Description

  The present invention relates to a disk storage case for storing a disk on which various types of information such as music and video are recorded, represented by CD and DVD.

As a conventional disk storage case, for example, as described in Patent Document 1, a rectangular front side cover and a back side cover having substantially the same size are connected to each other on the longer side or the shorter side. It has a strip-shaped back cover, and is configured to be openable and closable by being folded into a U shape at the connecting sides between the front cover and the back cover and between the back cover and the back cover. 2. Description of the Related Art A disk storage case or the like having a disk storage portion inside in a state of being folded into a shape and closed is known.
Utility Model Registration No. 3079427

  When a disc is stored in such a disc storage case and sold, the title and summary of the recorded content of the disc, an image photograph or an illustration, etc., for the convenience of consumer selection and sales promotion effects, It is necessary to display information for displaying the contents together with sales related information such as the name of the publisher of the disc, its contact information, a product code, and a price so that it can be clearly seen from the outside of the disc storage case. In the case of a conventional disc storage case, such various types of indications are obtained by placing a printed matter in which the indication is printed in advance on appropriate paper inside the transparent portion of the casing that constitutes the disc storage case and with the printed surface facing outside. Generally, it is performed by storing it facing.

  By the way, when selling such a disc, for example, during a certain period immediately after the release, during an event related to the recorded content of the information recording disc, or other products related to the recorded content of the information recording disc There may be cases where it is desired to display related information that is not required to be displayed at other times temporarily in a case for a specific period such as a certain period immediately after that or during a sales period. For example, a display indicating that the campaign is in progress immediately after the sale, a display of related events and explanations about other products, and the like. In such cases, the price is often sold at a different price from the other times, so the display of the price and the display of an identification code such as a bar code used to enter the cash register at the store are also different from other times. May need to display different content in the case.

  However, according to the display method described above, in order to change the contents of the display, it is necessary to change the print image of the printed matter stored in the disc storage case, so a printed matter for a specific period is prepared separately from the usual printed matter. This increases the cost of producing printed matter such as the design cost of printed images with different display contents. In order to save this cost, a print sticker with a smaller size than the printed material stored in the disk storage case, which is printed only for the information that you want to display for a specific period, is attached to a part of the printed surface of the printed material. It is also possible to do this. However, this method inevitably deteriorates the appearance of the product as a result of hiding a part of the usual print image by the print sticker. In anticipation of sticking the print sticker for a specific period, it may be possible to provide a space for sticking the print sticker to a part of the print image for everyday use, but this time it is useless for a part of the print image. The presence of such a space makes the appearance worse, and also restricts the design of printed images for everyday use.

  In addition, if a product containing printed materials for a specific period is unsold, after that, it is necessary to open the disc storage case one by one and replace the printed materials stored inside to sell it for everyday use. Therefore, it is very time-consuming, and the entire printed matter taken out for a specific period is wasted. When the print sticker is pasted, if the print sticker is removed and the printed material is reused, the waste of resources is reduced. However, it takes a lot of work to remove the print sticker, and if it does not peel off cleanly, a part of the print sticker remains, or conversely, if the printed material is peeled off or the ink is removed, it will be useless. .

  In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the present invention saves the cost of producing printed materials for displaying information even when it is desired to display discs with different information only for a specific period of time. It is an object of the present invention to provide a disc storage case capable of selling discs for everyday use easily after the end of the period.

The present invention is a disk storage case comprising a front cover, a back cover, a back cover for connecting one side of each of them, a folding cover that can be folded and opened at each connecting side, and a disk storage part on the inside. A transparent sheet continuously covering the three outer surface sides of the front cover, the back cover and the back cover, a printed matter inserted between the cover and the transparent sheet and continuously covering the three outer surface sides, and the transparent A transparent sheet is a transparent sheet made of a polyethylene film, a polypropylene film, or a polyester film. The transparent sheet is attached to the outside of the sheet and has a size smaller than the printed matter and continuously covers the three outer surface sides . , the printing seal is capable removability from the transparent sheet without leaving a mark on the appearance of the transparent sheet, before In the printed matter, information for displaying the contents of the disc stored in the disc storage portion is printed at least on a portion covering the front cover, and identification information such as the type and price of the disc is displayed on the portion covering the back cover. One identification code is printed, and a portion that covers the front cover, a portion that covers the back cover, and a portion that covers the back cover of the print sticker is different from the information displayed on the printed matter for a specific period. Information that needs to be displayed only is displayed, and the portion covering the back cover of the printing sticker covers the first identification code, and the identification information different from the identification information is displayed on the outer surface. second identification code Ri is Na is printed, wherein the rear end of a specific period of time, which can be for everyday by peeling off the printing seal disc to It is paid case.

