The disc 14 is closed tightly by the upper and lower plates 11, 15 and holding frames 12, 17 and prevented from finger print and external dust. Further, the soft buffer member 16 is stuck on the information recording disc face of the outer package, the surface of the disc receives almost no flaw.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to an information recording disc storage container used for storing and protecting information recording and reproducing discs.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, information recording disks capable of recording information at high density, such as video disks and document files, have become increasingly popular.

These information recording disks are stored in a hard storage container for the purpose of protecting the disk surface and making storage easier. When in use, the information recording disk is removed from the storage container and the information is recorded. It is common to perform playback.

Hereinafter, a conventional information recording disc storage container will be explained with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 is an example of a storage container for a conventional information recording disk. In FIG. 4, 1 is an information recording disk, 2 is a storage container, and 3 is an opening/closing window. This container is provided with an opening/closing window in a part of the container, and this opening/closing window is opened when recording and reproducing information on the information recording disc.

FIG. 6 shows another example of the storage container.

In Fig. 6, 4 is an information recording disk, 6 is a storage container, 6
is a stop. In this example, the information recording disc is fixed in the holding container by a stopper during storage, but when the storage container is inserted into the information recording disc recording and reproducing device, the stopper comes off and the storage container is removed from the recording and reproducing device. Even if the information recording disk is removed, it remains in the recording/reproducing device, and recording and reproducing can be performed on the information recording disk.0 When putting the information recording disk in the recording/reproducing device back into the storage container, place the container inside the recording/reproducing device. When the disc is reinserted and pulled out, the information recording disc is placed in the storage container together with the stopper.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in a storage container like the one shown in Figure 4, since the information recording disk rotates within the container, the container must be made thicker and larger in order to deal with the surface deflection of the disk. The storage container shown in Figure 6 does not have this problem, but the information recording disc cannot be attached to the recording/reproducing device unless the storage container is pulled out from the recording/reproducing device after inserting the storage container into the recording/reproducing device. The problem was that it was time-consuming.

Further, since the information recording disk and the storage container are separated, a situation may occur in which the information recording disk once used in the recording/reproducing device is returned to the wrong storage container.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above object, the information storage disc storage container of the present invention has a large number of hard strips connected in the long side direction by flexible connectors and arranged in a continuous manner as an exterior plate. A holding frame with grooves and pull-out holes for holding this exterior plate and sliding it in a direction perpendicular to the long side of the strip is used, and the information recording circle is The board is held between both sides by the soft cushioning material surface of the exterior board.

Function: With the above structure, the surface of the information recording disk is protected by the exterior plate, so fingerprints, dust, scratches, etc. will not be attached to the surface of the information recording disk during storage. Furthermore, when using an information recording disc, it is possible to take out the information recording disc from the storage container by pulling out or winding up the exterior plate within the information recording disc recording/reproducing device. There is no need to take out the storage container, and the storage container has the advantage of being relatively thin and lightweight.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In Fig. 1, 11 is an exterior plate;
12 is a holding frame, and 13 is a protrusion.0 In Fig. 2,
14 is an information recording disk, 16 is an exterior plate, 16 is a soft cushioning material surface, 17 is a holding frame, and 1B is a protrusion.

This example will be explained below. First, FIG. 1 shows the state in which the information recording disk of this embodiment is stored. The information recording disk is sealed by two upper and lower exterior plates and a holding frame, protecting it from fingerprints and external dust. Furthermore, since a soft cushioning material is attached to the information recording disc surface of the exterior plate, the disc surface is less likely to be scratched. FIG. 2 shows the state of the information recording disc storage container when the recording/reproducing disc is taken out.

The information recording disc and the holding container inserted into the recording and reproducing apparatus are wound up by the recording and reproducing apparatus, and the information recording disc can be taken out. Since the exterior plate is a combination of strips, it can be rolled up into a cylindrical shape within the recording/reproducing device, and the storage container is thin because the surface deflection of the information recording disk does not affect the storage container. good.

Furthermore, there is no need to remove the storage container from the recording/reproducing apparatus even when the information recording disk is in use. Use the protrusion to return the exterior plate to its original position.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the invention.

In FIG. 3, 19 is an information recording disk, 20 is an exterior plate,
21 is a holding frame, and 22 is a disc guide section.

In this example, the exterior plate is a single piece on the bottom surface with one side opening,
It differs from the previous example in that the exterior plate can be rolled up only in one direction.

In addition to the method of connecting strips and connectors made of different materials, it is also possible to use polyethylene, etc., to make the strips thicker and the connectors thinner to make them easier to bend, making them an integral structure made of the same material. But that's fine.

According to the information recording disk storage container of the present invention, as described above, the advantages of the invention are as follows.
An exterior plate in which the long sides of a large number of hard strips are connected by flexible connectors and a soft cushioning material is stretched on one side, and the exterior plate is held and slid in a direction perpendicular to the long sides of the strips. It consists of a holding frame with grooves and pull-out holes, and the information recording disk is held between both sides of the soft cushioning material surface of the exterior plate.

With this structure, the surface of the information recording disk is protected by the exterior plate, and fingerprints, dust, or scratches are not left on the surface of the information recording disk during storage.

Furthermore, when using the information recording disc, it is possible to take out the information recording disc from the storage container by pulling out the outer cover inside the information recording disc recording/reproducing device or by winding it up. However, there is no need to remove the recording/reproducing device from the storage container, and the storage container can be small and lightweight, which has great practical effects.
