Description

【0001】
【技術分野】
本発明は、CD容器の改良に関し、被包装物であるCDを容器内に収容したときは確実にこれを固定して保護し、容器を開いたときは容易にこれを取り出すことができる容器を提供する。ここで、「CD」は、DVDやMDのような、同一または類似の形状のものを代表する語として用いる。
【0002】
【背景技術】
CDやMD、あるいはDVDのような光学情報メディアを輸送・保管するために使用する容器は、ディスクをそのまま、またはアクリルケースに入れた形で、1枚または複数枚を収容するものである。ディスクをそのまま収容するものは、一般に容器内におけるディスク位置の固定が不充分であり、容器の取り扱いによっては内部でディスクが動いて容器にぶつかったり、あるいはディスク相互が接触したりして、損傷を受けることがある。アクリルケースに入れた形で収容するものは、ディスクの保護という観点からは比較的安心であるが、それでもケースそのものが固定されていなければ、やはり容器内部でケースごと動いて、ケースが開いたりしてディスクが損傷を受ける危険はなくならない。
【0003】
しかし、容器内部でディスクなり、アクリルケースなりをしっかり固定してしまうと、今度は、容器を開いて被包装物を取り出すときに面倒である。
【0004】
これとは別に、ひとつの容器内に、CDとビデオテープのような異種のメディアを、ひとまとめに収容したい場合が少なくない。このとき、形状も寸法も異なる被包装物を同じケースに入れると、小さい方の被包装物はケース内で遊んでしまい、傷むことが少なくない。同様の問題は、フロッピーディスクやCDと解説書とを、ひとつの容器に納めたいような場合にも生じる。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、包装容器の内部に被包装物であるCDが収容されている間はこれを確実に固定して保持していて、容器を激しく動かしたりしても被包装物が内部で動揺したり移動したりすることがなく、一方、容器を開いて被包装物を取り出すときは、その固定が外れて、容易に取り出すことができるような包装容器を提供することにある。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の目的を達成する本発明のCD容器は、ひとつの代表例を図1ないし図4に示すように、中間板(1)を介して開閉可能に接続された表板(2)および裏板(3)を最小限の構成要素として有する包装容器であって、中間板(1)と表板(2)との接続および中間板(1)と裏板(3)との接続はヒンジ結合(4)とし、裏板の自由な端には被包装物(9)の位置決めをする、鉤(51)をもつ停止片(5)を設けるとともに、ヒンジ寄りの端には弾性と可撓性とを有する材料で製造した、鉤(61)をもつ係止片(6)を設け、中間板の係止片の後方に相当する位置に突起(7)を設け、被包装物を収容して包装容器を閉じたとき、この突起(7)が係止片(6)に接触してこれを前方に押しやることにより、係止片(6)がその鉤(61)をもって被包装物(9)を固定するとともに、停止片(5)がその鉤(51)をもって被包装物(9)を固定するように構成した包装容器である。
【0007】
【発明の効果】
本発明のCD容器は、箱状の容器本体に相当する裏板と蓋に相当する表板とを中間板を介して接続した構造とし、裏板に表板を合わせて容器を閉じるときは、中間板に設けた突起が係止片を前方に押しやることで、係止片の鉤が被包装物であるCDの周縁部を固定するとともに、停止片(5)の鉤(51)もまたCDの周縁部を固定するという機構が働き、しっかりと固定が行なわれる。表板を開いた状態では、弾性および可撓性を有する材料で製造した係止片はもとの形状に戻り、被包装物を出し入れするのに、まったく妨げにならない。このようにして、被包装物の出し入れが容易であって、しかもその固定が確実なCD容器が実現する。
【0008】
【発明を実施するための最良の形態】
図1ないし図4に示した態様は、CDとビデオテープとをひとまとめに収容するための包装容器である。したがって、外形は相対的に大きいビデオテープに合わせて作ってあり、その内部で、CDを固定する構造になっている。この包装容器においては、図2に見るように、表板(2)および裏板(3)が、ともにヒンジ部分を除く3辺の周縁から立ち上がる側壁(22〜24および32〜34)を備えた浅い箱の形状を有する。これら側壁(22〜24および32〜34)は、容器を閉じたとき、各側壁の端が突き合わされる構造であってもよいし、一方の側壁の一部または全部が、他方の側壁の内部に入る構造であってもよい。この例では、図4Bに見るように、浅い方の側壁すなわち表板から延びる側壁(22〜24)の全部が、深い方の側壁すなわち裏板から延びる側壁(32〜34)の内側に入る構成であり、表板(2)および裏板(3)の自由な端(21および31)に、包装容器を閉じた状態に保つ係合手段を設けてある。この係合手段の作用は、図4Aおよび4Bに示すとおりであって、表板の側壁(23)に設けた突条(25)が、裏板の側壁(33)に設けた溝(35)に嵌まることで係合が完成する。
【0009】
本発明の包装容器を製造する材料は、任意に選択することができるが、ヒンジ結合が耐久性を示す材料として知られる、ポリプロピレンが最も有力である。ポリプロピレンは加工性にすぐれたプラスチックであるから、包装容器全体をポリプロピレンの射出成形により製造し、中間板(1)と表板(2)との接続もヒンジ結合とすることが有利である。
【0010】
本発明にしたがう包装容器のいまひとつの例を示せば、図5ないし図7に示した構造を有する、CDまたはDVDを収容するためのものがある。この、包装容器においても、停止片(5)も鉤(51)を備え、係合手段の係合により停止片(5)が前方に押しやられて、係止片(6)と同様に被包装物を固定する作用を有することが特徴である。その裏板(3)には、CDまたはDVDを固定するための周部位置決め手段(8A)および中心係合手段(8B)を設けてある。
【0011】
従来のCDのようなディスクのケースは、ハブの立ち上がり部分の先端を内側に曲げ、放射状にスリットを入れてバネとして働くようにしてある。ディスクを収納するときは、ディスク中心の孔をハブに合わせ、押し込んで、上記のバネの力を利用して固定するようになっており、取り出すときは、ハブの中央部を押してバネをゆるめるという操作が必要であった。ハブの放射状をしているバネの力が強すぎると、取り出すときにディスクに大きな力が加わることがあり、反対に弱すぎれば固定が不充分になるおそれがあった。
【0012】
これに対し、図5〜図7に示した本発明の包装容器においては、ハブの部分は単にディスク中央の孔が通り、横方向への移動を防ぐというだけの存在であって、ディスクの抜き差しには直接かかわらない。固定は、上述のように裏板(3)の両端にある停止片(5)と係止片(6)の鉤(51,61)により確実に行なわれる。蓋である表板(2)を開くことにより、停止片と係止片とは元の位置に復帰して、それまで固定していたディスクを開放するから、従来のようにハブを押して取り出す必要がなく、片手でディスクを取り出すことができる。もちろん、ハブの部分のバネの強弱を問題にする必要はない。
【0013】
上述した実施例のほかにも、本発明の包装容器には、さまざまな態様が可能である。

【Technical field】
