[0015] The background to the invention will be explained. Packaging boxes and packages for collectibles are sometimes collected as part of the collection, and collection cases are required to store, display, and protect not only the collectibles but also the packaging boxes and packages. However, with conventional collection cases, when removing the packaging boxes or packages to be protected, a stick must be inserted into a small gap through the opening for inserting and removing the contents, and the packaging box must be hooked to remove it, which can damage the packaging box, making it difficult to remove it from the collection case without damaging it. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a collection case that allows packaging boxes and packages to be handled without being damaged.
[0016] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated examples. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of a collection case 1. As shown in FIG. In this embodiment, a case will be described in which the storage space of the collection case 1 is partitioned into 15 sections in the height direction and 7 sections in the width direction (15×7 cells). Figure 2 is a front view of the collection case 1 in this embodiment, Figure 3 is a back view of the collection case 1 in this embodiment, Figure 4(a) is a right side view of the collection case 1 in this embodiment, Figure 4(b) is a left side view of the collection case 1 in this embodiment, Figure 5(a) is a plan view of the collection case 1 in this embodiment, and Figure 5(b) is a bottom view of the collection case 1 in this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1, the collection case 1 is a case for storing and displaying collectibles and packaging boxes for the collectibles. The collection case 1 is provided with multiple compartments for storing multiple items. The collection case 1 has a case body 10, a door 12, a back panel 14, and a partition panel 16.
[0017] The case body 10 has a frame 100, which is the framework of the collection case 1. The frame 100 forms the rectangular parallelepiped shape of the case body 10. The frame 100 is a plate-like member, and as shown in FIG. 2, the frame 10 forms the bottom, top, side a, and side b of the rectangular parallelepiped. In this embodiment, the frame 100 is made of wood, giving the collection case 1 a luxurious appearance. The case body 10 also has an opening for inserting and removing stored items. The case body 10 of this embodiment is approximately 71 cm high, approximately 62.5 cm wide, and approximately 16 cm deep, and the depth is sufficient to allow the collection items and the packaging box behind them to be placed side by side. The surface of the case body 10 that displays the stored items (display surface) is covered by a door 12.
[0018] The door 12 is an openable / closable door that covers an opening through which items stored in and removed from the collection case 1 are inserted and removed. The door 12 includes a frame 120, a panel 122, an attachment 124, and a fastener 126. The panel 122 is surrounded by the frame 120, which is a wooden frame. The panel 122 is a panel approximately the same size as the display surface of the collection case 1 and is made of transparent resin, an acrylic plate in this example. The panel 122 is more flexible and resistant to impacts than glass, so that even if a child bumps into it, it is less likely to break and cause injury than glass. The door 12 is attached to the case body 10 by the attachment 124. In this embodiment, the attachment 124 is a hinge, and the door 12 is attached to the case body 10 by the hinge 124 in an openable / closable manner. Furthermore, the door 12 is fixed to the case body 10 in a closed state by the fastener 126. Specifically, in this embodiment, the fastener 126 is a snap lock. The snap lock 126 has a hook portion and a lock body, and in this embodiment, the hook portion is provided on the door 12 and the lock body is provided on the case body 10, but this is not limited to this, and the hook portion may be provided on the case body 10 and the lock body may be provided on the door 12.
