, as shown in FIG.

At this time, the label 22 is overlapped with the label 1 on the back surface of the lid member 14.
The pair of ends 30,32 hold the lid member 14 as shown in FIG.

In FIG. 3, the lid member 14 is placed in the first position.

To remove the label 22 from the lid member 14 of the tape cassette storage box 10, the above procedure may be reversed.

As described in detail above, the tape cassette storage box equipped with the label holding device of this invention includes a storage box main body having a recess for detachably holding a tape cassette, and a storage box main body that is connected to the storage box main body and has a recess that is connected to the storage box main body. a first position that covers the tape cassette and prevents the tape cassette held in the recess from leaving the recess; and a second position that is spaced from the first position and allows the tape cassette to leave the recess. 2, the tape cassette storage box is provided with a label and a lid member that is movable between positions 1 and 2, wherein either the lid member or the storage box body is provided with l pairs of slits; The present invention is characterized in that the two ends of the label are inserted into the pair of slits and then the two ends are bent to hold the label.

Therefore, the label can be held in the tape cassette storage box without using adhesive, making it easy to replace the label, and providing a label holding device with a simple structure that does not spoil the aesthetic appearance of the new label. A tape cassette storage box can be provided.

The above-mentioned embodiments are for illustrating this invention, and are not intended to limit this invention in any way, and all modifications and modifications within the technical scope of this invention are also included in this invention. Needless to say, it will be done.

For example, the tape cassette storage box 10 may be a tape cassette storage box for compact tape cassettes.

The pair of slits 18, 20 may also extend along a pair of edges extending in the longitudinal direction of the lid member 14.

Further, the pair of slits 18 and 20 may not be arranged parallel to each other.

However, if the pair of slits 18, 20 are arranged parallel to each other, the advantage is that the shape of the label 22 can be simplified.

Furthermore, a pair of slits 18 and 20 may be formed in the bottom wall or peripheral wall of the storage box body 12.

Furthermore, l pairs of engagement pieces 34 and 36 may be formed on the inner surface of the bottom wall of the storage box main body 12, and in this case, l pairs of slings 18 and 20 are further formed on the lid member as shown in FIG. 14, the pair of ends 30.32 of the label 22
It is not necessary to form a pair of engagement holes 3B and 40 in the.
