[0048] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] Figures 1A to 1C This is a perspective view of storage box 1 according to the embodiment. Figures 2A-2E This is a diagram showing the storage box 1 according to the embodiment. Figure 2A This is the main view. Figure 2B It is a top view. Figure 2C It is a bottom view. Figure 2D This is the right-side view. Figure 2E This is the rear view.

[0050] Storage box 1 is used to store cards C used in card games. The cards used in card games are mostly 59mm wide and 86mm high, referred to as small size, or 63mm wide and 88mm high, referred to as standard size. In this embodiment, the card game being played uses small-sized cards C, but storage box 1 is designed to store both small-sized and standard-sized cards.

[0051] like Figures 1A to 1C , Figures 2A-2E As shown, the storage box 1 includes a box body 100 and a cover 200 that covers the box body 100. Furthermore, Figures 1A to 1C This is a simplified illustration of the appearance of storage box 1. Figures 2A-2E The following Figures 3A to 3D , Figures 4A to 4D A portion of the specific structure shown is omitted from the illustration. For example, Figures 2A to 4D The dotted lines appearing in the image are stitches representing the thread, but... Figures 1A to 1C Its illustration is omitted.

[0052] Figures 3A to 3D This is a diagram representing box 100. Figure 3A This is the main view. Figure 3B It is a top view. Figure 3C It is a bottom view. Figure 3D This is the right-side view.

[0053] The housing 100 has a rectangular bottom surface 101, a pair of opposing long side surfaces 102, and a pair of opposing short side surfaces 103, and an opening at the top. The housing 100 is constructed by assembling the bottom surface 101 and the side surfaces 102 as one component, and mounting the side surfaces 103 as other components on it.

[0054] The dimensions of the enclosure 100 are designed as follows: length l = 266mm, width w = 110mm, height h = 82mm, and thickness approximately 4.9mm. Additionally, as... Figure 1A As shown, card C is stored in case 100 with its long side facing down. In most cases, to protect each card C individually, it is placed in a sleeve-like pouch, allowing for storage even when the cards are inside the sleeve. Additionally, it can also be used to store multiple cards in packaging or card cases 3. As described above, both small and standard-sized cards can be stored in case 100.

[0055] Additionally, the small box 2 described later is stored in the box 100.

[0056] A cutout 104 is formed at the upper end of a pair of side surfaces 102. The cutout 104 has a horizontal edge 104a, one level lower than the upper edge of the side surface 102, and a beveled edge 104b connecting the two ends of the horizontal edge 104a to the upper edge of the side surface 102 at its central portion along the length direction of the side surface 102. By providing the cutout 104 in this way, it is easy to grasp and remove the cards C, packaging, card boxes 3, and small boxes 2 stored in the box 100. Furthermore, by lowering the side surface 102 at its central portion along the length direction of the box 100, the strength of that portion of the side surface 102 can be ensured.

[0057] In addition, such as Figure 1A As shown, four magnets 105 are arranged at equal intervals along the length of a pair of side surfaces 102. In each side surface 102, two magnets 105 on one side and two magnets 105 on the other side are arranged linearly symmetrically, separated by a central position along the length of the side surface 102. The magnets 105 are located inside the side surface 102 and are not visible externally; the side surface 102 is a flat surface.

[0058] The case 100 has a double-layered structure with an inner and an outer side. The outer side of the case 100 is made of polyurethane, which is soft and flexible and has a texture similar to natural leather. In addition, the inner side of the case 100 is made of polyester, which has a texture similar to fabric.

[0059] Figures 4A to 4D This is a diagram representing a cover of 200. Figure 4A This is the main view. Figure 4B It is a top view. Figure 4CIt is a bottom view. Figure 4D This is the right-side view.

[0060] The cover 200 is a rectangular flat plate with rounded corners. The cover 200 has a bottom portion 201, a first side portion 202 that is flexibly connected to the bottom portion 201 via a connecting portion 207, a first top portion 203 that is flexibly connected to the first side portion 202 via a connecting portion 208, a second side portion 204 that is flexibly connected to the bottom portion 201 via a connecting portion 209, a second top portion 205 that is flexibly connected to the second side portion 204 via a connecting portion 210, and a third side portion 206 that is flexibly connected to the second top portion 205 via a connecting portion 211, and can be unfolded into a flat plate shape. The portions 201 to 206 have a certain thickness, providing strength that prevents them from easily bending. The connecting portions 207 to 211 are thinner than the portions 201 to 206, thus allowing them to be bent.

