Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to the structure of a tape cassette storage case, and more specifically, the front part of the drawer is composed of a single board with a pull part at the bottom and ribs on both side ends. The present invention relates to a tape cassette storage case in which a transparent plate that releasably covers the front part of the substrate is disposed between both upper ribs.

Recently, as the performance of audio tapes and video tapes has improved, they have come to be stored in compact cassettes and used as cassette tapes, and it is common for these cassettes to be stored in storage cases having drawers with a number of separators arranged side by side so that several cassettes can be stored together.

By the way, such a storage case has the inconvenience of being unable to see the contents of the storage cassette inside with the drawer inserted, and having to pull out the drawer one by one to look inside. In order to eliminate this inconvenience, a sticker-like catalog with adhesive is pasted on the front of the drawer. The problem was that the sticker had to be replaced and the case became contaminated during use. Furthermore, in the past, apart from this, there is also a separate frame for inserting a catalog card on the front of the drawer. It had the disadvantage that it could sometimes come off.

In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention has been developed to provide a tape with a card slot into which a catalog card or the like that can record the contents of a storage cassette can be inserted, and whose front part is covered almost entirely with a transparent plate so that it can be opened, and which is extremely pleasing in appearance. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a tape cassette storage case, the gist of which is to provide a tape cassette storage case that has a drawer in which a number of partition plates are arranged side by side and tape cassettes are stored between each partition plate. The front part of the board is made of a single board, and a pull part is integrally formed at the bottom of the board, and ribs projecting forward are formed at least at both side ends of the board. The tape cassette storage case is constructed such that a transparent plate that releasably covers the front part of the board is disposed between both ribs above the handle part of the tape cassette storage case.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the main parts of the tape cassette storage case according to the present invention, Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along the - line in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the tape cassette storage case according to the present invention. This is a perspective view of the transparent plate for the cover. Reference numeral 1 is a drawer for the tape cassette storage case, which is made up of an integral structure of a front part 2 and a cassette storage part 3. Furthermore, the front part 2 has a pull at the bottom relative to the board 2a. A portion 2b is integrally provided with an L-shaped cross section parallel to the lower edge, and ribs 2c, 2d, and 2e projecting forward are provided integrally with the substrate 2a at both side ends and the upper end of the substrate 2a, respectively. is formed. Furthermore, a protrusion 2f is integrally formed with the surface of the handle part 2b perpendicular to the substrate 2a and projects from the substrate 2a in parallel with a certain gap, forming a groove-shaped gap 2g. At the same time, ribs 2h are integrally formed in the vertical direction above the protrusion 2f at approximately three equal parts in the front surface of the substrate 2a in the horizontal direction.

On the other hand, inside the cassette storage part 3, in this case, for convenient storage of video tape cassettes,
Partition plates 3a are integrally arranged in parallel in the depth direction with a constant width, and each partition plate 3a is arranged integrally in parallel with the depth direction.
A regulation plate 3b that can regulate the length in the depth direction and the perpendicular direction is integrally provided between the partition plates 3a and 3a. The Betamax type tape cassette 5 can be stored in a state in which the width of the storage section is full, and in a state in which the position of the tape cassette 5 of the Betamax type is restricted between the partition plates 3a, 3a and between the regulating plates 3b, 3b in the left and right length direction. As shown in more detail in FIG. 3, 6 is a transparent plate made of elastic synthetic resin for use as a card cover, and its lower end is bent at an acute angle with respect to the front cover part 6a to form a bent part. 6b
The bent portion 6b has an appropriate size such that the bending dimension b in the direction parallel to the front cover portion 6a from the bent portion to the tip is slightly larger than the gap dimension a of the gap portion 2g. It is formed of. 6c is the insertion of a card etc. at the upper end of the transparent plate 6;
At the finger grip portion when discharging, the front cover portion 6a is slightly bent toward the opposite side of the bent portion 6b. 7
8 is an inventory card, 8 is a decorative item such as an artificial flower, and 9 is a decorative card such as a photograph, which are arranged between the substrate 2a and the transparent plate 6. 10 is a cover case in which the drawer 1 can be stored.

