[0010] <Embodiment 1> Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the configuration of booklet storage case 101 in embodiment 1. Fig. 2 is a front view showing the configuration of booklet storage case 101. Fig. 3 is a side view showing the configuration of booklet storage case 101. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of booklet storage case 101. Fig. 4 shows a cross section along A-A' shown in Fig. 3.

[0011] The booklet storage case 101 is a case capable of storing the booklet 1 in an upright state. The booklet 1 is, for example, a book, a notebook, a file, a document, etc. The booklet storage case 101 includes a case body 10 and a moving mechanism 20.

[0012] The case body 10 is formed of, for example, plastic or metal. The case body 10 may be formed of reinforced paper such as cardboard. The case body 10 includes a storage section 11 and an opening 12.

[0013] The storage section 11 is provided inside the case body 10. The storage section 11 is capable of storing the booklet 1 in an upright state. When the booklet 1 is stored in the storage section 11, a space 13 is formed between the booklet 1 and the upper end of the case body 10. In other words, when the booklet 1 is stored in the storage section 11, the case body 10 has the space 13 between the booklet 1 and the upper end of the case body 10.

[0014] The opening 12 is provided in the upper part of the case body 10 and is connected to the storage section 11. The booklet 1 is stored in the storage section 11 through the opening 12, or is removed from the storage section 11 through the opening 12.

[0015] The moving mechanism 20 moves the booklet 1 stored in the storage unit 11 in the vertical direction. The moving mechanism 20 is formed of, for example, plastic, metal, or reinforced paper such as cardboard. The moving mechanism 20 includes a holding plate 21, a hole 22, and a handle unit 23.

[0016] The holding plate 21 is provided at the bottom of the storage section 11. When the booklet 1 is stored in the storage section 11, the holding plate 21 holds the booklet 1.

[0017] The holes 22 are provided on the side surfaces of the case body 10. In the first embodiment, the holes 22 are provided on the first side surface 10A of the case body 10 and on the second side surface 10B disposed opposite the first side surface 10A. The holes 22 have a vertically elongated shape.

[0018] Handle portion 23 is connected to holding plate 21 and protrudes from hole 22 to the outside of case body 10. Handle portion 23 controls the vertical position of holding plate 21 by moving along hole 22. Handle portion 23 in embodiment 1 includes a first handle 23A and a second handle 23B. First handle 23A is provided on first side surface 10A of case body 10. Second handle 23B is provided on second side surface 10B of case body 10.

[0019] Next, a method for removing the booklet 1 from the booklet storage case 101 will be described.

[0020] 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which booklet 1 is stored in booklet storage case 101. Booklet 1 is stored in storage section 11 in a vertically standing state, and booklet 1 is held by holding plate 21. Also, sticky note 2 is sandwiched in the upper part of booklet 1, and sticky note 2 protrudes from the upper end of booklet 1.

[0021] A space 13 is provided between the booklet 1 and the upper end of the case body 10. The sticky note 2 is contained in this space 13. Therefore, the sticky note 2 will not bend when it comes into contact with the case body 10 or an external object. For example, even if the booklet storage case 101 is stored in a bag, the sticky note 2 affixed to the booklet 1 is unlikely to bend. In this way, the space 13 between the booklet 1 and the upper end of the case body 10 protects the sticky note 2 affixed to the booklet 1.

[0022] FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the booklet 1 is lifted by the moving mechanism 20. When the booklet 1 is to be removed from the booklet storage case 101, the handle portion 23 is first moved upward. The handle portion 23 moves along the vertically long hole 22. Accordingly, the holding plate 21 connected to the handle portion 23 also moves upward. The booklet 1 held by the holding plate 21 is lifted, and the upper end of the booklet 1 protrudes from the opening 12 of the case body 10. As a result, the booklet 1 can be easily removed. In this way, the moving mechanism 20 prevents the booklet 1 from being difficult to remove from the storage section 11 when a space 13 is provided between the booklet 1 and the upper end of the case body 10.

[0023] To summarize the above, the booklet storage case 101 in the first embodiment includes a case body 10 and a moving mechanism 20. The case body 10 includes a storage section 11 capable of storing the booklet 1 in an upright state. The moving mechanism 20 moves the booklet 1 stored in the storage section 11 in the vertical direction. The moving mechanism 20 includes a holding plate 21, a hole 22, and a handle section 23. The holding plate 21 is provided at the bottom of the storage section 11 and is capable of holding the booklet 1. The hole 22 is provided on the side of the case body 10. The handle section 23 is connected to the holding plate 21 and protrudes from the hole 22 to the outside of the case body 10. The handle section 23 moves along the hole 22 to control the vertical position of the holding plate 21.

[0024] With this configuration, booklet storage case 101 makes it easy to handle booklets 1 stored in storage section 11.

[0025] The sticky note 2 is placed in a notebook or document so that a part of it sticks out at the part that the user wishes to refer back to. Sticky notes 2 are used in a variety of situations, and there are many different types. For example, commercially available sticky notes 2 are generally made of paper or soft plastic. When a booklet 1 is stored in a bag, the sticky note 2 attached to the booklet 1 sticks out from the booklet 1 and is therefore prone to bending. If the sticky note 2 is bent, it becomes difficult to use and loses its adhesiveness. In addition, it becomes difficult to know which part the user wishes to refer back to, and the function of the sticky note 2 as a marker is lost. Such problems lead to an increase in the consumption of sticky notes 2.

[0026] Booklet storage case 101 of embodiment 1 protects sticky notes 2 affixed to booklet 1 by using space 13 between booklet 1 and the upper end of case body 10. Booklet storage case 101 prevents the sticky notes 2 from losing their function as markers and reduces consumption of sticky notes 2. Also, since booklet 1 itself is stored in case body 10, booklet storage case 101 is suitable for storing important booklets 1.

