Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a tape cassette storage box, and more particularly to a tape cassette storage box that eliminates damage caused when the side walls of the tape cassette storage box are shaped like lenses.

2. Description of the Related Art Storage boxes for storing tape cassettes as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 are known. That is, it is composed of a transparent first base 1 and a second base 2 made of transparent synthetic resin.
The base 1 includes a pair of hubs 4a of the tape cassette 3,
A bottom plate part 6 on which a pair of locking pieces 5a, 5b that engage with the locking pieces 4b are planted, and three side walls 7, 8, 9 erected on three sides of the bottom plate part are integrally formed. It is. The second base body 2 includes a lid portion 10 and a side wall 1
1. Consists of a receiving plate part 12 and left and right side walls 13, which are integrally molded, and the first and second base bodies 1 and 2 are pivotally connected to each other by a pair of left and right pins 13a and 13b. has been done.

A decorative card 14 is folded into a J-shape in a tape cassette storage box composed of the first and second base bodies, and the second base body 2 has a lid 10, a side wall 11,
It is inserted so as to be in close contact with each inner surface surrounded by the left and right side walls 13 and the receiving plate 12. The tape cassette 3 is inserted into this decorative card as shown in FIG. 1, and then both base bodies 1 and 2 are sealed together as shown in FIG. , 5b are engaged to prevent the hub from rotating. The back side 14a of the decorative card 14 is used as an index for the consumer, and the name of the recorded song on the cassette is written by the consumer on the back cover 14b by folding the decorative card, as shown in FIG. The cassettes are stored in a cassette storage shelf or the like in the following condition. The applicant previously proposed a tape cassette storage box in which the side walls 8, 11 of the storage box were shaped like lenses as shown in FIG. 3 so that the spine 14b appeared larger. However, when using such a tape cassette storage box, there is a drawback that the side walls 8, 11 cannot be erected downward.

The present invention is designed to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and is characterized by the fact that the side wall of the tape cassette storage box is shaped like a lens, and a part of the tape cassette storage box is formed with a flat surface.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 7. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing the tape cassette storage box of the present invention, in which the side wall 11b forming the lens has a convex curved surface, and the content 11c written on the back cover 14b of the decorative card 14 inserted into the base 2. It can be seen through magnification. Furthermore, flat parts 11a, 11a are formed at both ends so that the tape cassette storage boxes can be arranged vertically with the side wall 11 facing downward.
As shown in FIG. 5, which is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A--A in the figure, the top of the convex curved surface 11b and the flat portions 11a, 11a are selected to be on the same plane. FIG. 6 shows another embodiment of the present invention, showing the flat parts 11 at both ends.
The long l of a and 11a is made large, and the convex curved surface 11b
The top part is lower than the flat part 11a. FIG. 7 shows still another embodiment of the present invention, in which a flat part is used to make it possible to see through the label 3a attached to the back surface of the cassette 3 inserted into the base body 2 from the side wall 8 side of the base body 1. 8a, 8a and a convex curved surface 8b, and can be arranged with the side wall 8 side of the base body 1 facing down as in FIGS. 4 to 6. The structure of this convex curved surface can be the same as that shown in FIG. 5 or 6.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, it not only eliminates the instability that occurs when arranging them vertically with the side walls facing down for in-store display, etc., but also has practical effects such as being able to enlarge and see through the back cover, etc. It is something.
