BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an improvement of a storage container for an information recording card used in electric entertainment equipment and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Recently, information recording cards are used in electric entertainment equipment and the like. This information recording card is made of plastic or the like, has a recording element for recording information therein, and has an output terminal portion for outputting the recording information of the recording element at one end of one surface. Then, when the output terminal side of the information recording card is inserted into the device, the device reads the information and the operation is performed. When this information recording card is not used, it is put in a container or the like to protect the output terminal from external dust and dirt and external impact.

As an example of this type of storage container, the one shown in FIG. 7 is generally known. Reference numeral 1 denotes a storage container, and the storage container 1 includes a transparent upper lid 1a and a colored lower lid 1
b, and one end of the upper lid 1a is rotatably supported by one end of the lower lid 1b.

A recess 2 is formed in the lower lid 1b, and L-shaped projections 3a to 3d are respectively formed to project from the bottom thereof, and a space 4 is defined within these projections 3a to 3d.
The space between the protrusions 3a to 3d is set so that the space 4 is substantially the same as the outer shape of the protector 6 described later.

When the information recording card 5 is stored in the storage container 1, the information recording card 5 is first put in the antistatic vinyl case H (shown by a chain double-dashed line) and the space portion 4 is formed. Protective body 6 made of sponge, etc.
Is placed on the vinyl case H to further protect the output terminal portion 5a of the information recording card 5, and then the upper lid 1a is attached to the lower lid 1b.
Close to the side.

[0006]

However, the conventional storage container 1 has the following problems.

First, in this storage container 1, the protrusions 3a-3
If the height of d is not appropriate, even if the protector 6 is present, the information recording card 5 placed in the vinyl case H is apt to rattle in the space 4, and the information recording card 5 is separated from the storage position due to vibration during transportation. As a result, the original purpose of storing the information recording card 5 cannot be stored. Moreover, vinyl case H
If the information recording card 5 pops out of the card, the output terminal portion 5a may be damaged.

Further, when the storage container 1 is closed, the upper lid 1
Since a gap is likely to be formed between a and the lower lid 1b, when the upper lid 1a is pressed toward the lower lid 1b, the upper lid 1a may be easily deformed and easily damaged.

Further, it is necessary to use a separate protector 6 when the information recording card 5 is stored, which is very troublesome.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 is an exploded perspective view showing a storage container according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing an information recording card and a vinyl case, and FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b) are cross-sectional views taken along the line aa in FIG.
FIG. 4 is a side view showing the storage state of the information recording cards, FIG. 5 is a side view showing the state where the trays are stacked, and FIG. 6 is a storage container of another embodiment. Information recording cards having the same components as those of the conventional example are designated by the same reference numerals.

The storage container (information recording card storage container) 10 shown in FIG. 1 is roughly composed of three components. As its configuration, a lower lid 11a having a recess 11a1 formed therein and an upper lid 1 which can be opened and closed around the pivot with respect to the lower lid 11a.
1b and the tray 12 fitted in the recess 11a1 of the lower lid 11a. Here, the lower lid 11a and the upper lid 11
A known transparent plastic case for a CD (compact disc) may be used for b.

The information recording card 5, as shown in FIG.
After being inserted into the substantially rectangular antistatic vinyl case 20 through the opening 21, it is housed in the housing container 10. Long holes (holes) 22a and 22b are formed in the longitudinal direction in the tongue piece 22 on one side of the vinyl case 20 adjacent to the opening 21.