The present invention relates to an improvement of a CD container, and a CD that is to be packaged is securely fixed and protected when accommodated in the container, and a container that can be easily removed when the container is opened. provide. Here, “CD” is used as a word representing the same or similar shape such as DVD and MD.
[0002]
[Background]
Containers used for transporting and storing optical information media such as CDs, MDs, and DVDs contain one or more discs as they are or in an acrylic case. In general, a disk that accommodates a disk is insufficiently fixed in the position of the disk in the container, and depending on the handling of the container, the disk may move inside and hit the container, or the disks may come into contact with each other. I may receive it. What is housed in an acrylic case is relatively safe from the viewpoint of disk protection, but if the case itself is still not fixed, it will still move inside the container and the case will open. The risk of damaging the disc is not lost.
[0003]
However, if the disc and the acrylic case are firmly fixed inside the container, this time is troublesome when the container is opened and the package is taken out.
[0004]
Apart from this, it is often the case that different types of media such as CDs and video tapes are stored together in a single container. At this time, if objects to be packaged having different shapes and dimensions are put in the same case, the smaller object to be packaged is played in the case and often damaged. The same problem occurs when it is desired to store a floppy disk or CD and a manual in one container.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The object of the present invention is to securely hold and hold a CD as a packaged object inside the packaging container, even if the container is moved violently. An object of the present invention is to provide a packaging container that is not shaken or moved, and that can be easily removed when the container is opened and the object to be packaged is removed.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the CD container of the present invention that achieves the above object comprises a front plate (2) and a back plate that are openably and closably connected via an intermediate plate (1). A packaging container having (3) as a minimum component , wherein the connection between the intermediate plate (1) and the front plate (2) and the connection between the intermediate plate (1) and the back plate (3) are hinged ( 4), and a free end of the back plate is provided with a stop piece (5) having a hook (51) for positioning the article to be packaged (9), and an end near the hinge is elastic and flexible. A latching piece (6) having a flange (61) is provided, a protrusion (7) is provided at a position corresponding to the rear of the latching piece of the intermediate plate, and a packaged article is accommodated and packaged. When the container is closed, the protrusion (7) comes into contact with the locking piece (6) and pushes it forward, so that the locking piece (6) has its hook (6 ) Is fixed to the packaged articles (9) with a configuration the packaging container to secure the stop piece (5) is to be packaged with the hooks (51) (9).
