Abstract

PURPOSE:To enhance a dustproof property and to facilitate an opening and closing operation by turnably providing a lid part for opening and closing an opening part on this opening part formed in one surface of a case main body in a bag shape for housing a cassette tape. CONSTITUTION:Arms 3a are constituted integrally with the lid part 3 on both sides in its lateral direction, and are engaged with the inner sides of the opening part 4 of the case main body 2. A projecting part 6 is outward projectingly provided at the tip of each arm 3a, while two recessed parts 7 and 8 are provided on the inner side of each side panel 2 of the case main body 2. Then, when the projecting parts 6 are engaged with the recessed parts 7, the lid part 3 is completely closed, and when the projecting parts 6 are engaged with the recessed parts 8, the lid part 3 is fully opened. In this case, since the opening part 4 is closed by the lid part 3 under the state of housing the cassette tape in the case main body 2, a dustproof effect can be enhanced.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cassette tape case for storing video cassette tapes and audio cassette tapes.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a video cassette tape is stored in a paper box-shaped case, and an audio cassette tape is in a hard case in which a plastic lid is rotatably attached to a plastic case body. It was stored in.

[0003]

According to the above-mentioned conventional case for a video cassette tape, there is a problem that the cassette tape can be easily taken in and out, but the dustproof property is low. According to the conventional case for audio cassette tape, the case body is held with one hand and the other hand,
Since the lid has to be opened and closed, there is a problem that it is difficult to take in and out the cassette tape. Further, depending on the part that holds the case body, the lid may unintentionally open, and the cassette inside may pop out and drop.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a cassette tape case having high dust resistance, good operability of opening and closing the lid, and capable of smoothly inserting and removing the cassette tape. The purpose is to

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a cassette tape case 1 according to claim 1 has a bag-like case main body 2 which is open on one side and accommodates a cassette tape, and a case main body 2. It is characterized by including a lid portion 3 rotatably provided on one surface and opening and closing the opening portion 4.

A cassette tape case 1 according to claim 2
Is composed of the case body 2 and the lid portion 3 as separate bodies.
Is rotatably attached to the case main body 2 via a rotary shaft 5.

In the cassette tape case according to the third aspect, the case body 2 and the lid portion 3 are integrally formed, and the lid portion 3
Is foldably connected to the case body 2.

In the cassette tape case according to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the case body 2 and the lid portion 3 are engaged with each other to hold the lid portion 3 at a predetermined angle with respect to the case body 2. (For example, the convex portion 6 and the concave portions 7 and 8 in FIG. 1) are provided.

A cassette tape case according to a fifth aspect is characterized in that at least one of the case body 2 and the lid portion 3 is made of a transparent member.

[0010]

In the cassette tape case having the above structure,
Since the opening 4 of the case body 2 is closed by the lid 3 when the cassette tape is stored in the case body 2, the dustproof property can be enhanced. Further, the lid 3 can be opened and closed with one finger while the case body 2 is held with one hand, and operability is improved. Further, when the lid portion 3 is closed, the convex portion 6 and the concave portion 7 are engaged with each other, and when the lid portion 3 is opened, the convex portion 6 and the concave portion 8 are engaged with each other, so that the state can be maintained.

Further, by forming the case body 2 and the lid portion 3 with transparent members, it is possible to easily discriminate the type of the cassette tape stored in the case 1.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the cassette tape case of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 show the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention. 1 shows a state when the lid portion 3 attached to the case body 2 is closed, and FIG. 2 shows a state when the lid portion 3 is opened. The cassette tape case 1 is composed of a case body 2 and a lid portion 3 each made of plastic. Case body 2
Has a rectangular bag shape having an opening 4 formed on one surface, and has a size capable of accommodating a single cassette tape (not shown) therein. In this embodiment, the size of the opening 4 is the same as the long side of the cassette tape.

Arms 3a are integrally formed on both sides of the lid 3 in the width direction, and are fitted inside the opening 4 of the case body 2. In addition, the side plate 2a and the arm 3 of the case body 2
It is rotatably connected to a via a rotary shaft 5. A projecting portion 6 is provided at the tip of the arm 3a so as to project outward, and two recessed portions 7 and 8 are provided inside the side plate 2a of the case body 2. And the convex portion 6 is the concave portion 7
When fitted to, the lid 3 is fully closed and the projection 6 is recessed 8
It is designed to be fully opened when fitted to.

According to this embodiment, since the opening 4 is closed by the lid 3 when the cassette tape is stored in the case body 2, the dustproof effect can be enhanced. While holding the case body 2 with one hand,
The lid 3 can be opened and closed with a book, and operability is improved. Further, when the lid 3 is closed, the convex portion 6 is fitted and held in the concave portion 7, so that the cassette tape does not drop off. Further, the lid portion 3 is attached to the case body 2 via the rotary shaft 5.
Since it is held inside, the strength of the lid portion 3 can be improved. Further, the surface of the plastic case body 2 can be given various designs.

In the above embodiment, the lid portion 3 is rotatably connected to the case body 2 via the rotary shaft 5, but the lid portion 3 is integrally formed with the case body 2 and the connecting portion is hinge-shaped. It may be bendable. Further, the arm 3a of the lid 3 may be arranged outside the case body 2. Further, the opening 4 may be equal to the length of the cassette tape in the lateral direction and may be inserted laterally. Further, by configuring at least one of the case body 2 and the lid portion 3 with a transparent member,
The cassette tape stored in the case body 2 can be seen and the type can be discriminated.

[0017]

As described above, according to the cassette tape case of the present invention, the opening portion formed on one surface of the bag-shaped case body for storing the cassette tape is provided with the lid portion for opening and closing the opening portion. Since it is provided so as to be rotatable, it is possible to improve the dustproof property, facilitate the opening / closing operation of the lid, and prevent the cassette tape from falling out of the case.
