Abstract:
A container for accommodating data storage media such as video cassettes is disclosed. The container has a slider member that carries the storage media and moves out of the housing. The slider member allows the cassette to be grasped freely after ejection of the slider member from the housing. One or more door elements connected to the housing are controlled by the movement of the slider member between open and closed positions. The media are protected by the door element(s) being closed when the slider member is inserted into the housing.
Abstract:
A box, particularly for holding floppy discs, has an outer sleeve enclosing a drawer. The drawer can be withdrawn partially from the sleeve to a position where pins moulded inside the sleeve and sliding in grooves in the sleeve limit the withdrawal. The drawer and sleeve can then be swung with respect to each other and the drawer moved back on itself. The open box is self-supporting in this invert-V configuration.
Abstract:
A rolltop diskette container which requires no more desk area when in the open position than it does when closed. The rolltop diskette container holds 100 of the 51/4 inch (133 millimeter) diskettes and requires approximately the same desk area as the conventional flip-top diskette container. The flip-top diskette container holds only 50 of the 51/4 inch (133 millimeter) diskettes.The rolltop diskette container is comprised of two side panels 1 and 2, a bottom panel 3, and a rolltop 4. Partitions 6 and 7 may be utilized to index and separate the stored diskettes.
Abstract:
The disk-shaped information recording medium having an outer diameter and an inner diameter comprises a substrate having a predetermined thickness, a first side that is one side of the substrate, a second side that is the other side of the substrate, a cylindrical portion forming a through hole formed at a center of the substrate, and a thin portion formed so as to surround an outer diameter of the cylindrical portion. The thin portion is thinner than the predetermined thickness and includes a non-inclined surface and an inclined surface formed on an outer diameter side of the non-inclined surface. The inclined surface is inclined at an angle greater than or equal to 25 degrees and less than or equal to 35 degrees with respect to the non-inclined surface.

Abstract:
An electronic media storage apparatus includes a lower housing having a floor, opposed side walls and a rear wall. A front wall is movable between open and closed configurations. The apparatus includes a cover having a top portion and opposed first and second sides extending downwardly therefrom. The lower housing side walls, lower housing rear wall, and the front wall collectively define a continuous lip at an upper end of the lower housing and an upper end of the front wall when the front wall is at the closed configuration. The cover is removably coupled to the lower housing and the front wall. When the front wall is at the closed configuration and the cover is coupled to the lower housing and front wall, a hermetic cavity is formed between the lower housing, the front wall, and the cover; the cavity being sized to receive an electronic media item.