  Since the disc storage case of the present invention has the configuration as described above, when it is desired to display information different from usual during a specific period, the information is printed matter inserted between the cover and the transparent sheet. It is only necessary to print on a printing sticker that is smaller than the size of the transparent sheet, and the printed material can be used as it is for normal use. Compared with the case of producing a dedicated printed material for a specific period. Thus, the cost for producing printed matter can be saved.

  Also, even if part of the information displayed on the printed material may be hidden by the print sticker, if the print sticker is peeled off from the outer surface of the transparent sheet, the entire information displayed on the printed material can be seen. As a result, there is little deterioration of the appearance as a product. Therefore, when producing printed matter, the printed image can be designed freely without worrying about the fact that the print sticker is stuck and hidden in a certain period, and the print sticker is not stuck. With only the case for everyday use in mind, you can make the most attractive designs without hesitation.

  Moreover, in order to obtain a disc storage case for a specific period, it is only necessary to attach a printing sticker to the outside of the transparent sheet covering the outermost surface of the usual disc storage case. be able to. Furthermore, when products for a specific period remain unsold, it is not necessary to open the disc storage case, and it is possible to easily obtain products for everyday use by simply removing the print sticker attached to the outside of the transparent sheet. Since the printed matter stored inside can be used as it is, there is little waste of resources.

  Also, when removing the print sticker, the printed sticker is not attached to the printed matter, so even if the print sticker is removed, some of the print sticker remains on the printed matter, It is possible to prevent the appearance from deteriorating without causing any occurrence of the occurrence of the problem.

  As schematically shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the disk storage case 10 of the present invention has a front side cover 11, a back side cover 12, and a back cover 13 that connects one side thereof to each other. The casing is configured as a basic structure that can be opened and closed by being bent at the side to be bent. The front side cover 11 and the back side cover 12 are substantially the same size, and may be any shape as long as it is larger than at least the size of the disc accommodated therein and has a straight side at the portion connected to the back cover 13. However, it may of course be a square shape, and the contour other than the side connected to the back cover 13 may have an arbitrary shape such as a polygonal shape or an arc shape. . The back cover 13 has a strip-like shape with a width equal to or greater than the sum of the thickness of the disk accommodated therein, the thickness of the front cover 11 and the thickness of the back cover 12, and has two long sides facing each other. The front side cover 11 and the back side cover 12 are connected to each other so as to be bendable.

  The front cover 11, the back cover 12, and the back cover 13 may be formed separately and pivoted so as to be pivotable with respect to the side of the connection portion. By forming the portion thinner than the other portions, the portions may be integrally formed so as to be foldable. The material of these covers is not particularly limited, but generally plastics such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, styrene, etc. are used. These three covers may be transparent or translucent as a whole, may be opaque as a whole, or may include both a transparent or translucent part and an opaque part.

  At least one disk storage portion 14 that can store a disk such as a CD or a DVD is provided in the inside where the above three covers are folded in a U shape at the connection portion and closed. The disk storage portion 14 can be provided on one or both of the inner surface side of the front cover 11 and the inner surface side of the back cover 12. In the illustrated example, only one disk storage section 14 is provided on the inner surface side of the back cover 12, and a booklet describing the contents of the disk and the description of how to use is provided on the inner surface side of the front cover 11. A space is provided for storing the.

  A transparent sheet 15 is provided on the outer surface side of the above three covers so as to continuously cover almost the whole. The material of the transparent sheet 15 is not particularly limited, but generally, a plastic film such as a polyethylene film, a polypropylene film, or a polyester film is used. The portion covered by the transparent sheet 15 only needs to extend over the outer surfaces of the three covers, and does not necessarily have to cover the entire surface. However, if the display area of the printed image of the printed matter 20 to be described later is as large as possible, the amount of information that can be displayed is increased and the appearance is improved. A portion close to the entire outer surface of the cover is preferable.

  The transparent sheet 15 is adhered to each cover at a part of its periphery so that the transparent sheet 15 does not easily fall off from the three covers and a printed matter 20 described later can be inserted later. Adhesive portions are preferably provided on two opposite sides so that the transparent sheet 15 is not turned over and the printed matter 20 is not easily dropped off. In the illustrated example, the transparent sheet 15 has a linear portion near the side opposite to the back cover 13 of the front cover 11 and a portion near the side opposite to the back cover 13 of the back cover 12. It is bonded to the front side cover 11 and the back side cover 12 with a linear portion. The other parts, that is, the top and bottom ends of the front cover 11, the back cover 13, and the back cover 12, are not bonded to each cover, and the printed matter 20 described later is divided into three covers and a transparent sheet 15 from here. It can be inserted between.

