本発明は、パーソナルコンピュータ（以下、ＰＣと記す）などに装備されているＵＳＢ端子に接続して使用する、主に携帯型記憶装置に関する。
The present invention relates to a portable storage device mainly used by connecting to a USB terminal provided in a personal computer (hereinafter, referred to as a PC) or the like.
この種の記憶装置としては、例えば図３６に示したようにＰＣ２００に装備されたＵＳＢ（Universal Serial Bus）接続用のコネクタ２０１にコネクタ１を挿し込んで、対応する図示しないＵＳＢ端子同士を接続して、(1)樹脂製の保護部材２によって被覆されたフラッシュメモリなどから構成された記憶部３に記憶してある情報をＰＣ２００に取り込んで演算処理する、(2)ＰＣ２００が保有する情報を記憶部３に記憶する、ことなどが可能に設けられた記憶装置１００Ｘが周知である（例えば、特許文献１参照。）。
As this type of storage device, for example, as shown in FIG. 36, a connector 1 is inserted into a USB 201 (Universal Serial Bus) connector 201 provided on a PC 200, and corresponding USB terminals (not shown) are connected to each other. Then, (1) the information stored in the storage unit 3 composed of a flash memory or the like covered with the resin protection member 2 is loaded into the PC 200 and subjected to arithmetic processing. (2) The information held by the PC 200 is stored. A storage device 100X provided so as to be capable of storing in the unit 3 is well known (for example, see Patent Document 1).
上記のように使用される記憶装置１００Ｘにおいては、コネクタ１が露出した状態では、(1)金属製のコネクタ１内に設けたセラミックなどからなる絶縁部材１Ａの表面に配設されたＵＳＢ端子１Ｂが露出して埃を被る、(2)コネクタ１が外力を受けて変形・破損する、などと云った不都合を生じる懸念があるため、コネクタ１に被せるキャップ４が考案されているが、キャップ４は使用時には取り外して別置きされるものであったために、キャップ４を紛失したり、キャップ４を装着しないで持ち運んでいるときに落として壊したりすることがあった。
In the storage device 100X used as described above, when the connector 1 is exposed, (1) the USB terminal 1B disposed on the surface of the insulating member 1A made of ceramic or the like provided in the metal connector 1; However, there is a concern that the connector 1 may be exposed and covered with dust, or (2) the connector 1 may be deformed or damaged by an external force. In use, the cap 4 was removed and placed separately, so that the cap 4 could be lost, or it could be dropped and broken while being carried without the cap 4 attached.
また、上記の改良タイプとして、外したキャップ４を万年筆のキャップのように、保護部材２の後端部に挿し込むタイプも考案されている。しかし、このように外したキャップ４を保護部材２の後端部に挿し込むタイプの記憶装置１００Ｘにおいては、ＰＣ２００に装着したときに、大きく突出して邪魔であるばかり出なく、引っ掛けて壊しかねない、と云った問題点があった。
As an improved type described above, a type in which the removed cap 4 is inserted into the rear end portion of the protective member 2 like a fountain pen cap has been devised. However, in the storage device 100X of the type in which the cap 4 thus removed is inserted into the rear end of the protection member 2, when the storage device 100X is mounted on the PC 200, the storage device 100X protrudes not only out of the way, but may be caught and broken. , There was a problem.
また、ＰＣ２００が携帯用のノート型ＰＣであるときには、複数個のコネクタ２０１が背面側などの端面に接近して設けられるため、そこに装着する記憶装置としては、キャップ４の部分を含めて厚みが厚いと互いに干渉するため、コネクタ２０１それぞれに記憶装置１００Ｘを装着することができない、と云った不都合があった。
When the PC 200 is a portable notebook PC, a plurality of connectors 201 are provided close to an end face such as a back side, so that a storage device to be mounted thereon has a thickness including a cap 4 portion. If they are too thick, they interfere with each other, so that the storage device 100X cannot be attached to each of the connectors 201.
