Abstract: A container casing for containing recording media, such as tape-shaped or disc-shaped recording media, has an underlying layer, a colored layer and a protective layer. The underlying layer is formed by printing on the outer surface of the main casing member. The colored layer is formed on the underlying layer by color printing based on the picture information. The protective layer is formed on the colored layer for protecting the colored layer. The protective layer has an opening for exposing its partial portion to outside.
Abstract: An integrally molded video cassette is formed with an integral living hinge between the body of the cassette and the dust cover. An energy absorption zone formed near the hinge isolates the hinge from directly transferring high impact forces between the relatively low mass dust door cover and the high mass cassette body loaded with reels and tape. Energy absorption zones are formed of relatively thin wall areas with radiused intersections. One or more radiused grooves are formed in the wall sections.
