Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a betting card storage case for purchasing betting tickets, and more particularly to a betting card for marking a desired type of betting ticket that can be written and removed quickly and surely.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Computers and a large number of terminals have been installed at sales floors such as horse race tracks and betting ticket purchase counters recently, and the purchaser takes a voting card provided at the sales floor and puts a short vertical line on the mark entry area for each type of betting ticket. The person in charge inserts this into the terminal and inputs it, and the purchaser obtains the betting ticket of the desired type supplied from the terminal in exchange for the displayed purchase price. is there.

[0003] Voting cards for inputting terminal devices in which vertical line marks are written so as to be erased are classified by type, place name, race number type, frame plate, horse number type number and its doublet, amount and unit type. Parentheses or long vertical contour lines indicating the marks are placed above and below each of the categories and numbers.

The purchaser takes about 30 planned voting cards and stores them in a pocket, removes one, puts a horse newspaper, etc. on the underlay, and fills in the mark of the selected number while pushing together with many purchasers. Mark the department and send it to the counter to buy a betting ticket. Voting cards used in this way are wrinkled, bends and breaks occur, or the markings stick out of the markings and are returned even if they are inserted into a terminal. These unusable voting cards reach several tons per day at national racetracks, not only destroying the environment but also wasting high production costs.

Recently, a storage case for a notebook type voting card has been proposed. In this case, a felt-tip pen is placed on the folding part of the front cover of the file, and a U-shaped protrusion is erected along the three edges of the synthetic resin substrate on the inner surface of one cover. It has been proposed that about 20 voting cards be stacked on top of each other, and the top voting card should be marked and pulled out from the non-protruded part with your fingertips.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the conventional storage case as described above, even if the voting card is arranged on a rigid substrate, it is necessary to mark the mark with a felt-tip pen without fixing the elbow in the small mark writing part. Many people are pushing each other, and when the elbow or body is pressed while marking, the mark often sticks out of the brackets, and many of them are written incorrectly. If it is placed in a pocket, it will fall out of the outlet into the pocket and become dirty or damaged, making it unusable. Furthermore, there were problems that the voting card was dirty when it was dirty or if you tried to remove it with your fingers, and that it was difficult to remove only one if you were wearing gloves.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems of the conventional technology. The purpose of the present invention is to make sure that even if a mark is written in rude manner, it will be written in the mark writing portion. The voting cards that are stacked and stored in the case are kept clean and free from dirt and damage so that they cannot be accidentally escaped to the outside and damaged. The voting card provided is intended to provide a case in which one can be surely taken out.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the storage case according to the present invention is provided with a notch for a card ejection opening on the front wall of a U-shaped wall that is bent upright from the peripheral edge of a substantially rectangular bottom wall and has a lower case. The upper case is pivotally attached to one end of each side wall so that the upper case can be opened and closed. The upper case forms a housing groove with both side plates bent downward from both side edges of the frame-shaped upper wall and a supporting plate bent inward from both side plates. A pressing plate that is provided and is urged toward the frame-shaped upper plate is interposed. About 30 voting cards are accommodated between the pressing plate and the frame-shaped upper plate and arranged at a predetermined position. Then, the peripheral edge of the transparent plate made of synthetic resin is bonded to the frame-shaped upper wall. The transparent plate is provided with a through hole having the same shape as the mark writing part at a position aligned with the mark writing part of the voting card.

A slit is formed on one side of the frame-shaped upper wall, and a lever having a cross-section is slidably mounted on the slit. The case as described above has a structure in which the bottom wall of the lower case is bonded to the back surface of one of the covers of a notebook-sized file.

[0010]

[Action]

 When the upper case pivotally attached to the lower case is opened and the required number of voting cards are inserted between the frame-shaped upper wall of the upper case and the pressing plate, the card is pushed up by the pressing plate, Also, it is positioned by the rear wall on the pivot side and both side plates, and the mark part is surely aligned with the through hole of the transparent plate. After confirming this alignment state, the upper case is fitted and engaged with the lower case. If you make a vertical line mark with the ballpoint pen or felt-tip pen on the desired mark on the selected mark, it will be protected by the transparent plate even if the hand is misaligned or the pen tip sticks out to the outside of the mark. It is surely entered.

When the marked voting card is taken out from the case, it is moved to the ejection side while pressing the lever. The voting card is pushed out to the exit side by the frictional property of the rubber material under the lever and the pushing force of the pressing plate.

The take-out port for the voting card is a slit-like take-out port when the frame-shaped upper wall is closed by forming a step-like cutout at the upper edge of the front wall of the lower case that is about 1.5 times the thickness of the voting card. Is formed. Therefore, if the voting card is pushed out by the lever, only one is pushed out from the take-out port, and a part of the pushed-out card is picked and taken out.

【Example】

 Examples will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2, the storage case 2 for storing the voting card 1 is attached to the file 3. The file 3 is composed of a front cover 5 and a back cover 6 which are bent on both sides of the spine 4, and the storage case 2 is adhered to the inner surface of the back cover. This allows the storage case to be carried in a suit pocket.

