Abstract: A case for portable electronic device has a set of substantially rigid opposing faces mounted on a hinge that fold together to enclose the device. An internal electrical connection between the device and the case is used to provide an electrical access point on the exterior of the case. The external electrical connection is accomplished through a passive electrical connector positioned on the hinge that holds the opposing faces together. Additional active electronics and batteries may also be positioned in the hinge such that the case can be operationally linked with the device contained in the case. Since many portable electronic devices are dimensioned to be carried in pockets or purses, limiting the size of a protective carrying case can be crucial to gaining consumer acceptance. The case is particularly well adapted for use with a digital music player.

Abstract: With the proliferation of PC's and their use as the essential medium for writing and keeping data, the traditional saving of alphanumeric data in a hard copy format should be supplemented by the easily manageable filing within a GUARDISK, that is, an inexpensive, easily manipulated, easily filed plastic envelope with a closure which gives is a better than none protection against atmospheric and pollutant or damaging elements, and secures and allows easy retrieval and re-insertion of the detachable storage copy of the electronic material (diskette, CD, DVD, and others) the filing next to the print-out in hard copy being an essential feature. It is most advantageous and time saving to file the electronic alphanumeric data together with the hard copy so as to have easy access to it whenever it is to be transferred back to a PC for storage or reworking.

Abstract: The clam shell container is formed by a cover formed of cardboard, chipboard or other similar material. A thermoform plastic tray is adhered to the inner surface of the cover to form the completed clam shell container. When closed, the edges of the tray move closer to the edges of the cover. The thermoform is bonded to the tray with adhesive and the container is closed to allow the adhesive to cure in the closed configuration. When opened, stress is created by the tray being fixed to the cover. To alleviate the stress, perforations between the tray sections and the spine break forming three distinct sections. In the open configuration, a small gap is created between the tray section and the spine.