  In addition, when the transparent sheet 15 is bonded to each cover after the printed material 20 is inserted, it is not always necessary that the bonded portion has a shape in which the printed material 20 can be inserted later. You may adhere. However, if the air can enter and exit between the transparent sheet 15 and each cover and the outside, the resistance at the time of opening and closing the disk storage case is small, so that at least a part of the periphery of the transparent sheet 15 is not bonded. It is better to have

  As a bonding method between the transparent sheet 15 and each cover, an appropriate method may be adopted according to the respective materials. Specifically, a method using an adhesive, a heat sealing (heat sealing) method, and the like can be given. This adhesion is preferably a permanent adhesion, but as long as a practically sufficient strength is obtained, it may be repeatedly adhered and peeled off with an adhesive, etc. It may be fixed mechanically.

  As described above, the space formed between the front cover 11, the back cover 12 and the back cover 13 and the transparent sheet 15 is stored in the disk storage portion so as to continuously cover the outer surface side of the three covers. The printed matter 20 on which information for displaying the contents of the disc to be printed is printed on the outer surface is inserted. FIG. 3 shows an example of a printed image printed on the outer surface of the printed matter 20, and a portion sandwiched between two broken lines representing two vertical lines near the center in the left-right direction on the drawing. Is the portion that covers the back cover 13, the portion on the right side of the broken line on the right side covers the front cover 11, and the portion on the left side of the broken line on the left side covers the back cover 12.

  The contents of the stored disc, such as the title of the stored disc, an image photo, or an illustration, are displayed on at least a portion of the printed matter 20 that covers the front cover 11, that is, a portion on the right side of the broken line on the right side in the drawing. A print image including at least information 21 is printed. Of course, the information 21 indicating the contents of the same type of disc may be printed on a portion other than the portion covering the front cover 11. In the example of this figure, the title of the disc is printed on the portion covering the back cover 13, and the outline and illustration of the recorded contents of the disc, the name of the publisher of the disc, etc. are printed on the portion covering the back cover 12.

  Further, a first identification code 22 for displaying identification information such as the type and price of the disc to be stored is printed on the portion of the printed matter 20 covering the back cover 12, that is, on the left side of the broken line on the left side in the drawing. Has been. This first identification code 22 is usually near the fold line between the portion covering the back cover 12 of the printed product 20 and the portion covering the back cover 13, that is, near the portion covering the back cover 12. It is provided near the lower right corner. The identification code 22 is expressed by a bar code in the example shown in the figure, but is not limited to this. For example, an OCR code, a QR code (two-dimensional code), a cash register at a store, etc. Any code can be used as long as it can be read by other devices. The identification information displayed by the identification code 22 is not for the specific period described above, but for other periods, that is, for ordinary use.

  On the other hand, on the outside of the transparent sheet 15, a print seal 30 having a size smaller than the printed matter 20 and continuously covering the outer surface side of the three covers is attached. The print seal 30 may cover only a part of the outer surface of each of the three covers, or may cover all of the outer surfaces of some covers and a part of the outer surfaces of other covers. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the printing sticker 30 is a portion covering the entire outer surface of the back cover 13, which is represented by a portion sandwiched between two broken lines representing two polygonal lines in the vertical direction, and a right side thereof. The portion on the outer side of the front cover 11 that covers the part on the connection portion side with the back cover 13 and the portion on the left side of the left broken line, represented by the portion on the right side of the broken line of FIG. And a portion covering a part of the outer surface of the connecting portion side with the back cover 13. When the printing sticker 30 is adhered to the outside of the transparent sheet 15 from the outside, it is observed as shown in FIG. 5 (however, FIG. 5 is a schematic view of the disk case opened).

  As shown in this figure, the shape of the printing sticker 30 is such that the portion covering the outer surface of the front cover 11 or the back cover 12 covers the entire top / bottom direction of each cover in the top / bottom direction and the cover's top / bottom direction. If the shape is such that only a part near the connection portion with the back cover 13 is covered, a printed image (particularly, the content of the disc is displayed on the printed matter 20 covering the outer surface of the front cover 11 and the back cover 12). The amount of information that can be displayed on the portion of the print seal 30 that covers the outer surface of the front cover 11 and the back cover 12 is sufficiently small while minimizing the deterioration of the appearance due to the print seal 30 covering part of the information 21) Can be secured.

