Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present application relates to a tape cassette holder that stores a large number of tape cassettes and is particularly effective for use in automobiles.

Conventional technology Conventionally, it consisted of left and right side plates, a bottom plate and a back plate.
A large number of partition plates are provided between the left and right side plates, the distance between which partitions corresponds to the thickness and width of the tape cassette, and each of the side plates and the partition plates is formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the opening side of the tape cassette. A tape cassette holder is known in which a plurality of storage portions for inserting and storing tape cassettes are formed between the side plate and the partition plate, each having a locking protrusion that locks with a planar trapezoidal bulge.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Incidentally, according to the conventional tape cassette holder described above, the tape cassette cannot be taken out only from the direction in which the tape cassette is stored, which is extremely inconvenient to use, and the stored tape cassette is There were defects such as rattling inside the holder due to vibration etc.

Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned defects of the conventional holder by making it possible to easily take out the tape cassette from the direction in which it is stored and from a direction perpendicular thereto, and also to prevent the tape cassette from rattling within the holder. It is intended for this purpose.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present application has left and right side plates, a bottom plate, and a back plate, and the distance between the left and right side plates is adjusted to match the thickness of the bulge of the tape cassette. In a tape cassette holder comprising a plurality of partition plates separated by a width approximately equal to the width of the tape cassette, the height of the left and right side plates and the partition plates is shorter than the long side of the tape cassette, and the front and rear width thereof is at least as large as that of the tape cassette. The front and rear widths of the bulges are larger than the front and back widths of the bulges, and cutouts are provided in the intermediate portions of the partition plates in the height direction, each extending forward from the backplate. A rising piece extending perpendicularly from the tape cassette and having a front-to-back width slightly larger than the front-to-back width of the bulging part of the tape cassette is provided, and the rear edge is inclined at the front part of one side of the rising piece, and the said storage part A locking protrusion is provided that makes the interval between the front parts of the tape cassette narrower than the thickness width of the bulging part of the tape cassette, and further, at a position facing the rising piece on one side plate facing the other side of the rising piece, It is made of synthetic resin and has a free piece having the same shape as the rising piece that extends in the front-rear direction and is separated from the one side plate by a cut groove.

When in use, the bottom plate is fixed in place with adhesive or the like and placed vertically, and from this position the tape cassette is moved upwards so that its bulge enters the storage compartment. Insert vertically from the opening. Then, the bulging portion of the tape cassette engages with the locking protrusion, and the tape cassette is held against the side surface of the partition plate by the elasticity of the rising piece. In this way, tape cassettes are stored in each storage section of the tape cassette holder.

Next, when you take out the tape cassette, hold it by the top and pull it upwards or pull it toward you.The tape cassette rotates toward you using the bottom corner as a fulcrum, and the tape cassette bulges out. The end edge of the tape cassette slides on the slope of the locking protrusion and escapes from the locking protrusion while resisting the elasticity of the rising piece to take out the tape cassette.

Embodiments Below, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
This tape cassette holder A has a back plate 1, a relatively thick bottom plate 2, left and right side plates 3a, 3b, and a storage section with partitions between the left and right side plates 3a, 3b at an interval approximately equal to the thickness width of the tape cassette B. 4 and a large number of partition plates 5..., which are integrally molded from synthetic resin. The height of the partition plate 5 of the left and right side plates 3a, 3b is approximately two-thirds the length of the long side of the tape cassette B, and its front and rear width is equal to that of the flat platform formed on the upper and lower surfaces of the opening of the tape cassette B. The left and right side plates 3a, 3b are formed to be slightly larger than the width of the bulged portion B' of the shape, and
The upper front edges of the partition plates 5 are each formed into a curved shape. At an intermediate position in the height direction of each partition plate 5,
Cutouts 6 each extending forward from the back plate are provided, and each cutout 6 extends perpendicularly from the back plate 1 and has a bulging portion of the tape cassette B at the position of each cutout 6.
It has a front-to-back width that is slightly larger than the front-to-back width of tape cassette B', and has a rear edge that extends in the vertical direction with an incline at the front part of one side, and the space between the front parts of the storage part 4 is set to the bulge part of tape cassette B. Preferably, the rising piece 8 having a thickness approximately half that of the partition plate 5 has a locking protrusion 7 narrower than the thickness width of the locking protrusion 7.
One side plate 3b has a notch extending rearward from its front edge at a position facing the rising piece 8 so as to divide its thickness into two. A groove 9 is provided, and a free piece 10 having the same shape as the rising piece 8 released thereby is integrally provided. Reference numeral 11 denotes a die-cutting opening provided in the back plate 1 in order to form the locking protrusion 7.

When in use, the bottom plate 2 is fixed in place with adhesive or the like and placed vertically, and from this state the tape cassette B is inserted into the storage section 4 with its bulging portion B'. Insert it vertically from the upper opening. Then, the bulging portion B' of the tape cassette B engages with the locking protrusion 7, and due to the elasticity of the rising piece 8, the tape cassette B
is held against the side surface of the partition plate 5. In this way, the tape cassettes B are stored in each storage section 4 of the tape cassette holder A.

Next, when taking out the tape cassette B, hold the upper part of the tape cassette B and pull it upward or towards you.The tape cassette B rotates in the direction of the arrow with the lower end corner as a fulcrum. The end edge of the swollen portion B' is the inclined portion 7a of the locking protrusion 7.
While sliding and resisting the elasticity of the rising piece 8,
The tape cassette B can be easily taken out by escaping from the locking protrusion 7.

In the above embodiment, the tape cassette holder A is set upright, but it goes without saying that the back plate 1 may be fixed on a horizontal surface so that the tape cassette B can be inserted from the front. .

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present application, the tape cassette can be easily taken out from the insertion direction and the direction perpendicular thereto, and the rising piece and the free piece allow the tape cassette to be placed in the storage portion without any looseness. It has the advantage of being able to be held securely.