A rectangular storage recess 12a is formed in the center of the upper surface of the tray 12, and a vinyl case 20 containing an information recording card 5 is placed therein. As shown in conjunction with FIG. 3A, one side surface of the storage recess 12a is first and second inclined surfaces 13a and 13b in order from the bottom surface to the top surface. Since the first inclined surface 13a has a larger inclination than the second inclined surface 13b, the tongue piece 22 of the vinyl case 20 is in the stored state of the information recording card 5 shown in FIG.
Is inclined along the first inclined surface 13a, and a gap S is formed between the edge of the tongue piece 22 and the second inclined surface 13b. Further, locking pins 14a and 14b are erected substantially vertically on the first inclined surface 13a, and the elongated holes 22 of the vinyl case 20 are provided in these.
a and 22b face each other. Each of the locking pins 14a and 14b has a shape in which the base is constricted with respect to the tip thereof, and as shown in FIG. 14
If the diameter D of the constricted portion of a and 14b is made substantially the same, it is possible to engage with the engaging pins 14a and 14b, respectively, while expanding the elongated holes 22a and 22b of the vinyl case 20. On the other hand, a locking groove 15 is formed on the opposite side surface of the storage recess 12a opposite to the one side surface where the first and second inclined surfaces 13a and 13b are provided (see FIG. 4).

In the housed state of the information recording card 5 shown in FIG. 4, one side of the vinyl case 20 in which the information recording card 5 is housed and its opposite side are the locking pins 14a, 14b and the locking provided in the storage recess 12a. The grooves 15 are locked respectively. Therefore, the vinyl case 20 containing the information recording card 5 is firmly fixed to the tray 12, and the vinyl case 20 is prevented from being separated from the storage position due to vibration during transportation. Moreover, even if the information recording card 5 is about to pop out of the vinyl case 20, the locking pin 14a,
This movement is regulated by the contact of 14b. Than this,
There is no risk that the information recording card 5 will unexpectedly pop out of the vinyl case 20 and damage the output terminal portion 5a. Further, since a gap S is formed between the edge of the tongue piece 22 of the vinyl case 20 and the second inclined surface 13b, it becomes easy to take out the vinyl case 20 containing the information recording card 5 from the storage recess 12a. .

Since the tray 12 is positioned in the recess 11a1 of the lower lid 11a, the upper lid 11b is replaced by the lower lid 1a.
Even if the upper lid 11b is pressed toward the 1a side, the upper lid 11b comes into contact with the upper surface of the tray 12 and its deformation is prevented, so that there is no possibility of damaging the upper lid unlike the conventional example.

Further, since it is not necessary to use the protector 6 as in the conventional example, the work for accommodating the information recording card 5 is simplified.

When the well-known transparent plastic for CD is used for the upper lid 11b and the lower lid 11a, even if they are accidentally damaged, the user can easily obtain the same one.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3A, the height of the locking pins 14a and 14b is made lower than the upper surface of the tray 12, so that a plurality of trays 12 can be stacked as shown in FIG. There is an advantage that workability at the time of assembling the storage container 10 at the time of manufacturing is improved.

In order to facilitate the molding of the tray 12, as shown in FIGS. 3 (a) and 3 (b), the locking pin 14 is used.
holes 16a, 1 in the first inclined surface 13a around a, 14b
6b may be formed respectively. Also, as shown in FIG.
The hole 16c may be formed at a position close to the locking groove 15 of the tray 12.

Next, the storage container 100 shown in FIG. 6 has two lower lids 11a pivotably supported on both sides of the inner lid 11c. In this storage container 100, two information recording cards 5 placed in the vinyl case 20 can be stored. Note that R is a spine label, and I and I are cover sheets showing titles.

[0022]

From the above description, the information recording card storage container of the present invention has the following effects.

First, since the vinyl case containing the information recording card is firmly fixed to the tray, the vinyl case containing the information recording card will not be separated from the storage position due to vibration during transportation and the like. It is possible to reliably store a certain information recording card. Moreover, there is no risk that the information recording card will pop out of the vinyl case and inadvertently damage the output terminal portion of the information recording card. Furthermore, since a gap is formed between the edge of the tongue piece of the vinyl case and the second inclined surface, it is easy to take out the vinyl case containing the information recording card from the storage recess.

Further, since the tray is positioned in the concave portion of the lower lid, even if the upper lid is pressed to the lower lid side, the upper lid comes into contact with the upper surface of the tray and its deformation is prevented, so that the upper lid is fixed as in the conventional example. There is no risk of damage.

Further, since it is not necessary to use a protector unlike the conventional example, the work for accommodating the information recording card is simplified.