In the voting card 1 shown in FIG. 2, the location and the number are described in the columns such as type, location, race number and frame number, horse number, and amount unit. A mark description portion 7 consisting of a circular arc is drawn. A betting ticket purchaser marks the desired mark on the selected mark and submits it, and obtains the betting ticket automatically supplied in exchange for the input price displayed on the terminal.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the storage case 2 is formed by casting a synthetic resin material to form a lower case 8 and an upper case 9. In the lower case 8, a front wall 11 and both side walls 12 are erected on a rectangular bottom wall 10. Both sides of the front wall 11 are provided with card ejection openings 13 each having a notch having a step height higher than the upper edge of the front wall 11 by 1.5 times the thickness of the voting card 1. The central portion is a curved cutout portion 14 on which one finger is hooked to open the upper case 9.

The upper case 9 is formed with a frame-shaped upper wall 16 having a rectangular opening 15, and the engaging piece 17 is bent downward from both sides of the front end of the frame-shaped upper wall 16 and the engaging piece 17 is formed. It is engaged with the outer surface of the front end of both side walls 12 of the lower case. At this time, the front frame portion 18 of the upper wall forms a take-out port 13 with a gap between the front frame portion 18 and the cutout portion of the front wall 11. The lower end portion of the engaging piece 17 bent outward is for hooking a finger to open the upper case.

Both side frame portions 19a. Of the frame-shaped upper wall. The side plate 20 is bent below 19b, and the support plate 21 is bent inward from both side plates 20 to form a receiving groove 22 for positioning and positioning the voting card. The voting card 1 inserted by bending the rear plate 24 downward from the rear frame portion 23 of the upper wall 16 is positioned. A support shaft 25 is projectingly provided at the rear ends of both side plates 20, and a shaft hole 25a is provided at the rear end portions of both side walls 12 of the lower case to pivotally attach the both.

A pressing plate 26 is arranged between the two accommodation grooves 22 of the upper case. A pair of through holes 27 are formed on the lower surface of the central rear portion of the pressing plate 26, and a pair of through holes 28 are formed on the upper surface of the bottom wall 10. Then, both ends of the coil spring 29 are inserted into the upper and lower through holes 27, 28 to urge the pressing plate 26 upward. The coil spring 29 also prevents the upper case 9 from being opened excessively.

A guide plate 31 having a slit 30 is fixed to a rear cutout portion of one side frame portion 19b of the frame-shaped upper wall, and a lever 32 having a cross-section V-shape is attached to the slit 30. A friction material such as a rubber plate is adhered to the lower surface of the lever 32.

As shown in FIG. 1, a peripheral edge of a transparent plate 34 made of a synthetic resin material or the like is adhered to the lower surface of the frame upper wall 16. The transparent plate 34 is provided with through holes 35 of the same shape at positions aligned with the mark marking portions 7 of the inserted voting card 1.

When the voting card 1 is inserted into both accommodation grooves 22 between the pressing plate 26 of the opened upper case 9 and the frame-shaped upper wall, and then the upper case 9 is closed, the voting card 1 presses the pressing plate 26. Then, the mark writing portion 7 is aligned with the through hole 35. Those who are willing to purchase a betting ticket look through the type of card in the transparent plate, the frame number, etc., and make a mark, and mark the selected number and the through hole of the amount section.

When attempting to take out the voting card from the storage case 2, push the lever 32 with your finger to move it to the outlet side, and the voting card 1 that is urged upward by the pressing plate is partially moved by the frictional force of the lever. Is pushed out of the outlet. All you have to do is pull out this pushed part.

The outlet 13 is a gap between the notch provided on the front wall 11 of the lower case and the lower surface of the front frame portion 18 of the frame-shaped upper wall 16 and having a thickness of about 1.5 times the thickness of the voting card. Therefore, only the best one voting card is pushed out.

[0024]

[Effect] Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

When the mark is written on the voting card housed from the transparent plate, even a person who is clumsy in writing can mark the hole so that it can be fit in the mark portion without error by describing the through hole as a ruler. In addition, even if the description sticks out from the through hole by writing with the elbow floating in a standing position or the arm is pushed by a person next to each other, it sticks out on the transparent plate and sticks out of the mark on the card. Since it is not described, it is possible to input it to the terminal securely.

The voting card can hold about 30 pieces required at the same time to purchase and enjoy the horse racing ticket of the day, and the exit of one voting card marked by one lever operation It is possible to withdraw more, and even to the lowest voting card, if necessary.

Even when the mark is printed on the voting cards stored in the storage case, after the required number of cards have been used, the voting cards may become dirty, wrinkled, or fold while the unused cards are stored in the case. It can be input to the terminal with certainty even if it is used at a later date without getting stuck. Therefore, it rarely becomes unusable and unusable, and it has many useful effects such as not being thrown into a passageway or other places of a conventional racetrack and destroying the environment.
