Patent number: 6341693Abstract: A storage case has a base half and a slide half, the slide half moveably attached to the base half. The slide half can move along in continuous contact with the base half. A lid is integrally formed with the slide half, and opens and closes an opening in the slide half for the insertion or removal of objects. When the slide half is slid along in continuous contact with the base half, protrusions on the lid move along in continuous contact with cam grooves on the base half to permit the lid to open and close. The storage case can store a memory card, and protect the card from being smudged, dirtied or damaged from impact.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2000Date of Patent: January 29, 2002Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Toshikazu Konno, Chika Nakata, Masahiro Kinoshita, Makoto Yamaguchi

Patent number: 5860523Abstract: A tape cassette receiving housing comprises a housing proper portion and a lid portion which is fixed to the housing proper portion through a hinge portion so as to enable to be opened or closed. Shaft portions are formed so as to penetrate into reel driving holes of a supply reel and a take-up reel of a tape cassette received in the housing proper portion. Elastic bodies are attached to outer peripheries of the shaft portions, and the elastic bodies are brought into contact with inner peripheral surfaces of reel driving holes. According to the above construction, a tape cassette is fixed in the tape cassette receiving housing so as not to incline the tape cassette and not to rotate the supply reel and the take-up reel.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 1995Date of Patent: January 19, 1999Assignee: Sony CorporationInventors: Toshikazu Konno, Hiroshi Ozaki, Kiyoshi Urayama, Takashi Ota, Seiji Nihei, Taizo Fukuda, Takayasu Hirano, Osamu Koizumi

Patent number: 5539876Abstract: Upon detecting removal of a display section from a computer unit's main body, dismounting a battery, removal of a memory board from the computer unit's main body or the like, the CPU saves system data no matter whether or not the resume mode is on and turns off the main power supply. Subsequently when the power switch is turned on the CPU checking if said system data is saved. The CPU restores said system data and restarts the data processing in case where the preservation of said system data is detected.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1995Date of Patent: July 23, 1996Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Toshimitsu Saito, Masahiko Kasashima, Toshikazu Konno

Patent number: 5499714Abstract: A tape cassette container casing includes a casing main member having a tape cassette housing recess for housing a tape cassette and a lid formed as one with the casing main member via a hinge. The tape cassette housing recess has a reel holding protrusion formed on its bottom surface. The reel holding protrusion is engaged in a reel hole of a tape cassette for inhibiting idle rotation of a tape reel having a magnetic tape wound on it. A protrusion is formed at a position on the bottom surface of the tape cassette housing recess of the casing main member registering with a mouth portion of the tape cassette for delimiting the loading direction of the tape cassette. With the tape cassette container casing, the lid may be closed onto the casing main member only when the tape cassette is housed in the correct position for preventing damages to the magnetic tape.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 1994Date of Patent: March 19, 1996Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Toshikazu Konno