[0061] The dimensions of the cover 200 are designed with a length L of 605mm, a width W of 266mm, and a thickness of approximately 4.3mm.

[0062] like Figure 1A As shown, on the first side surface 202, four magnets 212 are arranged at equal intervals along its length, matching the magnets 105 on the side surface 102 of the housing 100. In the first side surface 202, two magnets 212 on one side and two magnets 212 on the other side are arranged linearly symmetrically, separated by a central position along the length of the first side surface 202. The magnets 212 are located inside the first side surface 202 and are not visible externally; the first side surface 202 is a flat surface.

[0063] Furthermore, on the second side surface 204, four magnets 213 are provided at equal intervals along its length, matching the magnets 105 on the side surface 102 of the housing 100. In the second side surface 204, two magnets 213 on one side and two magnets 213 on the other side are arranged linearly symmetrically, separated by a central position along the length of the second side surface 204. The magnets 213 are located inside the second side surface 204 and are not visible externally; the second side surface 204 is a flat surface.

[0064] Furthermore, on the third side surface 206, four magnets 214 are provided at equal intervals along its length, matching the magnets 212 on the first side surface 202. In the third side surface 206, two magnets 214 on one side and two magnets 214 on the other side are arranged linearly symmetrically, separated by a central position along the length of the third side surface 206. The magnets 214 are located inside the third side surface 206 and are not visible externally; the third side surface 206 is a flat surface.

[0065] When using cover 200 to cover box 100, such as Figure 1A As shown, the bottom surface 101 of the box 100 is placed on the bottom surface 201 of the cover 200.

[0066] Next, as Figure 1B As shown, the first side portion 202 of the cover 200 is positioned as one of the two side portions 102 of the housing 100. At this time, magnets 105 and 212 are positioned opposite each other, and their magnetic force can fix the first side portion 202 along the side portion 102. Furthermore, this fixation can be released by separating the first side portion 202 from the side portion 102 with a predetermined force. Similarly, as... Figure 1B As shown, the second side portion 204 of the cover 200 is positioned along another side 102 of a pair of side portions 102 of the housing 100. At this time, magnets 105 and 213 are positioned opposite each other, and their magnetic force can fix the second side portion 204 along the side portion 102. Furthermore, this fixation can be released by separating the second side portion 204 from the side portion 102 with a predetermined force. This structure restricts the relative movement of the housing 100 and the cover 200, preventing displacement. Although it is described as magnets 105 and 212 being opposite each other and magnets 105 and 213 being opposite each other, their positions can be slightly offset.

[0067] Next, as Figure 1C As shown, the top of the housing 100 is covered by the first top surface portion 203. Furthermore, although not shown in the diagram, the second top surface portion 205 is aligned with the first top surface portion 203, and the third side surface portion 206 is aligned with the first side surface portion 202. At this time, magnets 212 and 214 are positioned opposite each other, and their magnetic force allows the first side surface portion 202 to be fixed along the state of the third side surface portion 206. Moreover, this fixation can be released by separating the third side surface portion 206 from the first side surface portion 202 with a predetermined force. This structure restricts the relative movement of the side surfaces 202 and 206 of the cover 200, preventing displacement. Furthermore, although magnets 212 and 214 are described as opposing each other, their positions can be slightly offset.

[0068] Thus, when the cover 200 is used to cover the box 100, such as Figures 1A to 1C , Figures 2A-2EAs shown, the bottom surface 201 of the cover 200 covers the bottom surface 101 of the box 100. The first side surface 202 of the cover 200 covers the side surface 102 of the box 100. The first top surface 203 of the cover 200 covers the top of the box 100. The second side surface 204 of the cover 200 covers the side surface 102 of the box 100. The second top surface 205 overlaps with the first top surface 203. The third side surface 206 overlaps with the first side surface 202. The width W of the cover 200 is the same as the length l of the box 100 (both are 266 mm), allowing the cover 200 to cover the surrounding area (bottom surface 101, side surface 102, and top) of the box 100 with a perfectly consistent size, effectively enclosing the box 100.