また、市販されている記憶装置１００Ｘにおいては、ストラップで首から吊下げることができるように構成されているものもあるが、ストラップを首から外さなくてもＰＣ２００のコネクタ２０１に装着可能に、ストラップはキャップ４に取り付けられているので、コネクタ１とキャップ４との嵌合が緩くなると、貴重な情報を記憶してある記憶装置１００Ｘを落とし、紛失する恐れがあった。
Some of the commercially available storage devices 100X are configured so that they can be hung from the neck with a strap. However, the strap can be attached to the connector 201 of the PC 200 without removing the strap from the neck. Since the connector is attached to the cap 4, if the connection between the connector 1 and the cap 4 becomes loose, the storage device 100X storing the valuable information may be dropped and lost.

Also in the storage device 100 of the first embodiment, the storage unit 3 electrically connected to the USB terminal 1B carried by the insulating member 1A in the connector 1 is covered with the protection member 2.
保護部材２の左側面２Ｌと右側面２Ｒそれぞれには、溝状の凹み５Ｌ、５Ｒと半球状の突起７Ｌ、７Ｒとが設けられている。凹み５Ｌ、５Ｒは共に保護部材２の前後方向に形成され、それらのコネクタ１側、すなわち前端側は円形溝６Ｌ、６Ｒとなっている。
The left side surface 2L and the right side surface 2R of the protection member 2 are provided with groove-shaped depressions 5L and 5R and hemispherical projections 7L and 7R, respectively. The recesses 5L and 5R are both formed in the front-rear direction of the protection member 2, and their connectors 1, that is, the front end sides are circular grooves 6L and 6R.
符号８は端子保護部材である。この場合の端子保護部材８は、左右一対の側壁部９Ｌ、９Ｒを備えており、それぞれの対向する面に設けられた突起１０Ｌ、１０Ｒが凹み５Ｌ、５Ｒに分離不能（但し、常識的な大きさの力が加えられたとき。以下、同じ。）に、且つ、摺動可能に嵌め込まれて、端子保護部材８が保護部材２に装着されている。
Reference numeral 8 denotes a terminal protection member. In this case, the terminal protection member 8 has a pair of left and right side walls 9L and 9R, and the projections 10L and 10R provided on the respective opposing surfaces cannot be separated into the recesses 5L and 5R (however, common sense size). The terminal protection member 8 is attached to the protection member 2 while the terminal protection member 8 is slidably fitted.
なお、突起１０Ｌ、１０Ｒの幅は、凹み５Ｌ、５Ｒの幅に一致し、突起１０Ｌ、１０Ｒの長さは、突起１０Ｌ、１０Ｒが円形溝６Ｌ、６Ｒの部分で回動可能に円形溝６Ｌ、６Ｒの直径に一致するように設けられている。また、左右一対の側壁部９Ｌ、９Ｒは、前板部１１と、前板部１１からコネクタ１の長さより僅かに長く延設された上板部１２および下板部１３により一体化されている。
The widths of the projections 10L and 10R correspond to the widths of the recesses 5L and 5R, and the lengths of the projections 10L and 10R are such that the projections 10L and 10R are rotatable at the circular grooves 6L and 6R. It is provided so as to match the diameter of 6R. The pair of left and right side walls 9L and 9R are integrated by a front plate 11, an upper plate 12 and a lower plate 13 extending slightly longer than the length of the connector 1 from the front plate 11. .
そして、前板部１１の側をコネクタ１の側に配して突起１０Ｌ、１０Ｒを円形溝６Ｌ、６Ｒから離れる側、すなわち保護部材２の後端側の凹み５Ｌ、５Ｒに位置させると、前板部１１がコネクタ１の直前に位置し、上板部１２と下板部１３とがコネクタ１の上下に位置してコネクタ１を覆い隠し、突起１０Ｌ、１０Ｒを円形溝６Ｌ、６Ｒの部分に位置させると、突起１０Ｌ、１０Ｒが円形溝６Ｌ、６Ｒの部分で回動でき、二点鎖線で示す状態を経て、前板部１１、上板部１２、下板部１３の側が最初とは逆の側、すなわち保護部材２の後端側に位置して、コネクタ１が完全に露出する寸法・形状に、各部が形成されている（図２参照）。
When the side of the front plate portion 11 is arranged on the side of the connector 1 and the projections 10L, 10R are positioned on the side away from the circular grooves 6L, 6R, that is, the recesses 5L, 5R on the rear end side of the protection member 2, The plate portion 11 is located immediately before the connector 1, the upper plate portion 12 and the lower plate portion 13 are located above and below the connector 1 to cover and conceal the connector 1, and the projections 10L and 10R are formed in the portions of the circular grooves 6L and 6R. When positioned, the protrusions 10L, 10R can rotate at the circular grooves 6L, 6R, and the front plate 11, upper plate 12, and lower plate 13 are opposite to the first through the state shown by the two-dot chain line. , That is, on the rear end side of the protection member 2, the respective portions are formed in dimensions and shapes such that the connector 1 is completely exposed (see FIG. 2).