[0027] In the first embodiment, an example is shown in which the sticky note 2 is affixed to the booklet 1. However, the effect of the moving mechanism 20 can also be obtained when the booklet 1 without the sticky note 2 is stored in the booklet storage case 101. For example, when a space 13 is formed between the upper end of the booklet 1 and the opening 12 of the case body 10, the booklet 1 is stored in a position recessed from the opening 12 of the case body 10. Such a booklet 1 is difficult to remove from the storage section 11. However, according to the booklet storage case 101 of the first embodiment, the booklet 1 is lifted by the moving mechanism 20, so that the booklet 1 can be easily removed.

[0028] (First Modification of First Embodiment) Although the above-described booklet storage case 101 is provided with two handles, the first handle 23A and the second handle 23B, as the handle portion 23, the number of handles may be one. That is, one handle may be provided so as to protrude from either side of the case body 10 to the outside of the case body 10. Even with such a configuration, the same effect as above can be obtained.

[0029] (Modification 2 of the First Embodiment) 7 is a cross-sectional view showing the storage state of booklet 1 in Variation 2 of Embodiment 1. Booklet 1 is stored in storage section 11 in a landscape orientation. Even in such a case, the same effect as above can be obtained. That is, booklet storage case 101 protects sticky note 2 affixed to booklet 1 by space 13 between booklet 1 and the upper end of case body 10. Also, when booklet 1 is to be removed, moving mechanism 20 lifts booklet 1 upward, making it easier to remove booklet 1.

[0030] <Embodiment 2> 8 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of booklet storage case 102 in embodiment 2. Height H of storage section 11 when holding plate 21 is in the lowest position has a value greater than √2 times width W of storage section 11. Height H of storage section 11 corresponds to the distance between the upper surface of holding plate 21 and opening 12 of case body 10. Width W of storage section 11 corresponds to the distance between two side surfaces of case body 10 arranged opposite each other. Here, width W of storage section 11 corresponds to the distance between first side surface 10A and second side surface 10B.

[0031] The booklet 1 in the second embodiment has a size of A or B. Therefore, the ratio of the width to the height is 1:√2 for both A and B sizes.

[0032] As long as booklet storage case 102 has the above-mentioned configuration, a space 13 is formed between booklet 1 stored in storage section 11 in a vertically standing state and the upper end of case body 10. Such booklet storage case 102 protects sticky notes 2 affixed to booklet 1.

[0033] <Embodiment 3> 9 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of booklet storage case 103 in embodiment 3. Handle portion 23 includes extension mechanism 24. Extension mechanism 24 extends and retracts the length of handle portion 23 in the protruding direction. When handle portion 23 is in a contracted state, handle portion 23 is stored inside case body 10. When handle portion 23 is in an extended state, handle portion 23 protrudes to the outside of case body 10.

[0034] When booklet storage case 103 is stored in a bag with handle 23 in a contracted state, handle 23 does not protrude, so handle 23 will not be damaged. Also, handle 23 does not interfere with storing booklet storage case 103 in the bag.

[0035] <Fourth embodiment> Fig. 10 is a perspective view showing the configuration of booklet storage case 104 in embodiment 4. Fig. 10 shows the configuration of movement mechanism 20. Movement mechanism 20 includes stoppers 25 that fix the position of holding plate 21 in the up-down direction.

[0036] The stopper 25 is, for example, a step formed in the hole 22. The stopper 25 stops the handle portion 23 by hooking it onto the step, thereby fixing the position of the holding plate 21.

[0037] Handle 23 includes, for example, an openable / closable claw. Handle 23 moves upward when the claw is closed, and is hooked on stopper 25 when the claw is open.

[0038] When the handle 23 includes the first handle 23A and the second handle 23B provided on both sides of the case body 10 as in the first embodiment, the user of the booklet storage case 101 grasps the handle 23 with both hands and lifts it up. In this state, it is difficult to remove the booklet 1 from the storage section 11 because both hands are occupied. According to the booklet storage case 104 of the fourth embodiment, the stopper 25 fixes the position of the holding plate 21 in the up-down direction. Therefore, even when the handle 23 is provided on both sides, the user can easily remove the booklet 1 from the storage section 11 by moving the holding plate 21 upward.

[0039] <Embodiment 5> Figures 11 and 12 are cross-sectional views showing the configuration of booklet storage case 105 in embodiment 5. Figure 11 shows a cross section corresponding to A-A' shown in Figure 3. Figure 12 shows a cross section along B-B' shown in Figure 11.

[0040] The booklet storage case 105 includes at least one cushion 30. The cushion 30 protrudes from the side surface of the case body 10 in the storage section 11 toward the inside of the case body 10. The cushion 30 is provided above the upper end of the hole 22 of the movement mechanism 20. In the fifth embodiment, two cushions 30 are provided. The cushion 30 is formed of, for example, sponge, rubber, or cloth.

[0041] When booklet 1 is stored in storage section 11, cushion 30 is pressed against booklet 1. Cushion 30 prevents booklet 1 from jumping out of case body 10 or from moving inside case body 10. As a result, sticky note 2 attached to booklet 1 is prevented from bending. In addition, because cushion 30 is provided above the upper end of hole 22 of movement mechanism 20, holding plate 21 does not interfere with cushion 30 even when handle portion 23 moves upward.

[0042] (Modification of the fifth embodiment) 13 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of a booklet storage case 105A in a modified example of the fifth embodiment. The number of cushions 30 may be one. Although not shown in the figure, three or more cushions 30 may be provided. With at least one cushion 30, the same effect as above can be obtained.

[0043] In the present disclosure, each embodiment can be freely combined, and each embodiment can be modified or omitted as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
