Description

  The present invention relates to a storage case for thin objects, and in particular, by simply sliding the storage case, it does not directly apply force to the contents and facilitates taking out and protects the thin objects during storage. The present invention relates to a reinforced thin article storage case.

In recent years, electronic devices have been miniaturized. In particular, memory has an increased recording capacity, but its outer shape is extremely thin and small. A thin article such as a memory disk can be easily accommodated in a storage case. However, since the article is formed thin, it may be difficult to remove a stored article from the case by placing a finger on the storage article. For example, in a storage case for an SD card, a concave portion for hooking a finger formed in a concave shape is provided in order to make it easy to take out with a finger or a nail when taking out from the storage portion.
In addition, when the storage case is thinly formed to match the stored article, the durability against impacts such as dropping is weakened, and a member made of a material with high protection performance is used for the storage case to strengthen protection. Yes.

In the conventional storage case, a hollow portion is provided to make it easier to put a finger on, but there is still a difficulty that it is harder to take out than a thick article because there is no thickness in the stored article as in the case of an SD card. Yes. If you try to remove it forcibly, an excessively large force may be applied to the article, or the area where you can put your finger on the article is small, so when removing the contents, the force is concentrated on the small area. As a result, a thin article such as a memory disk may be deformed.
In addition, since it is necessary to provide a finger-hanging portion, there is a tendency for a storage case to be formed larger than the stored item even for thin and small articles, and a compact design has been desired. In addition, when a material having high protection performance is used for the storage case, there is a problem that the storage case is expensive.

A rear stopper 34 made of a protruding piece projecting from the rear end of the upper surface of the lower box in order to fix the thin container, and a front stopper 36 made of a protruding piece protruding from the tip facing the rear stopper, An inclined surface 32 with the upper surface of the lower box inclined upward from the rear stopper to the lower box top 35 located near the rear, and a gentle slope 3 inclined gently downward from the lower box top to the front stopper When a configuration that is formed from.

In addition, the storage case slides the lower box 30 containing the thin container, so that the thin container accommodated is pushed out by the rear stopper 34 and moves to the front of the upper lid, and the rear of the thin container is the top lid top portion. The rear end 50b of the stored item 50, which has lost its refuge by moving further forward, after being sandwiched between the upper portion 25 and the lower box top portion 35, is inclined downward in the downward direction formed in the lower box. in conjunction with the inserted into the slope portion 42 formed, stored item front 50a is diagonally so as to easily take out along the upper lid inclined surface 22 which is inclined upwardly formed in the upper lid away engagement of the front stopper 36 It is the structure lifted in the direction and extracted from the case.
Further, when the thin container is accommodated, the gentle slope of the upper lid and the lower part are sandwiched between the gentle slope 21 formed on the bottom surface of the upper lid and the gentle slope 31 formed on the top surface of the lower box. The width of the box with the gentle slope is formed to be substantially the same as the thickness of the thin container, and the width of the container is substantially the same as the width of the thin container or slightly wider than the width of the thin container .

Since the thin article storage case according to the present invention is configured as described in detail above, the following effects are obtained.
1. By forming the internal shape of the storage case on an inclined surface, the thin container can be automatically extracted simply by sliding the lower box relative to the upper lid and pulling it out. Convenient. In addition, since the storage portion has an inclined surface structure having a top portion, protection is strengthened so as to withstand an impact force applied to the storage case from the outside. Furthermore, even if it is a small accommodation thing, it is not necessary to provide the hollow part which applies a finger | toe, and since it is a slide type, the compact design according to the thin article to accommodate is possible.

2. By simply sliding the lower box, the stored contents are discharged to the outside with the front end automatically lifted up, so when removing the excessive load on the thin contents Never give.
3. Since the case housing part is formed in the same shape as the thin article, it is easy to accommodate and is stored in a pressed state during accommodation, so that the thin article does not shake inside due to the vibration of the storage case. The protection performance is high regardless of the material. In addition, a compact and thin design that matches the article is possible.

Hereinafter, a thin article storage case according to the present invention will be described in detail according to an embodiment shown in the drawings.

FIG. 4 is a top view and a cross-sectional view of the storage case when taking out the SD card of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the storage case 10 of the present invention includes an upper lid 20 and a lower box 30, and an SD card that is a stored article 50 is stored in the storage portion. The upper lid 20 and the lower box 30 are slidably attached on the lateral side. The SD card 50 accommodated is configured to be automatically taken out from the case without using a finger or a nail by sliding the lower box 30 relative to the upper lid.

The storage case 10 according to the present invention makes it easy to take out the SD card accommodated in the structure on the structure by forming the internal ceiling surface and the floor surface as an accommodating portion on the inclined surface. For this reason, the material of the upper lid 20 and the lower box 30 is not particularly limited, and members of various materials such as synthetic resin, metal, and wood can be used.
Moreover, it is possible to change the shape of a storage part suitably, hold | maintaining the structure of this invention with the magnitude | size or shape of a storage article.

