[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention mainly relates to a floppy disk case used for carrying.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, a floppy disk case of this type is configured such that a pair of symmetrically formed case bodies C1 and C2 are connected by a hinge 1 at one side thereof and can be opened and closed. Has been done.

Each of the case bodies C1 and C2 is formed by fitting an inner frame 3 into an outer frame 2, and a floppy disk (hereinafter, simply referred to as a disk) D in a disk accommodating portion 4 provided in the inner frame 3. Is housed. In the figure, both case bodies C1 and C2 are formed in a rectangular shape, and the two disk accommodating portions 4 and 4 are formed so as to vertically divide the inner frame 3 into two. A floppy disk case accommodating a 5-inch floppy disk is illustrated.

Each disc accommodating portion 4 has a depth dimension that is slightly larger than the thickness of the disc D, and also prevents the disc D from moving when being carried or falling off when the case is open. Are formed with vertical and horizontal dimensions to be fitted in a close-fitting state.

In order to make the storage state of the disc D more stable, elastic pushing pieces 5, 5 for pushing the disc D inward are provided on the two opposite sides of the disc storage portion 4 in the inner frame 3. In addition, a protrusion 6 for preventing the disc D from rising is provided on the side of the hinge 1 side.

On the other hand, on the side opposite to the hinge 1 side of each disk accommodating portion 4, a disk take-out claw 7 for taking out the disk D is rotatable around a shaft 7a (shown in FIGS. 8 and 9). Installed on.

The disc take-out claw 7 has an operating portion 8 on the outer side of the disc accommodating portion with a rotation fulcrum (shaft 7a) interposed therebetween, and a disc pushing-up portion 9 located inside the disc accommodating portion 4 on the opposite side. As shown in FIG. 8, the disc push-up portion 9 pushes one side D1 of the disc D out of the disc accommodating portion 4 by pushing the operation portion 8.

[0008]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Here, in the state of FIG. 8 in which the disc ejecting claw 7 is pushed, one side D 1 of the disc D is largely projected to the outside of the disc accommodating portion 4, so that the other hand is pushed while the claw 7 is pushed. The disc D can be taken out without any trouble by performing an operation of picking up the disc D with a finger.

However, when actually ejecting the disc, in order to perform the operation compactly and quickly, it is often the case that the pushing operation of the disc ejecting claw 7 and the picking operation of the disc D are continuously performed with one hand.

In this case, the entire side of the disc D is moved to the side of the disc ejecting pawl 6 by the force of the one side portion D1 being pushed out of the disc accommodating portion 4. Therefore, even if the finger is released from the disc ejecting pawl 7 after this, As shown in FIG. 9, one side portion D1 is held on the side of the disc accommodating portion 4 on which the disc ejecting claw 7 is provided, and is held outside the disc accommodating portion 4.

However, in this state, since the fingertip for picking up the disc D has only the thickness (step) of the end face of the disc, the fingertip slips at this step and it is difficult to take out the disc D. There was a problem that there was.

Therefore, the present invention provides a floppy disk case that can easily perform the above-mentioned one-handed disk ejection operation.

[0013]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a disk housing portion in which a floppy disk is tightly fitted, and a rotatable disk ejecting claw for pushing up one side of the floppy disk housed in the disk housing portion to the outside of the disk housing portion. And a peripheral portion of the disc housing portion where the disc take-out pawl is provided, a concave portion that forms a gap on the outer periphery of the disc in the disc housing state is formed on the inner peripheral side. It is provided as a special purpose.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the structure of the first aspect, a rising wall facing the disc end face in a state where the disc is accommodated at a side portion provided with the disc take-out pawl is formed so as to be partially inclined outward. As a result, the concave portion is provided.

[0015]

[Action]

 According to the above configuration, since one side of the disc rides on one side of the disc storage part, a gap is formed on the outer periphery of the disc due to the recessed portion.Therefore, insert a fingertip into this gap and easily pick up the disc. be able to. Therefore, the disc ejection operation can be easily performed with one hand.

Further, according to the structure of the second aspect, since the rising wall is partially formed to be inclined outwardly upward to form the recessed portion, the fingertip is guided by the inclined rising wall as a guide to one side of the disc. The disc can be picked up smoothly by digging it into the underside.

[0017]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

First Embodiment (See FIGS. 1 to 4) C3 and C4 are a pair of case bodies, 11 is a hinge for connecting both case bodies C3 and C4, and 12 is an outer frame of both case bodies C3 and C4. , 13 are the same inner frame, and the inner frame 13 is provided with disk accommodating portions 14 and 14 for accommodating the disks D, and each of the disk accommodating portions 14 has an elastic pushing piece 15 and a disk lifting prevention member. A protrusion 16 and a disc ejecting claw 17 are provided. Reference numeral 18 is an operating portion of the disc ejecting claw 17, and 19 is a disc pushing portion.

Of the peripheral portion of the disc housing portion 14 in the inner frame 13, at the side portion S (hereinafter referred to as the pawl setting side portion) where the disc take-out pawl 17 is provided, both side portions sandwiching the disc take-out pawl 17 The rising wall 20 is formed so as to be slanted upward, and the rest of the rising wall 21, like the other sides, is closely attached to the disk end face so that the disk D can be stably stored. It is formed perpendicular to the bottom surface. Reference numeral 22 is a horizontal wall that extends horizontally from the upper ends of the rising walls 20 and 21 to the outer peripheral side.

In this way, a concave portion 23 that is partially retracted to the outer peripheral side by the inclined rising wall 20 is formed on the inner periphery of the claw installation side portion S.

In this structure, when one side D1 of the disc D is pushed up to the outside of the disc accommodating portion 14 by the disc ejecting pawl 17 as shown by the phantom line in FIG. As shown in, the disc one side portion D1 is in a state of riding on the upper end portion (horizontal wall 22) of the vertical rising wall 21 in the claw installation side portion S.

In this state, a gap is partially formed on the outer circumference of the disc by the concave portion 23. Therefore, as shown by the phantom line in FIG. 4, a fingertip such as a forefinger is inserted into the disc to insert the disc. The one side portion D1 can be easily picked up.

In addition, in this case, since the inclined rising wall 20 serves as a guide when the fingertip is also dragged to the lower side of the disc, this picking operation can be performed naturally and smoothly.
