Abstract

A wrap around case including: a case body that includes a top face panel and a bottom face panel, a front face panel and a back face panel, and a pair of side face panels, and that is formed with a perforated tear section running along a ridgeline formed by the top face panel and each of the pair of side face panels; and an overlap section that extends from the top face panel toward the bottom face panel side and overlaps the front face panel, and that is formed with a gap to an edge portion at the bottom face panel side of a cutout portion formed at a position offset to one end side or another end side of the center, along the facing direction of the side face panels, of an edge portion at the top face panel side of the front face panel.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wrap around case comprising:
a case body that comprises a top face panel and a bottom face panel facing each other, a front face panel and a back face panel facing each other, and a pair of side face panels facing each other, the case body being formed with a perforated tear section running along a ridgeline formed by the top face panel and each of the pair of side face panels; and
an overlap section that extends from the top face panel toward a bottom face panel and overlaps the front face panel, and a gap being formed between the overlap section and a cutout portion formed at a position offset to one end side or another end side of a center, along a facing direction of the side face panels, of an edge portion of the front face panel, that is nearer to the top panel than to the bottom panel.

2. The wrap around case of claim 1 , wherein:
the overlap section overlaps a face of the front face panel at a side facing the back face panel; and
a portion of the overlap section exposed through the cutout portion is formed with a shorter length from the top face panel than other portions of the overlap section.

3. The wrap around case of claim 1 , wherein
at least the tear section at the side to which the cutout portion is offset is formed with a weaker strength at a position nearer to the front face panel than a position nearer to the back face panel.

4. The wrap around case of claim 3 , wherein:
each tear section is configured including a plurality of incision portions arrayed along each ridgeline; and
the incision portions are formed such that a pitch of the incision portions is narrower at a position nearer to the front face panel than a position nearer to the back face panel.

5. The wrap around case of claim 3 , wherein:
each tear section is configured including a plurality of incision portions arrayed along each ridgeline; and
the incision portions are formed with a longer length along each ridgeline at a position nearer to the front face panel than a position nearer to the back face panel.

6. The wrap around case of claim 1 , wherein
the cutout portion is formed at both the one end side and the other end side of the center, along the facing direction of the side face panels, of the front face panel.

7. The wrap around case of claim 1 , wherein
the edge portion, that is nearer to the bottom face panel, of the cutout portion is formed in a circular arc shape.

8. The wrap around case of claim 1 , wherein
the wrap around case is for storing a plurality of recording tape cartridges.