[0069] In a card battle game, players use cards C stored in the housing 100 to battle against other users. During the battle, each player faces their opponent (another user) and advances the game with cards placed in front of them. In this case, the cover 200 can be unfolded into a flat shape, with its length horizontal, and placed in front of the player as a game mat for placing their cards. In the card battle game described in this embodiment, seven cards C are placed in two rows in front of the player, arranged horizontally, and the game mat obtained by unfolding the cover 200 is designed to match this size.

[0070] The cover 200 is made of polyurethane, which is soft and flexible, with a texture similar to natural leather. Polyurethane is printable, allowing characters, patterns, and other designs to be printed on the cover 200. The cover 200 serves as the outer casing for the storage box 1 and is also used as a play mat for holding cards C, thus there is a tendency for users to request original designs. By making the cover 200 an easily printable material, a wide variety of designs can be realized.

[0071] Next, refer to Figures 5A to 8D The small box 2 is a storage box that can be stored in the box body 100.

[0072] Figure 5A , Figure 5B This is a perspective view of the small box 2 in the implementation method. Figures 6A to 6D This is a diagram showing the small box 2 in the implementation method. Figure 6A This is the main view. Figure 6B It is a top view. Figure 6C It is a bottom view. Figure 6D This is the right-side view.

[0073] Small Box 2 is used to store items such as dice, coins, and tokens used in card battle games. For example... Figure 1AAs shown, the small box 2 can be stored in the box body 100 with its long side facing the bottom.

[0074] like Figure 5A , Figure 5B , Figures 6A to 6D As shown, the small box 2 includes a box body 300 and a lid 400 that serves as the lid of the box body 300. Furthermore, Figure 5A , Figure 5B This is a simplified illustration of the appearance of the small box 2. Figures 6A to 6D The following Figures 7A to 7D , Figures 8A to 8D A portion of the specific structure shown is omitted from the illustration. For example... Figures 6A to 8D The dotted lines appearing in the image are stitches representing the thread, but... Figure 5A , Figure 5B Its illustration is omitted.

[0075] Figures 7A to 7D This is a diagram representing a 300mm enclosure. Figure 7A This is the main view. Figure 7B It is a top view. Figure 7C It is a bottom view. Figure 7D This is the right-side view.

[0076] The housing 300 has a rectangular bottom surface 301, a pair of opposing long side surfaces 302, and a pair of opposing short side surfaces 303, and an opening at the top. The housing 300 is assembled by using the bottom surface 301 and the side surfaces 302 as one component, and mounting the side surfaces 303 as other components on it.

[0077] The dimensions of the 300-cell enclosure are designed with a length l′ of 98mm, a width w′ of 66mm, a height h′ of 33mm, and a thickness of approximately 4.7mm.

[0078] A cutout 304 is formed at the upper end of a pair of side surfaces 302. The cutout 304 has a horizontal edge 304a, one level lower than the upper edge of the side surface 302, and a beveled edge 304b connecting the two ends of the horizontal edge 304a to the upper edge of the side surface 302 at its central portion along the length direction of the side surface 302. By providing the cutout 304 in this way, as described later, the smartphone SP can be supported in a manner that prevents it from shifting when it is placed upright. Furthermore, by lowering the side surface 302 at its central portion along the length direction of the housing 300, the strength of that portion of the side surface 302 can be ensured.

[0079] In addition, such as Figure 5A , Figure 5BAs shown, two magnets 305 are arranged along the long side of a pair of side surfaces 302. In each side surface 302, one magnet 305 and the other magnet 305 are arranged symmetrically along the center of the length direction of the side surface 302. The magnets 305 are disposed inside the side surface 302 and are not visible from the outside. The side surface 302 is a flat surface.

[0080] The case 300 has a double-layered construction, with an inner and outer side. The outer side of the case 300 is made of polyurethane, which is soft and flexible, and has a texture similar to natural leather. The inner side of the case 300 is made of polyester, and has a texture similar to fabric.

[0081] Figures 8A to 8D This is a diagram representing the cover body 400. Figure 8A This is the main view. Figure 8B It is a top view. Figure 8C It is a bottom view. Figure 8D This is the right-side view.

