Case and method of using the case
A case includes a case body including an accommodation space to accommodate electronic components and a discharge port to take the electronic components in and out from the accommodation space, a shutter slidable relative to the case body to open and close the discharge port, and a slider slidable at the case body relative to the shutter along a sliding direction of the shutter and including a first plate-shaped portion capable of overlapping with an outside of the shutter in the case body. In a state in which the shutter closes the discharge port, the slider overlaps with the shutter so as to be slidable together with the shutter.
1 . A case comprising:
a case body including an accommodation space to accommodate a plurality of components and an opening to take the plurality of components into and out of the accommodation space;
a shutter slidable relative to the case body to open and close the opening by sliding; and
a slider including a first plate-shaped portion located in the case body, slidable relative to the shutter along a sliding direction of the shutter, and provided on an outer side of the shutter in the case body in a superimposable manner; wherein
in a state in which the shutter closes the opening, the slider is superimposed on the shutter so that the slider is integrally slidable with the shutter; and
the first plate-shaped portion of the slider includes an operation hole that exposes the shutter to outside.
2 . The case according to claim 1 , wherein the shutter includes a film with a thickness of about 0.1 mm or more and about 0.5 mm or less.
3 . The case according to claim 1 , wherein the shutter includes a through hole communicable with the operation hole.
4 . The case according to claim 1 , wherein the slider includes a second plate-shaped portion that sandwiches the shutter with the first plate-shaped portion and is located on an inner side of the shutter.
5 . The case according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of electronic components has a length of about 1.2 mm or less.
6 . The case according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of electronic components include capacitors or inductors.
7 . The case according to claim 1 , wherein the case body has a flat box shape.
8 . The case according to claim 1 , wherein the case body includes a top plate portion, a bottom plate portion, a front wall portion, a rear wall portion, a pair of right and left side portions, and a sloped plate portion that vertically partitions an interior of the case body.
9 . The case according to claim 1 , further comprising an RFID tag at a rear portion of a lower space of the case body.
10 . The case according to claim 1 , wherein the case body includes an upper grip portion and a rear grip portion.
11 . The case according to claim 1 , wherein the case body includes a plurality of claw portions on a bottom surface.
12 . The case according to claim 1 , wherein the shutter is made of a flexible material so as to be bendable.
13 . The case according to claim 1 , wherein the shutter is made of polyethylene terephthalate.
14 . The case according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the shutter is about 0.1 mm or more and about 0.5 mm or less.
15 . The case according to claim 8 , wherein a slope angle of the sloped plate portion is about 3° or more and about 10° or less.
16 . A method of using the case according to claim 1 , the method comprising:
moving an operation pin into the operation hole;
causing the operation pin to pierce the shutter;
moving the operation pin in an opening direction of the shutter; and
sliding the slider and the shutter in conjunction with each other to open the opening closed by the shutter.
17 . The method according to claim 16 , wherein a click is provided to a user sliding the slider.
18 . The method according to claim 16 , wherein the shutter and the slider are independently slidable in a front-rear direction in a non-interlocked or non-conjunction state.
19 . The method according to claim 16 , wherein the shutter and the slider have a first position relative to each other for shipping, and a second position relative to each other for loading the plurality of electronic components.
