Abstract: A notebook computer copy clip for being removably secured to either side or the top of the screen of a notebook computer for holding documents for viewing while using the computer. The copy clip of the includes a spring member and a facia member, each being fabricated from a flexible, resilient material such that the copy clip may be bent to engage a side or the top of a notebook computer screen, and such that when removed, it will return to a planar disposition. To this extent, each of the spring member and the facia member defines a substantially planar configuration. An engagement device is provided for securing the facia member to the spring member. The engagement device includes cooperating engagement tabs and tab receptors defined by the spring member and the facia member. In order to lock the engagement of the facia member with the spring member, the spring member defines a locking member below the engagement tab thereof for engaging the lower extent of the facia member tab receptor.
Abstract: A stackable container for computer media, such as floppy disks or the like. The container comprises a base and a removable cover. During ordinary use of the container, the cover fits in an upright orientation securely atop the base to provide closure of the container. The cover is constructed so that when it is removed and inverted, it nests in the base of the container. Thus, during packing and shipment (or storage) of the container, the cover is removed and inverted and nested in the base. The cover, which is typically made of clear styrene, is relatively brittle, and the ability to nest the cover in the base, which is typically made of a more resilient plastic, provides protection from physical damage to the cover during shipment. Also, the base is constructed to at least partially nest in the inverted cover, so that multiple containers can be packed and shipped more compactly.
Abstract: A copystand for holding magnetic disks and documents is disclosed. In an open position, disks can be inserted into and removed from the base means while a document is held in proper reading position by the copystand's face. In a closed position, the disks are locked into the base means and the now nearly flat copystand can be easily moved to another location. If desired, documents may remain attached to the face of the copystand during such a move.
