Abstract: In connection with a portable folding receptacle of wallet format, made from a plastic material and being especially suited as multi-purpose portfolio, it is proposed to connect two half-shells by means of an elastic, integrally formed back hinge comprising longitudinally extending ridges with interposed film-joint hinge elements permitting smooth opening and closing of the receptacle. The receptacle may be equipped with folding inserts, in the manner of a book, or may be equipped in its interior with a ring-book mechanism.

Abstract: The invention concerns a transport and protective case for an information medium in particularly a minidisc. According to the invention, the parts of the case are integrally attached to one another by means of film hinges. In addition, snap-lock devices that are convenient to open are provided, in order to secure the lid in its position with respect to the case bottom when the case is closed.

Abstract: In connection with a multi-sectional storage receptacle for a plurality of plate-shaped record supports (floppy discs), accommodated in individual stiff partitions, which form a stack in the closed condition of the storage receptacle and are spread apart during the opening process, via their articulated connection elements, it is proposed to form the connection elements, which preferably have the form of flat connection bars, integrally with the partitions, connecting them to the latter on both sides via film joints, and to provide an additional joint at the middle of each connection element, by which the connection elements are folded back against themselves in the closed condition of the receptacle and which allow the storage receptacle to be displayed, in its open condition, in any spread-apart, stepped or rosette-like arrangement.

Abstract: In connection with an individual container, which can be assembled with a pre-determined number of additional individual containers to form a multiple storage container, in particular a multiple filing box, it is proposed to subdivide each individual container into one front wall portion and one rear wall portion which are interconnected by links in such a manner that opening and closing kinematics similar to those of a parallelogram guide are obtained for each individual container, and that fixing means are provided on the respective rear and front faces of each individual container for connecting it safely, but detachably, to the associated rear or front face of the adjoining individual container whereby a multiple filing box is obtained that can be opened and closed in concertina-like mannner. The multiple filing box is composed of individual containers which form the transport and/or sales packing of the goods (CD disk, data storage means, or the like) accommodated in each individual container.

Abstract: In a multisectional storage container, especially a storage box for the storage of plate- or disk-shaped items, such as compact disks or diskettes, for example, it is proposed that individual storage sleeves be interconnected one with the other in an articulated manner by means of interconnecting means in such a manner that the sequence of sleeves can be opened in the nature of a parallelogram mechanism or in an accordian-like manner, thus enabling all of the items that are contained therein to immediately be visually inspected and identified and/or manually removed. By subsequently collapsing the individual storage sleeves of the storage box, it is possible to house them in a minimum of space, without any clearance one between the other, and, if desired, to store them in a dust-tight manner by means of an enveloping enclosure.

Abstract: A roll holder includes a base plate and two yokes pivotally supported on the base plate. One of the yokes is a suspension yoke having a free arm for holding a roll with a tape material thereon and another yoke is a braking yoke for braking the rotation motion of the roll when a portion of the material is to be torn-off from the roll. The braking yoke also has a free arm which overlaps the free arm of the suspension yoke and has a U-shaped cross-section so that the free arm of the suspension yoke without the roll thereon can be inserted into the free arm of the braking yoke and the roll holder can be folded.
