Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Summary] Regarding a portable data processing device equipped with and using a removable storage medium, the purpose of this invention is to simplify the carrying of the removable storage medium and the device. In a portable data processing device that is used with a removable storage medium attached thereto, a storage section for storing the unused removable storage medium is provided in a part of the device main body.

[Industrial application field]

The present invention relates to a portable data processing device equipped with and using a replaceable storage medium.

Data processing devices such as portable personal computers and word processors have a built-in floppy disk device with a replaceable medium to supplement memory capacity, and it is necessary to store application software information stored on the floppy medium. Information is received and passed on.

[Prior Art] FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the external appearance of a conventional portable data processing device 1. In the figure, 2 and 3 are a keyboard and a floppy disk device provided in the main body 1a of the device, and 4 is a display section. be. The floppy disk device 3 is used with a floppy medium (replaceable medium) 100 shown in FIG. 4 installed therein.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, since there is a limit to the information storage capacity of the floppy medium, a single data processing device uses a plurality of floppy media.

Therefore, when carrying a data processing device, a plurality of floppy media must also be carried separately. In this case, the following various problems arise.

■It is inconvenient to carry because you have to carry both a portable data processing device and a floppy medium.

■Floppy media is easily damaged.

■Even if you prepare a case to prevent damage and store the floppy media in it, the case will be bulky.

■If you forget the floppy medium, you will not be able to use the data processing device.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a portable data processing device that can simplify the transportation of a portable storage medium and device.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a portable data processing device that is used with a replaceable storage medium attached to the device main body, in which a part of the device main body includes: A storage section is provided to store the unused replaceable storage medium.

(Function) Unused replaceable storage media are always stored in a storage section provided in the main body of the device.When used, the desired medium is taken out from the storage section and used.Thus, The device can be carried around with only one object, and various problems of the prior art can be solved.

[Example] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing the external appearance of the portable data processing device of this example, and in the figure, 11 is a storage section. Note that the same reference numerals are used for members similar to those in the past.

As shown in detail in FIG.
It is a box-shaped thing formed in a part of a, and a lid 13 is attached to its opening 12.

A plurality of floppy media 100 are stored in the storage section 11. The size of the storage section 11 is such that the width of the entrance corresponds to the width of the floppy medium 100 (for example, 3
．． 90 mIr1 for 5-inch floppy media), the depth is equivalent to the depth of the floppy media (for example, about 94 mm for 3.5-inch floppy media), and the height is large enough to accommodate multiple floppy media. (For example, the thickness of 3.5-inch vinyl media is approximately 31 cm, so
~2 if you want to store 6 floppy media
(approximately 0 mm). An elastic packing 14 is attached to the back side of the lid 13. When closing the opening 12 of the storage section 11 with the lid 13, the two claws 15 provided on the M2S are fitted into the holes 16 provided on the device main body 1a, and the magic hand 17 whose one end is fixed to the device main body 1a is used.
The lid 13 is attached by engaging the free end of the lid with the magic band holder 18 on the lid side. When the lid 3 is attached,
The gasket 14 of the lid 13 is pressed against the peripheral edge of the opening 12,
Dirt and dust are prevented from entering the storage section 11.

Each floppy medium 100 is always stored in the storage section 11, and when used, a desired floppy medium 100 is taken out and loaded into the floppy disk device 3 for use.

When carrying this data processing apparatus, all the floppy media 100 are stored in the storage part 11, the lid 13 is closed, and the apparatus is carried in this state. At this time, since the sides of the floppy medium 100 in the storage section 1 are lightly pressed by the packing 14, the floppy medium 100 will not move and be damaged.

Also, you only need to carry one, and it is convenient to carry.

In the above description, an example in which the removable storage medium is a floppy medium is described, but the present invention is also applicable to cases where a card-shaped medium or an optical disk medium is used as the removable storage medium.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, a plurality of interchangeable storage media that one wishes to use can be stored in the main body of the apparatus at any time without damage, making it possible to carry the apparatus more easily.
