First, the core material 4 will be explained. As shown in FIG. It is molded to match the shape of the instrument being played. FIGS. 3(A) and 3(II) show examples of the core material, and in the core material 4 in FIG. 3(A), the bottom surface portion 7 and the surrounding wall 8 are integrally formed. Further, in the core material 4a shown in FIG. 0, the bottom portion 7a and the surrounding wall 8a are separated from each other, and the surrounding wall 8a is divided vertically into a pair. It goes without saying that various embodiments of the core material 4.4a can be considered in addition to the above. Further, it is desirable that the material of these core materials be a lightweight synthetic resin member such as the above-mentioned foamed steel foam 2 foamed polyethylene, but it is also possible to use pole paper, plywood, etc. used in conventional hard cases.

Next, the exterior material 5 that covers the core material 4 (4a) will be explained. The exterior material 5 is the bottom part 7 (
It is molded to match the external shape of the core material 4 (4a) so as to tightly cover the outer surfaces of the core material 4 (4a) and the surrounding wall 8 (8a).

The exterior material 5 is vinyl leather.

It is made of a flexible material such as nylon or natural leather, and one side 10 of a fastener is attached near the upper edge of the opening of the exterior material 5. Further, a lid 3 is attached to the exterior material 5, and the lid 3 is composed of a fixed lid 3a and an open/close lid 3b. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the fixed lid 3a is placed over the open end of the exterior material 5, excluding the part that accommodates the rod of the stringed instrument, so as to partially close the opening, and also to cover the exterior. It is fixed to the material 5 by sewing or other means. On the other hand, open and close! 3b is bendable with respect to the fixed lid 3a and is attached to extend from the side edge of the fixed 1i3a, and furthermore, the elongated tip 3C of the opening/closing lid 3b accommodates the rod of the stringed instrument of the exterior material 5. It is bendably attached to the side edge 5a of the elongated opening end. The opening/closing lid 3b is provided with a fastener surface 10a on the peripheral edge thereof, which forms a pair with one side 10 of the fastener provided on the exterior material.
By unlatching 0a from each other, the opening of the exterior material 5, that is, the storage box 2 in FIG. 1, can be opened and closed. By the way, the mounting position of the fastener surface 10Φ is the exterior material 5.
It is not limited to the outside of the opening end of the exterior material 5, but may be attached to an intermediate position on the outside surface of the exterior material 5. In that case, the corner portion may be placed around the opening end of the exterior material 5 (storage box 2) at the periphery of the opening/closing lid 3b. In the figure, the fixed lid 3a and opening/closing M3b that constitute the lid 3, which is a handle for transporting the storage case, are made of vinyl leather or nylon on the upper surface of a core material 11 made of styrofoam, foamed polyethylene, or the like.

A soft material 11a of the same quality as the exterior material 5, such as natural leather, is attached, and a melton lb is attached to the lower surface via urethane lb.
lc is attached to form a laminated plate shape (Figures 4 and 5). Note that, like the core material 4.4a, cardboard or plywood may be used for the core material 11.

Next, as the interior material 6, as shown in FIGS. 4(C) and 5(C), a sheet member consisting of two layers of urethane 6a and melton 6b bonded together as a material for protecting stored items is used. ing. The above sheet member is made of urethane 6a melton 6b.
The present invention is not limited to this, and any member having properties that can replace it may be used.

A method of manufacturing the storage case having the above configuration will be described below. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a method of manufacturing a storage case when the core material 4 is used.

As shown in FIG. 3A, first, the opening/closing lid 3a is opened and the core material 4 is inserted into the bag-shaped exterior material 5. Subsequently, as shown in the same figure (0), the interior material 6 is placed on the inner wall surface of the core material 4,
Thereafter, the respective edges of the exterior material 5 and interior material 6 are overlapped and fastened 14 by sewing or gluing (see FIG.
Ha)). In this case, as shown in FIG. 4(c), it is preferable that the fastening point be located below the fastener surface 10 because it is easy to manufacture.

Therefore, the storage box 2 is formed by sandwiching the core material 4 between the exterior material 5 and the interior material 6 from above and below in a sandwich shape.

Next, FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a method of manufacturing a storage case when the core material 4a is used.

In this manufacturing method, as shown in FIG.
After opening a, the bottom surface portion 7a of the core material 4a is inserted into the inner bottom surface of the exterior material 5. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 11 (11), the bottom part 7a is covered with the interior material 6, and its peripheral edge is fixed 15 to the exterior material 5 by means such as sewing or gluing. Next, the surrounding wall 8a is inserted into the inner surface of the outer covering material 5 (FIG. 3(c)).Then, in the same manner as described above, cover the inner wall 8a with the inner bottom surface of the outer covering material 5. The peripheral edge is fastened 16 to the exterior material 5, and the surrounding wall 8a is fixed to the inner surface of the exterior material 5. In the above manufacturing method, the exterior material 5 and the interior material 6 are fixed to the core material 4.4a by sewing, gluing, or other means at appropriate locations to prevent them from peeling off from the core material 4.4a.