  In this case, if the printing sticker 30 has a shape that covers the entire outer surface of the back cover 13, there is no need to make the printing sticker 30 partly constricted. It is possible to prevent an accident in which the seal 30 is broken at a portion where the seal 30 is constricted or a deterioration in appearance when the print seal 30 is mistakenly attached to the cover 30 at an angle.

  The vertical dimension of the printing sticker 30 can be completely matched with the vertical dimension of each cover. In that case, however, a slight misalignment occurs when the printing sticker 30 is attached. Since a part of the end of the printing sticker 30 sticks out from the end of each cover, the appearance is deteriorated, or the sticking out part causes the printing sticker 30 to peel off. It may be easy to tear. Therefore, it is desirable that the vertical dimension of the printing sticker 30 is designed to be slightly smaller than the vertical dimension of each cover. In that sense, “all” in the description of the shape and dimensions of the print sticker 30 described above (for example, “all” in “all in the top-and-bottom direction of each cover”) is strictly a slightly smaller “substantially all” case. It is meant to include.

On the outer surface of the printing sticker 30, information that normally does not need to be displayed but that needs to be displayed only for the specific period described above is displayed. For example, an indication that the sales promotion campaign is in progress immediately after the release of the disc, an indication that an event related to the disc content is being held, an immediate release of other products related to the disc content, etc. Display that the sales promotion campaign period is in progress, display related events and product descriptions, and the like. Of course, display regarding the contents of the disk such as the title of the disk may be made at the same time, and other information that usually needs to be displayed other than the specific period may be displayed together. Display, front cover 11 of the printing seal 30, are displayed on all parts covering the rear cover 12 and back cover 13 according.

  In the present invention, the print sticker 30 is formed so as to cover the first identification code 22 in the printed matter 20 described above, and the first identification code 22 is displayed on the outer surface of the portion. A second identification code 31 for displaying identification information different from the identification information is printed. As a result, during the specific period described above, it becomes possible to input information different from other times at the store cash register, etc., and at the time of the input, the first identification code 22 at the normal time. The second identification code 31 printed on the outer surface of the printing sticker 30 formed so as to cover the first identification code 22 is read and input by the input device in exactly the same manner as when the input device is read and input by the input device. Therefore, it is not necessary to instruct a salesperson or the like to input an input method different from usual only during the specific period, and there is no possibility of an input information error due to an input error of the identification code. Thus, for example, if the identification code contains information about the price of the disc, even if it is sold at a price that is different from the usual price during the above-mentioned specific period, it is mistakenly sold at the same price as usual. Can be reliably prevented.

  The configuration of the printing sticker 30 used in the present invention may be the same as that of a conventionally known ordinary printing sticker. For example, the surface of a base sheet such as paper, synthetic paper, or plastic film that has been printed with a printed image by a conventional method and that that has been subjected to adhesive processing on the back surface can be used. In addition, in the said adhesion process, it is desirable to use the adhesive which has the adhesive force of the grade which can be removed again so that the printing sticker 30 can be easily peeled off from the outer side of the transparent sheet 15 later. The plastic film such as polyethylene used for the transparent sheet 15 and the transparent packaging material to be described later is not very strong to general adhesive, so it can be easily recycled unless it is used even with a special strong adhesive. Often peelable.

  The sticking method of the printing sticker 30 may be hand-pasted or machine-pasted. In the latter case, for example, using a known machine or a similar machine according to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-324922, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-142425, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-298209, etc. The sticking work of the printing sticker 30 can be performed. The printing sticker 30 may be directly attached to the outer surface of the transparent sheet 15, but the disk is stored in the disk storage portion 14 inside, and the printed material 20 is inserted between each case and the transparent sheet 15. May be once wrapped with a transparent packaging material such as a plastic film, and the printing seal 30 may be adhered to the outer surface of the transparent packaging material.

  In the disc storage case of the present invention, a part of the printed image on the outer surface of the printed matter 20 inserted between each cover and the transparent sheet 15 is covered with the print sticker 30. In this state, the printed image of the printed matter 20 is displayed by the printed image. Although it cannot be denied that the appearance is lowered, the print seal 30 can be easily peeled off from the outside of the transparent sheet 15, and after peeling off, the entire printed image of the printed matter 20 can be observed without any obstacles. Therefore, it can be said that the deterioration of the appearance is temporary, and after purchase, it can be used and stored in a state in which the appearance is recovered by peeling off the printing sticker 30. Further, when the unsold product is left after the above-described specific period is over, the unsold product is not wasted by a simple operation of simply peeling off the printing sticker 30 and thereafter sold as a normal product. be able to.