Therefore, with the storage case of the present invention having the above-mentioned structure, the transparent plate 6, which is a separate structure, is first placed on the horizontal surface of the handle part 2b protruding from the base plate 2a, as shown by the dashed line in FIG. By pressing the lower bent portion 6b of the plate 6, the groove-shaped gap 2
Push the bent part 6b into the position of the solid line. At this time, the bent part 6b is bent in advance at an acute angle with respect to the front cover part 6a, so that the bending dimension b is the gap dimension a.
Since it is formed to have an appropriate size slightly larger than that shown in the dashed line, the upper bent corner of the finger hook 6c of the transparent plate 6 is connected to the rib 2h of the substrate 2a, or the finger hook 6c is connected to the upper end rib. 2e, and the tip of the bent portion 6b also comes into contact with the lower surface of the protrusion 2f. By pushing the bent portion 6b in the direction of the arrow, the transparent plate 6 elastically attaches to the front cover portion 6a. is bent and the bent portion 6b is pushed into the gap 2g. Therefore, in this state, the transparent plate 6 has the tip of the bent portion 6b on the lower surface of the protrusion 2f, and the outer bent surface on the handle portion 2.
The front plate 2 is frictionally engaged with the upper surface of b, respectively.
Fixed. Therefore, the transparent plate 6 can be bent with respect to the lower fixed part within its elastic range by pushing the finger hook part 6c forward with a finger. Inventory cards 7, other ornaments 8, cards 9, etc. can be easily inserted and ejected between the two. In addition, to remove the transparent plate 6 from the substrate 2a when replacing it with a different color according to your preference, hold the finger hook 6c and slide it forward while applying force alternately on the left and right sides. The bent portion 6b can be easily removed from the gap 2g.

In the above embodiment, the case of storing video tape cassettes has been described, but it is of course possible to store other items such as audio tape cassettes by appropriately forming the partition plate. The cover case 8 may be made into a multi-connected type to incorporate a plurality of drawers, and the protrusion 2f
In addition to continuous protrusions, the shape of the protrusions may be intermittent or bar-like, and the protrusion length may be appropriate, and the bent portion 6b of the transparent plate 6 may be fixed by other frictional engagement. The transparent plate 6 may also be fitted.
In addition to the above-mentioned frictional engagement, the engagement protrusion protrudes from the lower side edge of the transparent plate 6 and the engagement recess provided at the lower part of the ribs 2c and 2d protrudes from both side edges of the substrate. , one that pivots to open and close with respect to the substrate 2a, or a transparent plate made into a flat plate and slidably fitted into the vertical grooves provided in the ribs 2c and 2d, and the transparent plate is slidably fitted to the substrate 2a. Even if it is made openable and closable, it does not depart from the gist of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiments, such as not necessarily requiring the ribs 2h.

As described above, according to the tape cassette storage case of the present invention, the transparent plate covers almost the entire front part of the board in the front part of the drawer in an openable and closable manner with a simple structure, so that the tape cassette storage case can be simply stored in the front part. Not only can a catalog card for the cassette be placed there, but other decorative items and photographs of singers that match the storage cassette can also be placed in a relatively large space, making it possible for users to replace the otherwise bland case with the storage cassette. In addition to being able to decorate it as you like, it is also easy to replace, and since the above-mentioned cards and decorations are inserted between the transparent plate and the front plate, it looks extremely attractive and increases the product value. On the other hand, since ribs are formed on both ends of the board, it is possible to prevent distortion and deformation of the board, and at the same time, depending on how the transparent plate is installed, it can be used to prevent it from protruding or to be used for the installation itself. It has the characteristics of being structurally effective.