[0082] The cover 400 has a top portion 401 that covers the top of the box 300 and a pair of side portions 402 that cover a pair of side portions 302 of the box 300.

[0083] The dimensions of the cover 400 are designed as follows: length L′ is 98mm, width W′ is 75mm, height H′ is 36mm, and thickness is approximately 4mm.

[0084] like Figure 5A , Figure 5B As shown, on a pair of side portions 402, two magnets 403 are arranged along their long sides, matching the magnets 305 on the side portions 302 of the housing 300. In each side portion 402, one magnet 403 and the other magnet 403 are arranged linearly symmetrically at a position away from the center of the side portion 402 in the long direction. The magnets 403 are disposed inside the side portion 402 and are not visible externally, making the side portion 402 a flat surface.

[0085] When covering box 300 with lid 400, such as Figure 5A As shown, the pair of side portions 402 of the cover 400 are positioned along the pair of side portions 302 of the box 300. At this time, magnets 305 and 403 are positioned opposite each other, and their magnetic force can fix the pair of side portions 402 together in this position. Furthermore, this fixation can be released by separating the side portions 402 from the side portions 302 with a predetermined force. The length L′ of the cover 400 is the same as the length l′ of the box 300 (both are 98 mm), allowing the cover 400 to cover the pair of side portions 302 and the top of the box 300 with exactly the same dimensions. Although it is described that magnets 305 and 403 are opposite each other, their positions can be slightly offset.

[0086] In addition, such as Figure 5B As shown, with the end of the housing 300 abutting against the top surface 401 of the cover 400, and the side portion 402 upright relative to the housing 300 and the cover 400 placed thereon, in each of the pair of side portions 302 and 402, one of the two magnets 305 and one of the two magnets 403 are in a facing position. This allows the ends of the pair of side portions 402 to be fixed along the state of the ends of the pair of side portions 302. Furthermore, this fixing can be released by separating the side portions 402 from the side portions 302 with a predetermined force.

[0087] Thus, with the side panel 402 upright relative to the housing 300 and the cover 400 placed on top, a smartphone SP can be placed on the cutout 304 of the housing 300 and leaned against the cover 400. In card battle games, there are situations where players reduce each other's points through battles, and sometimes applications that support point calculation and display are needed. Additionally, in games with time limits, a timer display is convenient. Using the small box 2 to support the smartphone SP during card battle games makes the application screen and timer display easily observable, offering excellent convenience. Furthermore, similarly to the smartphone SP, a tablet can also be placed on the cutout 304 of the housing 300 and leaned against the cover 400.

[0088] The cover 400 has a double-layered structure with an inner and an outer side. The outer side of the cover 400 is made of polyurethane, which is soft and flexible and has a texture similar to natural leather. The inner side of the cover 400 is made of polyester and has a texture similar to fabric.

[0089] As described above, the bottom surface of the storage box 1 is formed by the bottom surface 101 of the box body 100 and the bottom surface 201 of the cover 200. The sides of the storage box 1 are formed by the side surface 102 of the box body 100 and the side surface 204 of the cover 200, and also by the side surfaces 202 and 206 of the cover 200. The top of the storage box 1 is formed by the top surfaces 203 and 205 of the cover 200. Thus, each surface of the storage box 1 is formed by multiple surfaces, ensuring higher strength compared to a single-surface structure. Furthermore, because the top of the box body 100 is double-covered, the cards C, packaging, card holders 3, and small boxes 2 stored in the box body 100 are difficult to remove from the box body 100. For example, even if only one surface (the second top surface 205) is opened, the contents cannot be seen from the outside, and the cards C and other items stored in the box body 100 will not be exposed through the gaps. In addition, even if the storage box 1 is dropped and subjected to impact, the top is less likely to open compared to a structure that covers the top with one side.

[0090] Additionally, the cover 200 covering the housing 100 can be used as a game mat for placing cards C during competitive card games. The combination of cards C and the game mat required for competitive card games allows for immediate and easy gameplay, offering excellent convenience. This also allows the cover 200 to be effectively used for purposes other than simply being a cover.

[0091] Furthermore, since it has a small box 2 that can be stored in the box 100, small items (dice, coins, tokens, etc.) can be placed in the small box 2 and stored in a centralized manner in the box 100.
