  • Patent number: 4508217
    Abstract: A storage container and display device for floppy diskettes, and the like, has a base portion (10) forming a receptacle (12) of generally rectangular configuration and having a support portion (14) hingedly attached thereto and removeably interlocked with a first portion (24) of an upper part (22). A second portion (26) of the upper part (22) is hingedly attached to the first portion (24) thereof so as to cooperatively form a holder for floppy diskettes, and the like. When both portions (24, 26) of the upper part (22) are swung open relative to one another, the contents thereof can be placed on display. Conversely, when both portions (24, 26) of upper part (22) of the unit are in overlying relation and folded into the receptacle (12) formed by the base portion (10) a compact storage unit results. A guide arrangement is associated with both the base portion (10) and the upper part (22) for facilitating relative movement between the various parts and portions of the device.

  • Patent number: 4498583
    Abstract: A diskette storage container is formed of molded plastic parts which are pivotally connected together. A substantially rectangular base member has upwardly rising side walls, and cams having cam apertures adjacent the side walls. A cover member is pivotally connected to the base so that the rear edge of the cover passes into the base and rests at a slightly obtuse angle against the cams. A diskette support member is pivotally mounted to said cover and includes camming surfaces which ride on said cams as the cover is rotated toward its open position. The pivotal connection is disposed rearwardly of the centroid of the diskette support member. A notch in said camming surface is positioned to engage the cams when the cover is fully opened. This allows the diskette support member to drop forward a predetermined distance which improves accessibility to the diskettes.

  • Patent number: 4478335
    Abstract: A diskette storage container is formed of three molded plastic parts which are pivotally connected together. A substantially rectangular base member has upwardly rising side walls, a display operative in the bottom and cams adjacent the side walls. A cover member is pivotally connected to the base so that the rear edge of the cover passes into the base and rests at a slightly obtuse angle against the cams. A diskette support member is pivotally mounted to said cover and includes camming surfaces which ride on said cams as the cover is rotated toward its open position. A notch in said camming surface is positioned to engage the cams when the cover is fully opened. This allows the diskette support member to drop forward a predetermined distance which improves accumibility to the diskette.
