Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a photo storage case used for storing printed photos.

[Prior art]

2. Description of the Related Art A book-shaped packaging box is conventionally known, which is comprised of a case body having a recessed portion for storing articles, and a lid attached to the case body so as to be openable and closable. Since this packaging box holds articles by fitting them into recesses, it is suitable for storing hard articles such as cassette tapes for educational purposes or program software.
By the way, if a printed photo is inserted into a recess, it will bend, so it is necessary to provide a recess that is larger than the printed photo, but if you do this, when the lid is open, the printed photo will fit into the recess. The problem arises that it falls off. Therefore, when storing printed photographs, it is required that the printed photographs do not fall out of the recesses and that the printed photographs can be easily stored.

Although it is not a storage case for printed photos,
Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 49-132945 discloses a card storage case that also serves as a lectern. This card storage case can store cooking cards, study cards, etc.
When in use, this can be stood up and used as a lectern. If you simply try to use this storage case as a photo storage case, if you open the lid and look at the printed photos as described above, the printed photos may fall out of the recess or the front plate of the card storage section may There are inconveniences such as a part of the printed photo being hidden and making it impossible to view the entire topmost printed photo.

[Purpose of invention]

This invention makes it easy to put in and take out printed photos, prevents the printed photos from falling out of the recess just by opening the lid, and allows you to view almost the entire surface of the topmost printed photo. The purpose of this invention is to provide a case for storing photographs.

[Characteristics of the invention]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has a book-shaped case body and a folded case connected to each other so that the folded case can be freely folded, so that the book-shaped case body and the folded case are integrated into one.
The folding case can be moved between two continuous flat photo storage positions and a folded photo storage position, and a rectangular recess for storing a group of printed photos one on top of the other is used for photo storage. A holding plate is formed at the center of the surface of the book-shaped case main body and the folded case when the book is in the above-mentioned position, and is used to hold down the printed photographs stored in the recessed portions to prevent them from falling out. The holding plate is attached to the book-shaped case body and covers each surface of the book-shaped case body and the folded case. A foldable case is fitted with an openable and closable lid so as to overlap on a presser plate, and the folded case is bent to a photo insertion/removal position when taking printed photographs in and out.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, a foldable case 11 is foldably connected to a book-shaped case body 10.
The center-fold case 1 is located between the photo storage position where the book-shaped case body 10 and the center-fold case 11 are continuous into one flat plate, and the bent photo insertion/removal position.
1 is made movable. Notches 10a and 10b are formed on the top side of the book-shaped case body 10, and cutouts 11a and 11b are also formed on the top side of the folded case 11. These notches 10a and 11b form a rectangular shape that is slightly larger in size than the printed photo 14 from the center of the upper surface of the book-shaped case body 10 and the folded case 11 when in the photo storage position. A recess 12 is formed, and similarly notches 10b and 11 are formed.
A recess 13 is formed by b. In these recesses 12 and 13, printed photographs 14 for one negative film are stored in an overlapping state.

A pressing plate 16 is fixed on the book-shaped case body 10 to prevent the printed photograph 14 from slipping out from the recesses 12 and 13. This pressing plate 16 is formed into a rectangular shape and has a size that covers the upper surfaces of the book-shaped case body 10 and the folded case 11. Windows 16a and 16b smaller than the recesses 12 and 13 are formed in the holding plate 16 at positions corresponding to the recesses 12 and 13. In this embodiment, the windows 16a and 16b have a rectangular shape,
It may have any shape, for example a heart shape.

A lid 17 is connected to the folded case 11 and is placed on a pressing plate 16 during storage to protect the printed photograph 14 from being scratched or dusted. It is also convenient to attach a bag to one side of the lid 17 and store the negative film therein.

As shown in FIG. 2, when storing the printed photograph 14, the lid 17 is removed and the folding case 11 is rotated downward to be in a folded state. In this state, since the recesses 12 and 13 are exposed, the printed photograph 14 is inserted into the recesses 12 and 13 from the side.
can be inserted. After inserting the printed photo 14, by returning the folded case 11 so that it is in line with the book-shaped case body 10, the printed photo 14 is firmly held on all four sides within the recesses 12 and 13, and the presser plate 16 Since the periphery of the printed photo 14 is pressed down, this recess 1
It is stored without falling out from 2, 13.

Further, when taking out the printed photograph 14 from the recesses 12 and 13, the folding case 11 is rotated downward to the bent photograph insertion/removal position. As a result, the folded case 11 is retracted from the photo storage position, so that the notches 11a, 11
The portion of the printed photograph held in the book-shaped case body 10 protrudes from the notches 10a and 10b. Then, the printed photograph 14 can be pulled out by grasping this protruding portion with fingers.

During storage, as shown in FIG. 3, after closing the lid 17, the book can be placed upright on a bookshelf in the same way as a book. Note that if the lid 17 is opened, the windows 16a, 16
You can view the printed photos at the top through b, and thereby know what kind of printed photos are saved.

In the above embodiment, a holding plate with a window is used, but a transparent plate without a window, such as a transparent acrylic plate, may be used instead. In the case of this transparent plate, since the recesses are shielded, it is possible to prevent dust and the like from entering and adhering to the printed photograph.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the present invention, the book-shaped case body and the center-folding case are connected in a bendable manner so that the case itself can be folded in the middle, and the book-shaped case body and the center-folding case are formed into one flat plate. When the photos are stored in a series of shapes, a recess is formed in the center of the surface of each case, so when the lid is opened, a group of photos can be placed near the center like an album. can. Moreover,
When the folding case is folded to the photo insertion/removal position with respect to the book-shaped case body, a part of the group of stored photos protrudes from the book-shaped case body, and the group of photos can be easily taken out.

In addition, the holding plate is configured to cover not only the main body of the book-shaped case but also the folded case when storing printed photos, so when the lid is simply opened, the book-shaped case is continuous into one flat plate. The concave portion formed between the main body and the folded case is covered by the pressing plate. As a result, the four sides of the printed photo are held by each side wall of the recess, and the upper surface of the printed photo is held by the presser plate, so that the printed photo does not slip out. Moreover, since the holding plate is made of a transparent material or a material with a window slightly smaller than the opening of the recess, when the lid is opened, almost the entire surface of the topmost printed photo can be viewed as if it were a normal album. It is possible to view the printed photograph and easily know the contents of the printed photograph stored in the recess.
