Abstract
Abstract A recording medium storage case comprises an upper case member (2), a lower case member (3) and a recording medium holding member (40, 50), all pivoted together around a pivot (6, 7, 43). When the upper case member (2) is pivoted open relative to the lower case member (3), a first engaging portion (13) on the upper case member (2) comes into engagement with a first engaged portion (45) on the recording medium holding member (40) after a predetermined angle of opening and continued opening movement thereafter causes the recording medium holding member (40) to be rotated to pivot it away from the lower case member (3).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
173 words
A recording medium storage case (1) comprising: a first case member (2) and a second case member (3) pivoted together by and relatively rotatable about a pivot (6,7) located in the vicinity of one end of the case; and a recording medium holding member (40) rotatably supported at the pivot (6,7) and housed between the first case member (2) and the second case member (3) when the case (1) is closed; characterised in that a first engaging portion (13) is provided on the first case member (2); a first engaged portion (45) is provided on the recording medium holding member (40); the first engaging portion (13) engages the first engaged portion (45) upon rotation of the first case member (2) through a predetermined angle relative to the second case member (3) from a closed position of the case (1); and after engagement of the first engaging portion (13) with the first engaged portion (45), continued rotation of the first case member (2) causes the recording medium holding member (40) also to be rotated.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
173 words
A recording medium storage case (1) comprising: a first case member (2) and a second case member (3) pivoted together by and relatively rotatable about a pivot (6,7) located in the vicinity of one end of the case; and a recording medium holding member (40) rotatably supported at the pivot (6,7) and housed between the first case member (2) and the second case member (3) when the case (1) is closed; characterised in that a first engaging portion (13) is provided on the first case member (2); a first engaged portion (45) is provided on the recording medium holding member (40); the first engaging portion (13) engages the first engaged portion (45) upon rotation of the first case member (2) through a predetermined angle relative to the second case member (3) from a closed position of the case (1); and after engagement of the first engaging portion (13) with the first engaged portion (45), continued rotation of the first case member (2) causes the recording medium holding member (40) also to be rotated.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
A recording medium storage case according to claim 1, wherein the first engaging portion comprises a lateral projection (13) provided on the first case member (2) spaced from the pivot (6, 7) and the first engaged portion (45) comprises a wall (45) at the end of an arcuate slot (44) in the recording medium holding member (40).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
105 words
A recording medium storage case according to claim 2, including a slider (70) supported within the recording medium holding member (40) and slidably movable relative to the holding member (40) such that, upon the first case member (2) being rotated away from the second case member (3) to rotate the projection (13) about the pivot (6, 7), the slider (70) is moved by the projection (13) toward the other end of the second case member (3), and a recording medium held on the holding member (40) is ejected toward said other end of the second case member (3) by the movement of the slider (70).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
A recording medium storage case according to claim 3, wherein the slider (70) is provided with a pair of hook portions (72), by which a recording medium can be held thereon.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
43 words
A recording medium storage case according to any one of claims 1 to 4, including a lock means (28, 29) to lock the first engaging portion (13) at a position wherein the first case member (2) has been rotated beyond said predetermined angle.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
151 words
A recording medium storage case according to any one of claims 1 to 5, including: an opening and closing handle (30) supported at opposite sides of the other end of the first case member (2) so as to be rotatable with respect to the first case member (2); a second engaging portion (33) provided on the handle (30); and a second engaged portion (21) provided on the second case member (3) and to be engaged with the second engaging portion (33), wherein the handle (30) can be grasped to rotate the first case member (2) with respect to the second case member (3) thereby to open or to close the case (1), and the handle (30) can be rotated in the closed position of the case (1) to provide engagement or disengagement between the second engaging portion (33) and the second engaged portion (21) thereby to lock or unlock the case.