また、前板部１１の側が保護部材２の後端側に位置するように端子保護部材８を回動してコネクタ１を露出させたときに、突起７Ｌ、７Ｒが嵌脱可能な半球状の凹部１４Ｌ、１４Ｒが側壁部９Ｌ、９Ｒの対向する面に設けられて、端子保護部材８を保護部材２の後端側に回動してコネクタ１を露出したときには突起７Ｌ、７Ｒが側壁部９Ｌ、９Ｒの半球状の凹部１４Ｌ、１４Ｒに嵌合して、端子保護部材８が不用意に回動しないように構成されている。
When the connector 1 is exposed by rotating the terminal protection member 8 so that the front plate portion 11 is located on the rear end side of the protection member 2, the protrusions 7L and 7R can be fitted and detached. Concave portions 14L and 14R are provided on opposing surfaces of the side walls 9L and 9R, and when the terminal protection member 8 is rotated to the rear end side of the protection member 2 to expose the connector 1, the projections 7L and 7R are connected to the side walls 9L. , 9R, so that the terminal protection member 8 does not rotate carelessly.
したがって、上記構成になる本発明の記憶装置１００においては、保護部材２に分離不能に装着した端子保護部材８を前後方向に回動することにより、コネクタ１のＵＳＢ端子１Ｂを覆い隠すことも、露出させることも自在に行える。しかも、ＵＳＢ端子１Ｂが露出しているときには、端子保護部材８は不用意に回動することがないように保護部材２に確実に固定される。また、小型化が可能であるので、ノート型ＰＣのように複数のコネクタ２０１が接近して配設されていても、全てのコネクタ２０１に装着することができる。
Therefore, in the storage device 100 of the present invention having the above configuration, the USB terminal 1B of the connector 1 can be covered or hidden by rotating the terminal protection member 8 attached to the protection member 2 inseparably in the front-back direction. It can be freely exposed. Moreover, when the USB terminal 1B is exposed, the terminal protection member 8 is securely fixed to the protection member 2 so as not to be inadvertently rotated. Further, since miniaturization is possible, even if a plurality of connectors 201 are arranged close to each other as in a notebook PC, they can be attached to all connectors 201.
本発明の第２の実施例を、図４と図５に基づいて説明する。
第２の実施例の記憶装置１００においては、記憶部３を被覆している保護部材２と、コネクタ１が取り付けられている保護部材２Ａとはヒンジ１５により分離不能に、且つ、回動可能に連結されている。また、保護部材２とＵ字溝の一方の端面が封止された形状に形成された端子保護部材８もヒンジ１６により図示したように分離不能に、且つ、回動可能に連結されている。
Second Embodiment A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the storage device 100 according to the second embodiment, the protection member 2 covering the storage unit 3 and the protection member 2A to which the connector 1 is attached are inseparably and rotatable by the hinge 15. Are linked. Further, the terminal protection member 8 having a shape in which the protection member 2 and one end surface of the U-shaped groove are sealed is also connected by a hinge 16 so as to be inseparable and rotatable as shown in the figure.