[0019] The partition plate 14 is a plate-like member that separates the storage space for the items stored in the collection case 1. The area of the opening of one compartment of the case body 10 is approximately equal to or slightly larger than the display surface of the packaging box stored in that compartment. The partition plate 14 includes a horizontal plate 140 and a vertical plate 142, and the horizontal plate 140 and the vertical plate 142 are intersected and combined to form a compartment that serves as the storage space for the items. The horizontal plate 140 divides the storage space of the case body 10 in the height direction, and the vertical plate 142 divides it in the width direction, determining the size of each compartment. The horizontal plate 140 and the vertical plate 142 have notches that allow them to intersect and fit together. Additionally, grooves 144 into which the partition plates 14 are fitted are provided in the frame 100 of the case body 10. The grooves 144 are provided at equal intervals in the height direction of the case body 10. Specifically, the grooves 144 are provided at intervals of approximately 4.0 cm to 4.5 cm in the height direction so that the area of the back panel 16 of the storage space (compartment) formed by the partition plates 14 is approximately equal to the back surface of the packaging box to be stored. The partition plates 14 are removable, allowing the storage space to be changed depending on the size of the items to be stored. In this embodiment, the size of each compartment is approximately 4.2 cm in height, approximately 8.1 cm in width, and approximately 8 cm in depth. This makes the size of each compartment approximately the same as the size of the packaging box to be stored, improving the appearance when the packaging box is stored and preventing the packaging box stored in the compartment from shifting out of position.
[0020] The back plate 16 is a plate-like member that forms one side of the case body 10 and is approximately 2.5 mm thick. Specifically, the back plate 16 is a plate-like member that is attached to the frame 100 and forms the back surface of the collection case 1. The back plate 16 has holes 160 that are through-holes, and as shown in FIG. 3, the holes 160 are provided in each of the multiple compartments formed by partitioning with the partition plates 14. Specifically, the holes 160 are provided in the center of the back plate 16 in each compartment. For example, 105 holes 160 are provided in a collection case 1 that has 15 × 7 compartments. Hole 160 is smaller than the contents to be contained in the compartment, specifically, smaller than the packaging box of the contents to be contained in the compartment. Hole 160 is also large enough for a finger to fit through, and has a diameter of approximately 20 mm to 30 mm, and in this embodiment, a diameter of 25 mm. The packaging box to be contained is located in a straight line with hole 160. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, it is possible to insert a finger into hole 160 and push the packaging box out of the opening. The holes 160 also function as ventilation holes for the collection case 1, and are effective in preventing moisture from entering the contents of each compartment. In particular, since packaging boxes are often made of paper, absorbing moisture softens the packaging boxes, preventing them from warping and changing shape. Furthermore, although the material of the back panel 16 is wood, for example, the back panel 16 may be made of a transparent material. This makes it easy to find the hole 160 corresponding to the target packaging box when pushing it out of the multiple compartments when viewed from the back of the collection case 1. Furthermore, any protrusions or fluff that occurred during the process of forming the holes 160 in the back panel 16 are removed, and the surface of the circumferential portion of the holes 160 is smooth, so that fingers can be inserted into the holes 160 without being injured. Furthermore, a coating agent may be applied to the circumferential portion of the holes 160 to make fluff less likely to occur. The light source 18 is a device that emits light toward the back panel 16. For example, the light source 18 is an LED. The light emitted from the back panel 16 side of the collection case 1 passes through the hole 160 and illuminates the packaging box and collectibles. The light source 18 is an example of an illumination unit according to the present invention.
[0021] As described above, according to the collection case 1, a finger or a rod-shaped tool can be inserted through the hole 160 provided on the back surface of the collection case 1, and a packaging box of approximately the same size as the compartment can be pushed out and removed from the collection case 1. In this case, because the packaging box is pushed out from the rear, it can be removed without damaging the packaging box. Furthermore, the stored items are illuminated from behind by the installed light source, which visually highlights the stored items and makes the entire collection case 1 look beautiful.
[0022] (Variation) In the above embodiment, the collection case 1 is provided with the door 12, but this is not limiting, and for example, the stored items may be displayed without the door 12 and the opening may not be blocked. By not providing the door 12, it becomes easier to take the stored items in and out. In addition, in this embodiment, the collection case 1 is described as being divided into 15 x 7 squares, but this is not limited to this and it may be divided into, for example, 8 x 6 squares, 15 x 4 squares, 8 x 4 squares, etc., and the number of items that can be stored in the collection case 1 can be changed based on the size of the case body 10 and the way the items are divided by the partition board 14.
