Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a storage device for a disk case, and more particularly to a storage device for a mini disk case.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, various recording media have been developed and proposed. One of them is a so-called mini-disc having a diameter of 64 mm. In this apparatus, a mini disk made of a magneto-optical recording medium is put in a plastic cartridge, and furthermore, the cartridge containing the mini disk is stored in a disk case and sold one by one. I have. By the way, usually, when a mini disk is purchased, at the time of purchase, the cartridge containing the mini disk is taken out of the disk case, and a plurality of cartridges containing the mini disk are dedicated to the purchaser. Stored in a separate plastic case that can be stored. Alternatively, when a mini-disc is purchased, the cartridge containing the mini-disc is stored in a disk case and stored in a large plastic molding box or the like which can store a plurality of sheets as it is. I have.

[0003]

However, the above-mentioned storage method has various inconveniences. For example, the above-mentioned mini-disc is stored in another plastic case to store a plurality of mini-discs. In this case, the title of music recorded on each mini-disc is usually written in the form of character information on the surface of a disc case containing one mini-disc. If the cartridge containing the mini-disc is taken out of the case and only the cartridge containing the mini-disc is stored in another case, it is difficult to see the case alone. However, there is an inconvenience that the title of music recorded on the mini-disc cannot be known as character information or the like. In this case, it is conceivable to rewrite character information such as music titles in the other case when storing it in another case.
The rewriting itself is inconvenient, and even if it is rewritten, it is inconvenient to collate with a plurality of stored mini-discs. In addition, when storing in the above-mentioned plastic large molded box or the like, the box itself becomes large, inconveniencing the storage place, and furthermore, taking advantage of compactness, which is one of the advantages of mini discs. There is a problem that is not done. In view of the above, the present invention provides a storage device that allows a user to visually recognize the title of music recorded on a mini-disc as character information and to compactly store the disc, particularly, a mini-disc. It is.

[0004]

As a result of various studies to solve the above problems, the present inventor has found that the outer surface of a disk case for accommodating a cartridge containing a mini disk is provided. Note that there is a concave streak portion, and furthermore, there is a through hole at one location of the concave streak portion, and in order to use this, a U-shaped plastic molding frame body is formed, On both inner surfaces of a pair of opposed U-shaped frames, locking projections are provided to be fitted with through holes provided at one place of the concave ridges on the outer surface of the disc case. On the side surfaces of the pair of opposed U-shaped frames of the above-mentioned molded frame, a disk case
A pair of holding walls for holding a disk are provided to manufacture a disk case storage device, and a disk case containing a cartridge containing a mini disk is inserted into the above-described through hole. The disk case is locked by fitting the disk case with the locking projection, and the disk case is held in the holding wall. The disk case containing the cartridge containing the mini disk can be stored as it is,
As a result, the present invention has been completed by finding a storage device capable of visually recognizing the song titles and the like of music recorded on the mini-disc as character information and storing it compactly.

That is, the present invention comprises a U-shaped molding frame, and a pair of opposed U-shaped frames of the molding frame are provided with concave ridges on the outer surface of the disk case. And a pair of retaining projections that fit into the through holes provided at one of the positions, and a pair of opposite sides of the pair of U-shaped frames of the above-mentioned molded frame holding a disc case. The present invention relates to a disk case storage device provided with a holding wall.