[0007]
【The invention's effect】
The CD container of the present invention has a structure in which a back plate corresponding to a box-shaped container main body and a front plate corresponding to a lid are connected via an intermediate plate, and when the front plate is aligned with the back plate and the container is closed, The protrusion provided on the intermediate plate pushes the locking piece forward, so that the hook of the locking piece fixes the peripheral edge of the CD as the package, and the hook (51) of the stop piece (5) is also CD. The mechanism of fixing the peripheral edge of the work works and is firmly fixed. When the front plate is opened, the locking piece made of an elastic and flexible material returns to its original shape and does not hinder the loading / unloading of the package. In this way, it is possible to realize a CD container in which an object to be packaged can be easily taken in and out and which is fixed securely.
[0008]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
The embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is a packaging container for collectively storing a CD and a video tape. Therefore, the outer shape is made to fit a relatively large video tape, and the CD is fixed inside. In this packaging container, as shown in FIG. 2, the front plate (2) and the back plate (3) are each provided with side walls (22-24 and 32-34) that rise from the peripheral edges of three sides excluding the hinge portion. It has a shallow box shape. These side walls (22 to 24 and 32 to 34) may have a structure in which the ends of the respective side walls are abutted when the container is closed, and a part or all of one side wall is inside the other side wall. It may be a structure that enters. In this example, as shown in FIG. 4B, all of the shallow side walls or side walls (22 to 24) extending from the front plate fall inside the deep side walls or side walls (32 to 34) extending from the back plate. Engaging means for keeping the packaging container closed is provided at the free ends (21 and 31) of the front plate (2) and the back plate (3). 4A and 4B, the protrusion (25) provided on the side wall (23) of the front plate has a groove (35) provided on the side wall (33) of the back plate. Engagement is completed by fitting.
[0009]
The material for producing the packaging container of the present invention can be selected arbitrarily, but polypropylene is the most prominent material known as a material for which the hinge connection exhibits durability. Since polypropylene is a plastic with excellent processability, it is advantageous that the entire packaging container is manufactured by injection molding of polypropylene, and the connection between the intermediate plate (1) and the front plate (2) is also hinged.
[0010]
Another example of a packaging container according to the present invention is for accommodating a CD or DVD having the structure shown in FIGS. Also in this packaging container , the stop piece (5) is also provided with a hook (51), and the stop piece (5) is pushed forward by the engagement of the engaging means, so that it is packaged in the same manner as the locking piece (6). It is characterized by having an action of fixing things. The back plate (3) is provided with a peripheral positioning means (8A) and a center engaging means (8B) for fixing the CD or DVD.
[0011]
In the case of a conventional disc such as a CD, the tip of the rising portion of the hub is bent inward, and slits are radially formed so as to act as a spring. When storing the disc, the hole at the center of the disc is aligned with the hub, pushed in, and fixed using the force of the spring described above. When removing the disc, the center part of the hub is pushed to loosen the spring. Operation was necessary. If the force of the spring that radiates the hub is too strong, a large force may be applied to the disk when it is taken out. On the other hand, if it is too weak, there is a possibility that the fixing becomes insufficient.
[0012]
On the other hand, in the packaging container according to the present invention shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the hub portion simply passes through the hole in the center of the disc and only prevents movement in the lateral direction. Is not directly involved. As described above, the fixing is surely performed by the stop pieces (5) and the hooks (51, 61) of the locking pieces (6) at both ends of the back plate (3). By opening the cover plate (2), the stop piece and the locking piece return to their original positions and the previously fixed disc is released, so it is necessary to push out the hub as before. The disc can be removed with one hand. Of course, there is no need to consider the strength of the spring at the hub.
[0013]
In addition to the above-described embodiments, various aspects are possible for the packaging container of the present invention.