そして、保護部材２Ａと端子保護部材８とは、保護部材２の同一側面の側に回動し、且つ、保護部材２の一側面側に回動した保護部材２Ａのコネクタ１を保護部材２の同一側面側に回動した端子保護部材８の内部に収納して隠すことができる寸法・形状に、各部が形成されている。
The protection member 2 </ b> A and the terminal protection member 8 rotate toward the same side surface of the protection member 2, and connect the connector 1 of the protection member 2 </ b> A rotated toward one side surface of the protection member 2 to the protection member 2. Each part is formed in a size and shape that can be stored and concealed inside the terminal protection member 8 turned to the same side.
したがって、上記構成になる第２の実施例の記憶装置１００においても、保護部材２に分離不能に装着した端子保護部材８により、コネクタ１の図示しないＵＳＢ端子を収納して隠すことも、露出させることも自在に行える。また、小型化が可能であるので、ノート型ＰＣのように複数のコネクタ２０１が接近して配設されていても、全てのコネクタ２０１に装着することができる。
Therefore, also in the storage device 100 of the second embodiment having the above configuration, the USB terminal (not shown) of the connector 1 is stored and hidden or exposed by the terminal protection member 8 which is inseparably attached to the protection member 2. You can also do things freely. Further, since miniaturization is possible, even if a plurality of connectors 201 are arranged close to each other as in a notebook PC, they can be attached to all connectors 201.
しかも、コネクタ部と記憶部とを折り曲げ可能に連結したので、使用する場所に応じて使用形態を変更することがでる。例えば、ＰＣ２００を壁７０の直前に置いて使用するときには、記憶装置１００を図５（Ｄ）に示すように屈曲して用いることで、ＰＣ２００の前方に広い作業スペースを確保することができる。
In addition, since the connector section and the storage section are connected so as to be bendable, the use form can be changed according to the place of use. For example, when the PC 200 is used immediately before the wall 70, a wide work space can be secured in front of the PC 200 by bending the storage device 100 as shown in FIG.
なお、この第２の実施例の記憶装置１００においては、コネクタ１の図示しないＵＳＢ端子と保護部材２によって被覆された記憶部３とは、保護部材２Ａとヒンジ１５の部分に設けた導線を経由して電気的に接続されている。
In the storage device 100 according to the second embodiment, a USB terminal (not shown) of the connector 1 and the storage unit 3 covered by the protection member 2 are connected to each other via a lead wire provided at the protection member 2A and the hinge 15. And are electrically connected.
本発明の第３の実施例を、図６、図７に基づいて説明する。
第３の実施例の記憶装置１００においては、端子保護部材８は記憶部３を被覆している保護部材２に摺動可能に外嵌された筒状部材１７と、その筒状部材１７に支持軸１８により回動可能に取り付けられて筒状部材１７の前端側開口部を開閉する蓋部材１９とを備えて構成されている。支持軸１８は左右に分割して短く設けられても良いし、左右方向に連続して長く設けられても良い。
Third Embodiment A third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the storage device 100 of the third embodiment, the terminal protection member 8 has a cylindrical member 17 slidably fitted on the protection member 2 covering the storage unit 3, and is supported by the cylindrical member 17. And a lid member 19 rotatably mounted on a shaft 18 to open and close a front end side opening of the cylindrical member 17. The support shaft 18 may be divided into right and left portions and may be short, or may be continuously provided in the left and right direction and long.
また、蓋部材１９は、図示しないコイルばねなどの適宜の付勢手段により筒状部材１７の前端側開口部を封止する向きの力が作用するように取り付けられている。そのため、筒状部材１７をコネクタ１から離れる方向、すなわち保護部材２の後端側に摺動させると、蓋部材１９はコネクタ１の前端が当たって矢印の方向に回動し（図７参照）、コネクタ１は筒状部材１７の前端側開口部から現われ、筒状部材１７をコネクタ１の方向、すなわち保護部材２の前端側に摺動してコネクタ１を筒状部材１７の内部に収納すると、蓋部材１９は図示しない付勢手段の力により回動して筒状部材１７の前端側開口部を封止する。
Further, the lid member 19 is attached so that a force in a direction for sealing the opening on the front end side of the tubular member 17 is applied by an appropriate urging means such as a coil spring (not shown). Therefore, when the cylindrical member 17 is slid in a direction away from the connector 1, that is, toward the rear end side of the protection member 2, the lid member 19 contacts the front end of the connector 1 and rotates in the direction of the arrow (see FIG. 7). The connector 1 appears from the opening at the front end of the tubular member 17, and slides the tubular member 17 in the direction of the connector 1, that is, toward the front end of the protection member 2, to store the connector 1 inside the tubular member 17. The lid member 19 is rotated by the force of a biasing means (not shown) to seal the front end opening of the tubular member 17.
