  • Patent number: 7591372
    Abstract: A package has a sliding blister card and a locking sleeve made from a base and a top. The card is made from conventional blister dose packaging material, with blisters formed in a single layer plastic top holding medicaments on a sealing paper, board, or foil layer. The top and base form a closed case, open along one end. The blister card is slid into the sleeve until detent(s) engage aperture(s). Appurtenant(s) adjacent to the detent(s) urge the blister card to engage the detent(s) at the card's receiving aperture. Pressing on release disengages the card and detent by warping the card to move the aperture away from the detent so that the card may be slid through the open end of the sleeve. Reverse pressure easily slides the blister card back into the containment element without manipulation of parts.

  • Patent number: 7117992
    Abstract: A storage package for multiple recording media includes a plurality of paper board panels arranged end to end and separated from each other by spline strips which allow the panels to be folded upon one another to resemble a closed book. First and second plastic, recording medium-holding latching trays are attached to the inside face of the last panel to be folded and to the panel face opposite the inside face in the folded configuration. Upstanding wall portions on one of the latching trays nest within the corresponding wall portions of the other latching tray when the latching trays are assembled together. Additional trays for holding recording media are attached to panel faces which are in the interior of the package in the closed configuration.

  • Publication number: 20040144662
    Abstract: A storage container for holding multiple discs includes a container cover and a container base, the container base including a rosette for supporting a disc within a disc mounting area thereon, a leaf including a rosette for mounting a disc on a first side thereof, the leaf being dimensioned to fit within the base when the container is closed, and a pair of hinges mounting the leaf adjacent the disc mounting area of the base for providing relative rotational movement between the base and the leaf, whereby a disc mounted on the base can be accessed by rotating the leaf about the hinge means when the container is open between an unpivoted rest position overlying the disc mounting area and a pivoted position.

  • Patent number: 6530474
    Abstract: A tray for holding multiple discs within a storage container which, desirably, is a conventional single disc jewel box, includes a leaf for mounting discs on opposite sides thereof and a shelf substantially rigidly attached, via attachment plates depending from the shelf, to the jewel box base, the leaf being pivotably connected to the shelf via a hinge connection which permits the leaf to pivot thereabout for accessing discs on both sides of the leaf. Flanges cantilevered from the leaf each have an upwardly opening pivot bore for pivotably engaging a pivot pin supported by the shelf. Reinforcing plates depending from opposite sides of the shelf are spaced from the shelf attachment plates for rigidly reinforcing the shelf while permitting the shelf attachment plates to flex, as needed, to engage the jewel box base.
