Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (1) Technical Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a magnetic tape container, and particularly relates to a magnetic tape container that can easily store magnetic tape without loosening the tape.

(2) Prior Art and Problems Magnetic tape devices are widely used as information file devices and high-speed input/output devices in electronic computer systems. On the other hand, when storing or transporting magnetic tape, which is an information storage medium now used in large quantities in such devices, it is necessary to use plastic magnetic tape containers (magnetic (also called tape case). This magnetic tape container consists of a container body and a top lid having a simple opening/closing lock mechanism. When storing the magnetic tape in the container, for example, the starting end 3 of the magnetic tape 2 is wrapped with a sponge to prevent the magnetic tape 2 wound on the reel 1 from becoming loose as shown in FIG. The container is stored in the container main body (not shown) in a state in which it is fixed with a holder 4 made of aluminum, covered with a top lid, and locked.

However, the above-mentioned holder 4 for preventing the winding of the magnetic tape from becoming loose is often lost when the magnetic tape is repeatedly removed from the container and attached to and removed from the magnetic tape device. It had the disadvantage of being extremely difficult to handle, as it could not be rolled up and stored in a container without loosening.

(3) Purpose of the invention The present invention was created in view of the above-mentioned conventional situation.When a magnetic tape is stored in a container,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a magnetic tape container that is easy to handle and can also be used to loosen the tape.

(4) Structure of the invention In order to achieve the above object, the invention provides through holes at predetermined locations on the peripheral wall of the container body, and
A flexible connecting member having a tape holding holder supported at its tip is inserted into the through hole, and the other end of the flexible connecting member is inserted along the outer circumferential wall of the container body adjacent to the through hole. It is characterized in that it is connected to the sliding locking means provided, and by sliding the sliding locking means, the tape presser holder presses and holds the starting end of the stored magnetic tape.

(5) Embodiments of the invention Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a schematic perspective view showing an embodiment of the magnetic tape container according to the present invention, in which 21 is the container body, 22 is the upper lid, 33 is a through hole, and 24 is a tape holding device 25 at the tip. The supported flexible connecting member, 26, is a sliding locking means. As shown in the partially enlarged perspective view and cross-sectional view of FIGS. 3 and 4, the tape pressing holder 25 has an elastic member, such as a sponge-like polyurethane resin 25a, attached to its pressing surface, and is attached to a container. Main body 21
It is supported by the tip of a flexible connecting member 24 that is inserted into a through hole 23 provided in the peripheral wall. The other end of the flexible connecting member 24 is connected to the through hole 2.
For example, a plurality of locking protrusions 26c are disposed along the outer circumferential wall of the container body 21 adjacent to the bottom of the container body 21.
The sliding locking means 26 is composed of a sliding guide 26b having a sliding guide 26b and a sliding tool 26a having an engaging protrusion.
It is connected to the sliding tool 26a at. Therefore, by sliding the sliding tool 26a in the direction of the arrow 27, the tape pressing holder 25 is interlocked so that its pressing surface is accommodated within the container body 21 and wound within the reel 1. While pressing the starting end of the magnetic tape 2, the sliding tool 26
a indicates a plurality of locking protrusions 26c of the sliding guide 26b;
As a result, the tape pressing holder 25 can easily prevent the magnetic tape 2 from loosening. In addition, since the sliding locking means 26 is attached to the outer circumferential wall of the container body 21 in this way, the corresponding circumferential wall of the upper lid part 22 should be formed into a cutout shape as shown in FIG. By forming the lid so that it also covers the locking means 26, the upper lid part 22 can be placed over the container body 21 and locked in the conventional manner.
Further, by making the sliding direction side peripheral edge 28 of the opening inside the container body 21 of the through hole 23 into a protruding shape as shown in the figure, the magnetic tape 2
The pressing and holding of the presser holder 25 against the presser foot holder 25 can be carried out more effectively. When taking out the magnetic tape 2 from the inside of the container body 21, the pressing and holding of the presser holder 25 against the magnetic tape 2 is easily released by performing the above-mentioned sliding operation in reverse.

(6) Effects of the invention As is clear from the above explanation, according to the magnetic tape container of the invention, since the container body is equipped with a mechanism to prevent the magnetic tape from loosening, it is not possible to prevent the tape from loosening as in the conventional case. It has the advantage of eliminating inconveniences such as losing the holder, and allows the magnetic tape to be easily stored without loosening the winding. This makes it extremely convenient to handle.