したがって、上記構成になる第３の実施例の記憶装置１００においても、保護部材２に装着した端子保護部材８により、コネクタ１のＵＳＢ端子１Ｂを収納して隠すことも、露出させることも自在に行える。また、小型化が可能であるので、ノート型ＰＣのように複数のコネクタ２０１が接近して配設されていても、全てのコネクタ２０１に装着することができる。
Therefore, in the storage device 100 of the third embodiment having the above-described configuration, the USB terminal 1B of the connector 1 can be stored and hidden or exposed by the terminal protection member 8 attached to the protection member 2. I can do it. Further, since miniaturization is possible, even if a plurality of connectors 201 are arranged close to each other as in a notebook PC, they can be attached to all connectors 201.
なお、この第３の実施例の記憶装置１００においては、突条などからなる前側脱落防止手段２０と後側脱落防止手段２１とが保護部材２の、例えば上面、下面それぞれの前後２箇所に設けられているので、端子保護部材８を保護部材２の前後方向に摺動するときに、端子保護部材８が保護部材２から抜け落ちることがない。
In the storage device 100 according to the third embodiment, the front-side falling prevention means 20 and the rear-side falling prevention means 21 made of a ridge or the like are provided at, for example, two places before and after the upper surface and the lower surface of the protection member 2. Since the terminal protection member 8 slides in the front-rear direction of the protection member 2, the terminal protection member 8 does not fall off the protection member 2.
本発明の第４の実施例を、図８、図９に基づいて説明する。
第４の実施例の記憶装置１００は、前記図６、図７に示した第３の実施例の記憶装置１００と類似している。
Fourth Embodiment A fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The storage device 100 of the fourth embodiment is similar to the storage device 100 of the third embodiment shown in FIGS.
第４の実施例の記憶装置１００が前記第３の実施例の記憶装置１００と相違する主な点は、蓋部材１９の取り付け方にある。すなわち、第４の実施例の記憶装置１００においては、支持軸１８により筒状部材１７に取り付けられる蓋部材１９は、図示したように２７０度の範囲で回動できるように取り付けられている（図９参照）。そして、蓋部材１９は何れの向きにも付勢されていない。
The main difference between the storage device 100 of the fourth embodiment and the storage device 100 of the third embodiment is in the method of attaching the lid member 19. That is, in the storage device 100 of the fourth embodiment, the lid member 19 attached to the cylindrical member 17 by the support shaft 18 is attached so as to be able to rotate within a range of 270 degrees as shown in the drawing (FIG. 9). The lid member 19 is not biased in any direction.
したがって、上記構成になる第４の実施例の記憶装置１００においても、保護部材２に分離不能に装着した端子保護部材８により、コネクタ１の図示しないＵＳＢ端子を収納して隠すことも、露出させることも自在に行える。また、小型化が可能であるので、ノート型ＰＣのように複数のコネクタ２０１が接近して配設されていても、全てのコネクタ２０１に装着することができる。
Therefore, also in the storage device 100 of the fourth embodiment having the above-described configuration, the USB terminal (not shown) of the connector 1 is stored and hidden or exposed by the terminal protection member 8 which is inseparably attached to the protection member 2. You can also do things freely. Further, since miniaturization is possible, even if a plurality of connectors 201 are arranged close to each other as in a notebook PC, they can be attached to all connectors 201.
