Disk storage case for a recording medium

Abstract

A disk storage case for a recording medium, comprising: a case body divided at least into two parts including a top case part and a bottom case part hinged together to assume a double-spread configuration when opened; and a holder member provided on the case part for gripping disk 'D' from a diametric direction thereof, wherein said holder member is provided with a groove formed along an inner peripheral edge of a circular arc thereof for fittingly receiving an outer peripheral edge of the disk to thereby grip the disk inserted from the opening side of the circular arc by the inner peripheral edge thereof, and a window section 'W' disposed in a front wall of the case body so as to allow for the disk to be inserted therethrough into the groove formed in the holder member while keeping the case in its closed state.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a case adapted to be opened and closed to accommodate therein a disc such as a CD or DVD (hereinafter simply referred to as "disk") as a recording medium. Background technique [0002] Various discs, including CDs and DVDs, are commonly used as recording media for video images, music and computer programs. Because these discs are used in optical recording systems, it is necessary to protect their recording surfaces, so envelope-type storage sleeves or storage cases are necessary for them. [0003] Wherein, the latter or storage box has a construction in which an engagement protrusion, which can be suitably reduced in diameter against elastic force, is installed in a flat box with a pivotally connected cover member so that its top surface is open, The disc is secured in the case by pressing or snapping the engaging protrusion into a central hole of the disc. [0004] On the one hand, an invention has been proposed so t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, in the invention disclosed in cited Patent Document 1, a problem is still encountered in that it requires a moving mechanism to prevent the disc from slipping because the disc is inserted and held between the interlocking member and the holding member. out (this body is identified in the citation with reference number 6), leading to its complex structure

In addition, in the invention disclosed in the cited Non-Patent Document 1, a problem is also encountered that it is difficult to perform an operation in which the insertion of the disc is defined by only a relatively small-diameter circular-arc arm clamped in the arm. narrow opening side of

In addition, both of the above-mentioned inventions have the disadvantage of inconvenient operation, because the operation of accommodating the disc in the case can only be performed when the case is opened.
