Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a card-shaped information recording medium (for example, an IC card).
It is related to a storage body for.

(Prior Art) With the development of the information society and advances in electronic technology in recent years, card-shaped information recording media such as IC cards have come to be used frequently when conducting various commercial transactions such as financial transactions. ing.

Such a card-shaped information recording medium 30 usually has an information recording section formed as an integrated circuit (IC) built into the card-shaped base 20 as shown in FIG. In many cases, a contact portion 21 consisting of a large number of contacts arranged in a row is provided in an exposed position at one end of the base 20 in order to electrically connect the device to an external device.

In such an information recording medium 30, in order to prevent damage to the exposed contact portion 21, as shown in FIG. Store or carry the information storage medium 3 in the storage body 22, and remove the information recording medium 3 from the storage body 22 as necessary.
0 is extracted and used for commercial transactions.

However, in the storage body 22 shown in FIG. 6, since the material forming the storage space for the information recording medium does not have light transmittance, when the information recording medium 30 is stored, the information recording medium 30 attached to the base body 20 cannot be seen. It is impossible to read the display section 20a that displays the recorded contents from the outside, and therefore, it is complicated to take out the information recording medium 30 from the storage body 22 and read the display section 20a each time it is used. there were.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As mentioned above, in the conventional container, there is a problem in that the display section showing the recorded contents of the information recording medium cannot be checked from the outside while the information recording medium is stored. There is. Ru.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention provides an information recording medium storage body that allows the display section attached to the information recording medium to be viewed from the outside in the stored state and eliminates the feeling of complication during use (means for solving the problem). The present invention provides a storage body capable of housing a card-shaped information recording medium that houses an integrated information recording section and has a display section that shows the recorded contents of the information recording section, the display section The storage body wall portion corresponding to the storage body wall portion is formed of a light-transmitting member.

(Function) When an information recording medium having an exposed contact portion and a display section showing recorded contents is stored in the information recording medium storage body having the above structure, the information recording medium will correspond to the display section of this storage body. Since the wall portion is formed of a light-transmitting member, the display portion can be visually recognized from outside the storage body.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In the following description, it is assumed that the information recording medium 30 has the same configuration as that shown in FIG. 6 described above.

The storage body 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is formed into a rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole using a lightweight conductive material such as Konjiku, and also has a rectangular parallelepiped shape in which an information recording medium 30 can be stored inside. It has 2 storage spaces.

That is, this storage body 1 has a rectangular upper wall portion 3a,
The lower wall surface portion 3b and both wall surface portions 3a.

Both side wall portions 3c, 3 connect both side edges of 3b with an interval slightly larger than the thickness of the information recording medium 30, respectively.
d and each of these wall portions 3a, 3b.

A storage space 2 is formed by the rear wall portion 3e that closes the rear end surfaces of the storage body 1, and the information recording medium 30 is inserted into the storage space 2 from the front end surface 4 by closing the front end surface 4 of the storage body 1. It is configured to be inserted and stored at any time.

A rectangular rear hole is formed in the center of each of the upper and lower wall portions 3a and 3b, and each hole is made of, for example, a synthetic resin material and has a light transmittance (for example, transparent material).
A light-transmitting member 6a having:

6b is fitted. Which double-light transmitting member 6a?

6b are both the upper and lower wall portions 3a.

3b, and the entire display section 20a of the information recording medium 30 has large serrations that are visible from the outside.

A portion of the both side wall surfaces 3c and 3d, for example, the front end surface 4
Operation notches 7a and 7b are provided in the vicinity of the information recording medium 30, and are large enough to accommodate the fingers of the owner of the information recording medium 30.

Further, on the wall surfaces of the upper and lower wall portions 3a and 3b on the storage space 2 side, there are located on the front end surface 4 side and the rear wall portion 3e side, respectively, and the storage space 2
A group of conductive hair-like bodies 5 made of a material such as stainless steel or capone are planted in a dense arrangement toward the side.

Next, the operation of the storage body 1 having the above structure will be explained with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.

When storing the information recording medium 30 in this storage body 1,
As shown in FIG. 3, for example, the information recording medium 30 is inserted into the storage space 2 with the contact portion 21 facing the front end surface 4 side of the storage body 1 and the display portion 20a facing upward. As shown in the figure, the information recording medium 30 is completely stored in the storage space 2.

In this state, since the display section 20a is visible from the outside through the light-transmitting member 6a provided on the upper wall surface section 3a, the recorded contents of the information recording medium 30 can be easily determined while it is stored in the storage body 1.

After storing the information recording medium 30 in the storage body 1 in this manner, when taking out the information recording medium 30, the information recording medium 30 is exposed through the operating notches 7a and 7b provided in the storage body 1 as shown in FIG. All you have to do is push both sides of the information recording medium 30 toward the front end surface 4 side with your fingers. As a result, the insertion rear end side of the information recording medium 30 is exposed to the outside of the front end surface 4, so that the information recording medium 30 can be easily taken out from the storage body 1.

Although not shown, even when the information recording medium 30 is housed in the storage body 1 with the display section 20a facing the lower wall section 3b, light can be transmitted through the light transmitting member 6b provided on the lower wall section 3b. Can be visually recognized.

Moreover, as mentioned above, both the upper and lower wall surface portions 3a.

When the information recording medium 30 is stored in the storage space 2, the conductive hair group 5 implanted from 3b toward the storage space 2 comes into contact with the contact portion 21.
Since the contact portion 21 becomes short-circuited, it functions to prevent static electricity from being generated in the contact portion 21.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the invention.

For example, the light-transmitting member may be formed of a transparent material, or may be formed of a colored transparent material with a light color such as blue or yellow.

Further, the present invention can be applied not only to card-shaped information recording media but also to various PC boards and IC boards having, for example, 89 digits of contacts arranged in rows.

[Effects of the Invention] According to the present invention described in detail above, it is possible to provide an information recording medium storage body that allows the recorded contents of the information recording medium to be easily read and eliminates the feeling of complexity during use.
