With of the case and the upper case

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a storage case with a stopper integrated with an upper case capable of eliminating fluctuation of the engagement maintaining force of a disk cartridge by the stopper, and simplifying the assembly of the upper and lower cases while increasing the assembly strength of the upper and lower cases.;SOLUTION: In the storage case, an upper case 9 is slidably fitted to a lower case 8, both cases 8 and 9 are engaged with and connected to each other with an upper horizontal side wall 18 located on the inner surface side of a lower horizontal side wall 15, the upper horizontal side wall 18 and the lower horizontal side wall 15 are engaged with each other in a mating manner and in a non-detachable manner in the vertical direction, and a stopper 20 to hold a disk cartridge in a non-detachable manner is integrated with a rear portion of the upper horizontal side wall 18. The stopper 20 has a cantilever beam-shaped arm 37 continuous to the upper horizontal side wall 18 and an engagement piece 38 which is swollen on a free end of the arm 37. A projection 26 to receive a middle portion of the arm 37 is provided on an inner face of the lower horizontal side wall 15 adjacent to the stopper 20 to regulate the deformation starting end position of the stopper 20 by the projection 26.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