上記第４の実施例の記憶装置１００においては、コネクタ１の長さだけ端子保護部材８の筒状部材１７を前後方向に摺動させれば、コネクタ１を完全に露出させることができるので、前記図６、図７に示した第３の実施例の記憶装置１００より、端子保護部材８を動かす所要距離が短くなると云った利点がある。
In the storage device 100 of the fourth embodiment, if the cylindrical member 17 of the terminal protection member 8 is slid in the front-rear direction by the length of the connector 1, the connector 1 can be completely exposed. The storage device 100 of the third embodiment shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 has an advantage that the required distance for moving the terminal protection member 8 is shorter.
なお、この第４の実施例の記憶装置１００においては、蓋部材１９を凹凸嵌合などして係止可能な適宜の係止手段を、筒状部材１７の前面部分と上板部分、および蓋部材１９の側に設けて適宜係止可能にし、何れの向きにも付勢されていない蓋部材１９が不用意に回動することがないようにすることが好ましい。
In the storage device 100 according to the fourth embodiment, an appropriate locking means capable of locking the lid member 19 by fitting the concave and convex into the concave and convex portions is provided by a front portion and an upper plate portion of the cylindrical member 17 and a cover. It is preferable that the cover member 19 is provided on the side of the member 19 so that the cover member 19 can be appropriately locked so that the lid member 19 that is not biased in any direction is not accidentally rotated.
本発明の第５の実施例を、図１０〜図１２に基づいて説明する。
第５の実施例の記憶装置１００においては、端子保護部材８は外見が洗濯バサミ状に回動可能に形成された左右一対の合せ蓋部材２２Ｌ、２２Ｒから構成されている。
A fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the storage device 100 of the fifth embodiment, the terminal protection member 8 is constituted by a pair of left and right mating lid members 22L and 22R formed so as to be rotatable in the shape of clothespins.
合せ蓋部材２２Ｌ、２２Ｒは、それぞれに分離不能な支持軸２３Ｌ、２３Ｒを備え、それら支持軸に一端が固定された連結部材２４Ｌ、２４Ｒ（図１２においては、左側に位置する部材のみを示す。以下、同じ。）の他端が、保護部材２の前端側の左右両側面に開設された長穴２５Ｌ、２５Ｒに抜け落ちることがないように摺動可能に遊嵌されて、保護部材２の前端部に装着されている。
The fitting lid members 22L, 22R are provided with non-separable support shafts 23L, 23R, respectively, and connection members 24L, 24R each having one end fixed to the support shaft (only the member located on the left side is shown in FIG. 12). The other end of the protective member 2 is slidably and loosely fitted so as not to fall out into the long holes 25L and 25R formed on the left and right side surfaces on the front end side of the protective member 2. Mounted on the unit.
また、バネ部材２６Ｌ、２６Ｒが、例えば図１２に示したように合せ蓋部材２２Ｌ、２２Ｒそれぞれと保護部材２との間に設けられて、合せ蓋部材２２Ｌ、２２Ｒの前端側を当接させる力が合せ蓋部材２２Ｌ、２２Ｒに作用するように構成されている。
Also, the spring members 26L, 26R are provided between the respective cover members 22L, 22R and the protection member 2 as shown in FIG. 12, for example, so that the front ends of the cover members 22L, 22R come into contact with each other. Are configured to act on the matching lid members 22L and 22R.
そして、左右一対の合せ蓋部材２２Ｌ、２２Ｒの後端部分に矢印の方向に力を加えると（図１１（Ａ）参照）、前端側が矢印の方向に回動して前端側が開き（図１１（Ｂ）参照）、そこからコネクタ１が露出可能になり、且つ、連結部材２４Ｌ、２４Ｒを長穴２５Ｌ、２５Ｒの後端側に移動させたときにコネクタ１全体が端子保護部材８から出て露出する寸法・形状に、各部が形成されている（図１１（Ｃ）参照）。
When a force is applied to the rear end portions of the pair of left and right lid members 22L and 22R in the direction of the arrow (see FIG. 11A), the front end rotates in the direction of the arrow and the front end opens (FIG. 11 ( B)), the connector 1 can be exposed therefrom, and when the connecting members 24L, 24R are moved to the rear end sides of the long holes 25L, 25R, the entire connector 1 comes out of the terminal protection member 8 and is exposed.