The internal structure of the thin article storage case of the present invention will be described in detail based on the embodiment shown in FIG.
The bottom surface 20c of the upper lid 20 forms the ceiling surface of the accommodating portion 40, and extends downward from the rear end 20b of the upper lid bottom surface to the linear top lid top portion 25 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction located at a position slightly close to the front end 20a. A gentle slope 21 that is gently inclined and an inclined surface 22 that is inclined upward from the top lid top portion 25 to the top lid tip 20a are formed. A rear side surface 28 is provided at the rear end. The upper lid 20 is attached so that the convex portions projecting on the lateral side surfaces engage with the grooves recessed on the side surfaces of the lower box 30 so as to be slidable with each other.

The lower box 30 is provided with a rear stopper 34 made of a protruding piece projecting from the rear end of the upper surface of the lower box in order to fix the accommodated SD card 50. A front stopper 36 is projected. Further, on the upper surface of the lower box, which is the bottom surface of the housing portion 40, an inclined surface 32 inclined upward from the rear stopper 34 to the linear lower box top 35 located near the rear, and from the lower box top 35 to the front stopper 36 and a gentle slope 31 inclined gently downward.
Further, a front side surface 38 that engages with the upper lid 20 when the SD card is received is provided at the tip. Grooves are cut in the lateral side surface, and they are attached so as to be slidable with each other by engaging with protrusions protruding from the side surface of the upper lid 20.

  The storage unit 40 is a storage space composed of an upper lid and a lower box for storing the SD card 50 that is a stored product, and has conventionally been a storage unit having a cubic shape that is substantially the same as a thin plate-shaped cube that is a stored product. In the thin article storage case according to the present invention, a linear upper lid top portion 25 orthogonal to the longitudinal direction is provided at a position close to the tip of the upper lid that becomes the ceiling surface of the housing portion, not a horizontal plane, and the top portion is provided with the top portion. It is formed on the inclined surface. Similarly, the bottom surface of the housing portion formed by the lower box is also formed on an inclined surface. For this reason, the intensity | strength with respect to the impact of a storage case is high.

  In this embodiment, the SD card 50, which is a stored article, is composed of a thin small memory. The SD card 50 is an example of a thin article housed in a case. It is also possible to create a case that accommodates other thinly formed articles, such as other memory cards and IC cards, by appropriately changing the thickness and width of the case accommodating portion according to the accommodated articles. .

As shown in FIG. 2, the front stopper 36 formed in the lower box is not inclined to be perpendicular to the bottom surface so that the stored memory disk can be easily removed while sliding, but is slightly inclined. It has a triangular prism shape with a triangular cross section. The front stopper 36 prevents the SD card 50 accommodated therein from vibrating due to an external impact, and fixes the accommodated item, and the memory disk extends along the inclined surface 22 formed in front of the upper lid. Any projecting piece that has a cross-sectional shape that is circular, square, or the like may be used.
Similarly, the rear stopper 34 prevents the SD card accommodated therein from vibration caused by an external impact. Furthermore, since the rear stopper 34 pushes out the SD card 50 when the lower box 30 slides, the height is slightly lower than the thickness of the SD card so that the lower box 30 can be slid out along the gentle slope 21 formed on the bottom surface of the upper lid. Is formed.

In the accommodating portion 40, the width of the gentle slope 21 of the upper lid and the gentle slope 31 of the lower box is formed to be substantially the same thickness as the SD card 50, and the SD card 50 is formed on the bottom surface of the upper lid when accommodated. It is sandwiched between a gentle slope 21 and a gentle slope 31 formed on the upper surface of the lower box. Further, the lateral width of the accommodating portion is formed to be the same width as the lateral width of the SD card 50 in order to strengthen protection against lateral vibration.
Although the width of the storage portion can be formed wider than the width of the SD card, the protection is strengthened by adjusting the shape of the article to be stored so that the contents are not shaken by external vibration. Further, it is possible to further strengthen the protection by using an impact absorbing material for the accommodating portion.

The operation and configuration of the storage case 10 and the SD card 50 of the present invention when the SD card shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is taken out will be described in detail.
When the lower box 30 containing the SD card is slid horizontally in the front end direction, the stored SD card 50 is pushed out by the rear stopper 34 so that the ceiling is the gentle slope 21 of the upper lid and the bottom is the loose of the lower box. In a state of being sandwiched between the slopes 31, it moves forward. When the rear stopper 34 of the lower box approaches the front end of the upper lid, the rear end 50b of the SD card collides with the gentle slope 21 of the upper lid and loses escape (FIG. 3A).

  When the lower box 30 is further moved forward, the rear end 50b of the SD card is horizontally held between the upper lid top portion 25 and the lower box top portion 35, but the upper lid top portion 25, the lower box top portion 35, and both vertices are The rear end 50b of the SD card that has lost its escape when the upper lid top portion 25 moves rearward from the position of the lower box top portion 35 as shown in FIG. The upper lid inclined portion 22 and the lower box inclined portion 32 are pushed and inserted into the inclined portion 42 formed by the rear inclined surface 32 inclined downward with the upper lid top portion 25 and the lower box top portion 35 as fulcrums. It is. As a result, the front end 50a of the SD card 50 is lifted diagonally upward along the upper lid inclined surface 22 that is formed on the upper lid and is released from the engagement of the front stopper 36.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the SD card 50 is lifted from the storage case so that the front end can be easily taken out. The user can easily grasp the tip and remove the SD card 50 from the storage case 10 without applying force.
